@Lil S I was going to use a runner initially. But, I thought it shouldn't block the stairs or entrance to the kitchen. I guess I was thinking too much. I've never had a long hallway before, so I was stumped! I appreciate the feedback. @Karen Rose: Apparently, I was thinking way too much about this and should have went with my first gut. Ugh. Thank you so much! @groveraxle You are awesome for proving a link. I was looking on Wayfair and Overstock and couldn't find a runner longer than 13 feet. Since the 22 foot runners are only 2' 3" and wouldn't cover the opening of the front door. I think a indoor/outdoor rug and then a 16" would work, Yay

THE RULE Is don't make a second post!! Go to a real carpet store, ask to see stair runners that come in 36 inch widths.Have it made to the length you need and backed with non skid. Or look at area rugs in 3 x 5 for the entry if that fits.. No doormat sizes. Ready made runners will be too narrow for your space No to the rug under table. You need an 8 x10 and I doubt that fits. Nothing is far better, than a too small rug.

How about a very practical half-circle rug for the doorway entry, but a real rug, not a doormat, and then another rug in front of the chest? I don’t think they need to be important rugs, either of them, and best if they don’t match. Just that they don’t claSh. Maybe the rug in front of the hall chest coulf pick up the firey hue of the lamp beyonD. If I can come up with an example I’ll post a pic.

Want to redo lamps and table accessories in Entry and Family room. Also need rugs. Family room is oversized so need a 12x12 or maybe 12x15 area rug.
