Your foyer is the center stage when someone enters your home. The rug here should make an instant statement about what the rest of the home has to offer.
Round area rugs are a great way of welcoming others into your home, and there are plenty of options to select from. Before you make the wrong first impression, keep in mind the range of options you have.
This space is one that many people often make mistakes in. rather than doing that, invest in a high quality, great looking rug for the space that makes the right statement and presents your home in the right light.
Color and Pattern
Perhaps the most important element in this selection of a round area rug is its color and pattern. This is what people will instantly see when they come into your space, so you will probably want to make the right statement for your personal style.
Keep these things in mind when considering these rugs:
- The rug can make a statement by being a bold color or pattern as long as it fits somewhat in the surrounding room.
- Do not use the area rug that is too busy and overwhelming in a space that has clutter or otherwise full of lots of color and patterns.
- Choose a pattern or image that is inviting. You want to ensure that it sets the tone for the rest of the home.
The Right Size Matters
The right size round area rug is also very important. The round shape helps to make the message of inviting and openness, so this is an ideal choice for this space.
Yet, if the rug is too large for the room, the round shape is lost. More so, a too large rug may pull away from the other items in the room.
If the rug is too small, though, you may find that it is lost in the space and may even dwarf the entrance way.
To get the right size, use the center of the rug as the center of your entryway, including the door or doors and the satellites surround it. The edge of the doorway can be the width of the rug.
Keeping It Clean
Finally, when selecting a round area rug for this space, be sure that the rug has a design for easy cleaning. Because it is by a door, it is likely to clutter easily and trampled on.
Choose a rug that can have laundering or cleaned using a carpet cleaner. You also want to choose a highly durable rug.
If worn thin or the edges start to fray, the look of the space is completely lost. This is not going to help you present the right image.
With the right quality of round area rug, your foyer area of your home can make a real statement about who you are.
Rugs are functional but they can also be welcoming and enjoyable pieces in a space if they have appropriate selection.
