Final Words

A rug is the perfect finishing touch to your entryway or foyer! As well as looking stylish, rugs work hard to help to protect your carpets or wooden floors from wear and tear in the heavy traffic areas of your home.

When choosing a rug for your entryway, remember to take into account the color, texture, pattern, and material to make sure it compliments the rest of your decor. When it comes to size, bigger is usually better for rugs, so choose a size that will work well in the space you have.
