looking for an entryway rug runner

3 years ago

We are in the process of adding details to our foyer entryway area. We have black slate and an accent wall in the process(see photo of wallpaper). I am contemplating on what kind of runner rug to add to make sure it’s not too busy. I was thinking of a natural woven rug or a jute rug. See below of examples in rugs that I’m looking at. What do you think should go here? We do not like farmhouse style and want a boho modern look.

    I have no suggestion regarding the rug. Just wanted to say I love the wallpaper with the floor. It is a great looking combo imo.

    I have questions! Are you replacing small rug in front of door? Is the wall paper going to cover the entire wall behind the entry stand piece? What kind of window covering did you decide on from last post? As for the rug you’re showing, I kind of like it - the simplicity goes well with all the other details in this space. What I mostly like about the rug is that it seems peachy / pinky toned like the pale color in the wall paper. If the color is not as shown but is the usual jute color then I’m not so excited about it. I’d want a rug with hint of that pale color in wallpaper. Off topic suggestion - think about putting the Sansevieria plant into either a black, gold or brass pot.

    Oh, wow, I agree with Friday — that’s going to look fabulous! Love your style and think a jute rug would be perfect in there.

    I’ve had the same one in my entry for over 20 yrs (two houses), and it still looks great. Invest in a good quality one; it’ll hold up well.

    KW, I decided on white silhouette blinds! The wallpaper would just be on one wall behind the tree hall I have. The wallpaper has pink, white, navy, some yellow, gold and gray. With the slate floors and the wallpaper I didn’t want to make it too busy with rug that had so many patterns. Are you saying to look for more a yellow ish toned jute rug?

    I’m looking to repot my plant hopefully next week haha.

    @Zoe Schonfeld Great that you’re getting Silhouettes - that was my vote 😁 No, I’m not saying to look for a yellowish tone jute rug. I like the jute rug idea. I meant too that I really like the one you’re showing which appears to have a pinky tone like the pale color in wall paper. Didn’t mean to make more projects for you in repotting. You could get a large cache pot & stick the white pot sans the saucer into it. That plant likes a tight fit in pots though it looks like a couple of spears could use a tidy up with scissors!

    Doesn’t anyone know if these types of rugs are scratchy or soft?

    I love the jute rug also. I think those rugs are scratchy? Might be good for getting dirt off shoes. Your floor is beautiful! i hope you post photos of the room when you are finished.

    I like the idea of a jute rug but I'd look at something that blends in more with the floor so it won't take away from your cool looking wallpaper. Here's one in navy from Amazon although I'm sure there are many places to find similar.

    Great mock-up, Friday.

    I’d definitely go with a natural color jute.

    Thank you everyone

    Oh, my - I love your wallpaper! Looking forward to seeing your finished entry!!

    Jute is fairly soft, but also often quite thick. Is a great look. Sisal the scratchy natural fiber.

    I do like the natural look. I found one that had navy in it. Would this make it too busy or just get all natural?

    My first thought is to avoid any pattern so that tile pattern on floor isn’t compromised. The space has the great wall paper & the beautiful flooring - let them shine by adding only solid color for the rug.

    I agree — solid jute. :)
