No, simply because I believe one needs an actual rug on which to wipe the shoes. Plus, an area rug is a great way to spark up a small space.

I like it!

i like it but it still needs a subtle mat for wiping shoes.

It's lovely.

Beautiful! ♡ it!

As for not having a rug, like Mark suggested--placing a rug just outside the door is perfectly fine. :))
