Check 56400 Burgundy Wool Rug by Ted Baker

A rug at your entryway sets the first impression of your living space's interior and sets the tone for your family or guests, every time someone walks by. Entryways are also referred to as "foyers" or "entry halls". Entryways serve to be an important part of your home, as when someone walks by they will see your entryway. Make sure to set the tone of your entryway in such a way that reflects the style and aura of your home. Deciding on a rug for your Entryway is not an easy task with trivial decisions. Consider the natural elements as well as the style of your home, and then carefully merge the two while choosing a rug for your Entryway.

Read on to know some basic tips for choosing a perfect Entryway Rug.

 

1. Size:

When choosing a rug for your entryway the foremost thing is to make sure that the size of the rug is in proportion to the size of your entryway. A small rug with 2'x3' size may look minuscule in your giant entryway. A large rug of size 5'x7' may look too big itself. The general rule is to allow 18"-24" of floor space between your rug and the wall. When choosing a rug, start by measuring your entryway then choose a shape that best compliments your entryway. If you have a narrow, long entryway, you may opt for a runner.

2. Material:

Entryways receive a lot of foot traffic with ample dirt and moisture, hence entryway rugs experience a lot of wear and tear. But the right kind of material for your rug may make all the difference.

• Jute and Sisal Rugs are a popular choice for entryways as they are highly durable and resilient. These rugs serve best in catching dirt and moisture and can be cleaned easily by regular vacuuming.

• Wool is one of the top choices of interior decorators when it comes to rug materials. Wool rugs are durable and easy to maintain. The wool material is naturally moisture resistant and stain-resistant.

• Synthetic fiber rugs such as nylon, polyester, etc are a perfect choice for entryways. Synthetic rugs come in vivid colors and intricate patterns, they are also stain-resistant and easy to maintain.

3. Pattern:

While choosing a rug for your Entryway, make sure to consider a patterned or colorful rug. This can prove to be useful as entryways usually receive a lot of foot traffic. When people enter your abode, all kinds of dirt, debris may end up on your rug. If you have a heavy patterned or colorful rug; it can help hide the markings which can prove to be helpful as you won't have to clean the rug much often.

4. Durability:
