I would start with the rug in front of the door first, as I feel it’s an absolute must to have a front door rug.

I see no point in a runner except for looks. IMO add some art on those walls and then decide if you need a runner . Just make sure the mat at the door is big enough to allow more than one person at a time on it. Why does the front door open out?

I agreed with Melissa about black. I like colors to relate to each other and am not a total convert of the random pop of color. I would look for a rug that incorporates black, the stone color of the floor and then the extra color, maybe pull a color from the room you are entering into.

UPDATE: I still haven’t bought a rug 🤦🏻‍♀️but I did listen to all your advice and mapped out the dimensions of potential rugs and furniture. The first photo shows what a 5’x8’ rug would look like near the doors. The second shows a 4’x6’ rug next to my console table (coming in late May/early June). The remaining two photos show the entire hallway from both ends. I think the 5x8 rug would look good by the doors, but I can’t help but feel that even with the console table, settee, and other decor (I plan on adding a small accent table and tall vase on either sides of the settee), that would still leave a large swath of uncovered floor. I was considering putting a second 5x8 rug, but based on many photos I’ve looked at, you’re not supposed to have the rug go under the console table feet. Hence why I mapped out a 4x6. But that size seems small for that area, even if I put two of them. Should I even go for three 4x6 rugs? Or would it look disjointed? Does anyone have any suggestions? TL;DR- do I use one 5x8’? Do I use two 5x8’ and have the edge of the second go under the console table feet? Do I use two 4x6’? Maybe even three?
