Rug: size/color for my entryway?
Comments (11)Thanks for your reply my3dogs... Our entryway ended up smaller than I originally wanted - the width is 57" so 5x8 is just barely too wide. Ah! I'm thinking an indoor/outdoor made of polypropylene. Yes...the ability to wipe feet is needed...we live in Michigan. This area is pretty much only used for guests, though, so it isn't heavily trampled on... The dash and Albert runners are 2'5" so are a touch wider than many I've seen at just 2". This is tricky!...See MoreRug size dilemma
Comments (7)Porter is correct, rugs should be to the floor what a tabelcloth is to a table, not a centrepiece, as is so often done. You have a good proportion in that sketch. I would go with either of them, and have it meet the tv console. Not knowing the exact dimensions, I can't tell whether the rug to the blue area would look odd in relation to the room door, but that is something you should consider too...See MoreEntryway rug size
Comments (13)I'd use a 2'6" runner, but you might consider a longer one. Can you show a photo from the front door? I'd like to see the rug run down perhaps to cross the stairs or even further. Table: You need to move it toward the stairs so the door clears it....See MoreRug types and sizes in open dark entryway?
Comments (6)Presuming you have an excellent doormat outisde the door, how about putting a large area rug you like to be underfoot right as guests walk in, a rug that would be positioned where you currently show that light gray rug as people walk in, but much much larger. Create the space so that someone walking in has immediately to the left a neat tidy place to get rid of a wet jacket, umbrella or hat. And it’s a comfortable space for two people to stand, turn around, with the rug underfoot. Then think about adding a different round rug between the 2 closet doors in the short space of hallway leading to the kitchen. Take away that console table with the plant. Hang art on the walls instead or a mirror with a thin floating shelf. Let’s say you picked a round bright colored rug for the space closer to the kitchen. Would a square or rectangular entry rug like these work for you? nothing this elaborate, and no upper cabinets, but how about a fraction of this on the left wall as someone walks in?...See Morefelizlady
