Entryway runner ideas
I bought this bold entryway runner several years ago and have liked, but have not loved it. It is slightly curved and cannot be fixed. We recently got a new stairway runner installed and I thought it would go together, but I’m not sure it does. We also have a bold rug in the living room right next to the entryway, so I’m thinking we’ll need something simpler and more neutral. Any ideas??

What type of rug (e.g. runner, area, runner plus entry mat) is best?
Comments (0)We are building a home with a foyer that is 17.5 feet long and 8.5 feet wide with 11 foot tray ceiling running the same length. We want a runner but wonder if we should save room for an entry mat at the double front doors. Also, we don't know how wide or long the runner should be, whether WITH an entry mat or WITHOUT one. Thanks in advance....See MoreEntryway Runner Dilemma
Comments (2)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....See MoreShould entry rug match runner?
Comments (3)I prefer non-matching rugs, too, in most circumstances. I think it looks more interesting and collected, as well as sort of visually defining the rooms (exception being ultra-modern monochromatic homes)....See MoreRug Runner for Entryway Opening into Living Room
Comments (8)You all are so kind!! Thank you all for the wonderful compliments on our room and our collection of folk art by some of our favorite artists. Made our day!!! Somehow I had the feeling that you all were going to say exactly what I was already thinking and ordered rugs (red/multi and the sisal) on Monday knowing we could return them if we hated them, and they arrived today. My friends, what a HUGE difference! I knew it once they were laid out. The entry feels like its own area but still coordinates with the living room while covering the blank space correctly. Amazing. I may put up our primary bedroom (oversized) to see what you all suggest for the direction we are going. We can't thank you all enough!!...See Moreshirlpp

last yearThere’s just a brown mat right at the door. I would like to keep a runner there, as the floors are quite slippery and we have 2 toddlers and a dog who love to run around.

last yearTry to complement living room’s style and if its lighter, should also work with runner.
