suggestion on size /shape for entry way rug

4 years ago

Hello all ,

Looking for suggestions here .

My entryway ( photo attached ) measures 60inch by 50 inch and opens into a large living area . Entrance door is not on the center of this entry , instead towards right side ( when I face entrance door from
Inside ). Would like to
Know what kind ( size and shape ) of rug would look good on this .

I was thinking 3x4 area rug that look more
Like a runner since it covers almost the entire length . But difficult to find those since it’s not
One if the standard size ?

Looking forward for your suggestions

Thank you
Ashraf

    If this was my entry, I'd get a rug as wide as the entry and about 4-5' long.

    4 x 6 is a standard size i think - tape that out & see how it fits space

    Thank you . Yea 4x6 is a standard size . But my entry at measures 5x4 ..may be an option is to use 4x4 ?

    @Ashraf Peedi is the 5’ measurement from door to end of wall? Cant’t see the ’front” end much past the wall but if it’s open space, the rug can go into it past that wall. Otherwise, another option might be 3’x 5’ which is also a standard rug size. A square 4x4 might work but I’d like to have floor showing all around the edges. Using a standard size does give you many more choices & all price ranges..

    hello @KW PNW Z8 Thanks. Door to end of the wall is 4'. This opens into living space ( photo attached)

    wall to wall ( width ) is 5' . This is the entrance width...This includes door width of 3' .

    @Ashraf Peedi link above is to 4’ square rugs at that rug site. I agree that’s best option if you want to keep rug strictly inside the 5‘W x 4’ L entry space. To balance the width, how about a narrow 10” - 12” deep x 36” to 40” ish or so long console type table to place on window side of door. Hang art or a mirror above & you have a nice entry set up with a place to set things on as you come in front door.

    Thank you so much .. I like the idea of entry table .. also wondering if an entry table & 2.6’ (w) x 4 ‘ (L) rug would look good ?.. more like a narrow runner …

    Yes, Ashraf, I think that would work too & you could then have a deeper table.. You’ll want to keep the table legs off rug & table should be maybe no wider than that entry window including the casing around window. For the rug I suggest setting up a visual aid. Either tape out on the floor the exact size of rug or use a folded sheet or bath towels. I find that so helpful Also,be aware that most area rug measurements aren’t quite exact & some measurements include any fringe on rug ends. I’ve ordered 6’ rugs that were 3” longer - no fringe & 24” wide that were 23” actual. Pay attention to any reviews on a rug if you order on line!,

    This may not be your style or colors, but here's a 4x6 placed both ways:




    Look for their rug visualizer to try other styles and sizes
