Making an Entrance

The formal entry into our homes is usually used for special occasions and visitors. We all know how to decorate those spaces, something formal, something snazzy, something impressive. But, what do we do for the “family” entrance. You know the entrance the whole family uses, the one that gets all the abuse, the muddy boots, the book bags, the groceries, the kids, the pets… yes, that entrance.

Rugs to My Door has some suggestions what to put on the floor to make this area as snazzy and impressive as the formal entry. You don’t need ideas for storage (you already have that) and you’ve turned the area into what is called the “mudroom” but why should this major entrance into the home not have a bit of “bling”?

While ceramic tile floors are very utilitarian in these types of rooms, an area rug is still an important addition. Something to help catch what is coming in and keeps it from tracking all over the place. A strategically placed area rug will not only enliven the space but also help you maintain the area.

Here are some examples of area rugs that I think would be a smart choice for the main entrance into your home. I’m sticking with either indoor/outdoor rugs or rugs that are easy to clean. Take a look and see if you get some ideas.

Take a look at the Veranda Collection from Momeni. There are plenty of options from traditional area rugs to contemporary area rugs and everything in between. Plus this collection is suitable for either indoors (i.e. your mudroom) our outdoors – which means these rugs are rugged and easy to care for.

How about our collection of Family Friendly area rugs from Oriental Weaver’s Sphinx division? Again, hundreds of options in pattern, color, and style all in produced in rugs that can withstand a family. They come with a ten year stain and soil warranty. This warranty and the durability of these area rugs make them a perfect choice for the main entry into your home.

Finally, there is Milliken’s collection of area rugs. They make all their rugs from 100% Stainmaster nylon. Carpet and rugs made from Stainmaster Nylon last up to 50% longer than other carpet and rugs and stay up to 30% cleaner. With numbers like this, can you afford not to check out these amazing area rugs?

Hopefully, today’s tips for your “mudroom” and rugs that can work in these high traffic, high abuse areas of your home. And as always if you need assistance finding the perfect area rug for any portion of your home, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line, I’ll put my years of experience at your disposal.
