Welcome!
Handmade entrance hall rugs will transform any entrance hall into an area where people will feel welcome.
Any rug in a hallway must be able to withstand considerable wear. Because dust and dirt are the most damaging things for a rug or carpet, make sure you have a very good quality doormat for people to wipe their feet on before they reach the rug.
It's also important to have a suitable pad or underlay for the rug which helps to prolong its life. The ideal rug would have a dense weave and be dark colored so as not to show up dirt.
- Entrance halls are ideal places to hang rugs on the walls. If you have any kilim rugs you want to display, don't use them on the floor where they may not last long; hang them on the walls.
- Long runners are ideal in a long or narrow hallway.
- If your entrance hall is an irregular shape, try using a number of smaller rugs.
- Use your hall rugs to delineate space. For example, if you have a small table and chair in one section, placing a rug under them can set them off within the space. And if that area won't be walked on very much, you could use a lighter colored rug.
