Entryway rug size
I need help completing my entryway. Should I get a rug that is 3x5 or 4x6? I've taped out both dimensions, but I'm not sure which will look better. Also, I'd love recommendations for what to hang on the wall above the bench. Anything except a circular mirror (I already have a circular mirror hanging above the fireplace in the adjoining room). Thank you!

Your green tape bled through in the mockup. :D

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 MoreHelp with entryway rug size!
Comments (31)A more put-together width for the hallway rug would be a "runner". The furniture would be off the carpet. Runners can come in very long lengths. If it were me, I'd make it almost the length of the hallway, but from photos, it's hard to judge what doors, etc. you have at the end. I'm not sure what your tastes are, but judging from the current rug, an oriental might work for you. I'd pick up the shade of the wood floor in an oriental rug with saturated colors....See MoreRUGS!

Comments (3)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....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 MoreJilly

7 months agoThis is the rug that I have in the living room (clearly visible from the entryway). And this is the carpeting in the other room right next to the entryway. What style of entryway rug would complement both? A neutral? A pattern? Now that I know the right size, I'd appreciate recommendations about what type of rug to look for. Thanks!
