Foyer rug advice

10 years ago

What would you do? Should I do a 2'5 X 9 runner, a 4x6 pulled slightly away from the door as we have a register right off to the side of the door or a 3x 5 that will serve more as a door mat? Found a beautiful wool and sisal woven rug at PB that will blend so well with other rugs in the open concept space. Just not sure which size to get.

The front door entry has a few things to consider in selecting your rug...the main one being if soil will be carried in and the next is that this is the first impression of your home...
a runner would just feel like you need to follow it some where .....so I would go with the other shapes..I always lean toward the larger size as it is a more welcoming than functional in feel...
usually for practical reasons I gravitate toward patterned rugs so guests are not hesitant if their shoes are wet or soiled and you are not forced into constant upkeep worries...
Whichever of these applies ...quality is always a good choice as well..
