Not a pro but you probably want a good sized rug... like 6x (4 or 8 depending on your dimensions). Personally I’d use something multicolored to hide dirt and debris. Beautiful room.

Not multicolored like blue and red but more in keeping w your warm neutrals. The palette you have is pretty limited/narrow ....

I can see something in a velvety green - would add color but still be earthy with your neutrals. Some ideas:

I'd prob do a small bench in front of that window (you'll have to move that chair) with a large basket underneath for shoes.

and if you can swing any of that wall space, maybe hang some hooks or :

For the runner, in the winter, try a chunky jute or sisal type of rug. it should be at least 4'-6' in length.

you have a very nice looking space. few ideas on styling your console (the top looks a little bare)

I think a white orchid in the blue/white chinoiserie pot would be a perfect addition

What a gorgeous room.

I'd go as wide as the door with sidelights and something black and ivory that will obscure debris.

grover, can you try the middle or the right one? I like the middle one because of the golds. would look nice w/her room.

Looks like that is the direct entrance from outside? If so,then I would look into Waterhog mats and/or a boot tray.

It's a beautiful room...and some of those rugs certainly would work in your color scheme ...but , to see all those winter boots as part of the living room ..? And where do you hang your clothes , coats , parkas ?? I would make a little mud room in the future ...out of the entrance space including the window ...as a second entrance ...just enough space to come in ..hang your winter coats ..put your shoes and then come into your beautiful living room , or , extend a little area outside the door ...moving the front door out by 1.50 m or 4.5 feet ...to create a mud room outside and separate from the living room .

I thought that about the boots at first, too, silvia, but with the dark jute rug above, everything kind of disappears. The rug disappears into the floor, and the boots disappear into the rug and don't bother me anymore.

I also thought about a large basket to throw the boots into, but I assume wet boots need to dry and air out after you come in. (I live where the only boots we have are cowboy boots.)

Thanks so much for all of your great feedback! I’m loving the idea of the dark jute rug... Trying to find that patterned one. This seems to be a close second...

Also- I agree on styling the credenza!

Diane, I think that may be it.

I like the dark rug. As for the wet boots, our layout is similar and the front door is our most practical entry so we use it mostly. I put a 25”x18”and deep, lidded dark brown basket from Michael’s on the side wall and put the boots in it with a towel to wipe the water. Works perfect for us And keeps it tidy. Baskets breathe.
