Rug types and sizes in open dark entryway?
I have no idea what to do for rugs in my entry (how many and what size)! I want a mat at the door for wet boots, snow and mud but want to also have a rug to define and warm up the space (something light colored to brighten space cause of my I-so—regret dark floors!). Ignore white rug in middle i was attempting to brighten area.
My 6ft wide entry opens right up into short hallway and kitchen so I need to break up and define the space. i am thinkiing a 3x5 mat at the door and then immediately followed by a 4x6 jute or neutral rug in front
of bench? It is a high traffic area that has entry to living room on right and bedroom hallway on left
i need advixe on how to brigjten up and define the space!

4 years agoEven with a mat to pick up the worst of the mud and wet, a jute rug or anything light will quickly be marked with visible stains you won’t be able to wash away. A vividly patterned rug with darker tones and a design that will dissapate the appearance of scuffs and stains can be lively and ”bright”

Presuming you have an excellent doormat outisde the door, how about putting a large area rug you like to be underfoot right as guests walk in, a rug that would be positioned where you currently show that light gray rug as people walk in, but much much larger. Create the space so that someone walking in has immediately to the left a neat tidy place to get rid of a wet jacket, umbrella or hat. And it’s a comfortable space for two people to stand, turn around, with the rug underfoot.
Then think about adding a different round rug between the 2 closet doors in the short space of hallway leading to the kitchen. Take away that console table with the plant. Hang art on the walls instead or a mirror with a thin floating shelf.
Let’s say you picked a round bright colored rug for the space closer to the kitchen. Would a square or rectangular entry rug like these work for you?

nothing this elaborate, and no upper cabinets, but how about a fraction of this on the left wall as someone walks in?

I had thought about the large rug-only option but being in Canada i really need a mat at door for kids and boots. I will be putting up hooks and a mirror above bench and colorful art above console (if kept there). my main issue is regretting the dark ceramic floor. i have trouble looking past it and hate them. Your last picture of mud room mostly gave me floor envy!
Here is a picture with only large mat at door (4x6ish camel color LLBean waterhog mat). Then with a second 4x6 i have - likely need option with colour if second rug is a viable option.
