Length of rug relative to space? - This looks so nicely proportioned! What's your rule of thumb on how close a long runner like this can be to the structural elements on either end -- in my case, front door and staircase. Its a Brooklyn townhouse. Thanks! »
Julie Dasher Rugs The amount of space around the rug depends of course on any furniture in the space as well. I suggest leaving 6 to 12 inches of exposed floor around the rug...sometimes even 18 inches in a larger room. If your entry has no furniture, then 6 to 12 inches of exposed floor would work. There is not a hard and fast rule of thumb because furniture placement is critical to the decision. Best of luck!
Julie Dasher Rugs The width of the entry rug depends on the width of the entry area, not the width of the door. I recommend leaving 6 to 12 inches of exposed floor on either side of the entry rug. Good luck!
