Carpet runner is sold by the linear foot at the big box stores. Get your room measurements, grab your corona virus mask, and go to the store, pick out something you like and get it cut to the correct length to fit your home.

Ikea also has some beautiful carpets and curb-side pickup in most locations :). I would put in a floating shelf with a mirror on top rather than a console - it'll make the hallway look and feel woder.

Upgrading the lighting would be a nice way to decorate as well and add needed light. Depending on your style you could use flush Moravian stars, drum lights, or small lanterns.

thanks for all the suggestions. lighting is definitely something I'd like to upgrade in the future. I guess I was also wondering in regards to a runner, how long it's supposed to be. All the way to the door , or only the length of the narrower part of the hallway?

I'd probably do a rectangular rug just inside the door to define the entry and a matching or coordinating runner down the length of the hallway, stopping at the door.

It doesn't have to be an exact length but bigger is better than smaller. You just want something to grab the eye and ground the space.

I would just do a rug at the front door area. Why cover the lovely floors.

Not a pro but I would paint the interior of the front door and add board and batten to the walls.

nice idea allie
