How do you place a rug in an entryway?

Keep the rug clear of the door's swing, or choose short pile so the door passes over it. A square hall takes a round rug under a pendant and a narrow entry a runner; when to use a round rug explains why.

What pile height clears a front door?

Short pile, 0.4 in (1 cm), clears most inward-opening doors and lets grit shake out.

Do tassels belong by the front door?

Not at the door end: they catch on the door, boots and suitcase wheels, and hold wet grit. On a round rug in a large foyer, or at the far end under a console, they look finished.

What is the most durable rug for an entryway?

Dense wool in short pile, in a mid-toned pattern: wool springs back after a shoe and holds grit near the surface for the vacuum. The grid of Darja from Dama or the carved relief of Hamada from Terrain keeps its look after a winter of boots. In a wide entry, a round rug can anchor a table.

Which rug suits a small entry with a console table?

A runner along the console, or a round rug under a pendant: Tamda from Jibal comes as both. For a warmer hall, Jnane from Bloom sets the tone. A long entry can take a runner instead, as in runner ideas by room.

How do you clean an entryway rug after rain or snow?

Let wet patches dry flat, then vacuum with suction only, and blot salt or mud from the edge inward with cool water, never rub. The care guide covers deeper stains.
