What Size Rug for a Entryway? The Rule That Actually Works

The entryway is the room people most often buy one size too small for. Here is the rule, and why it exists.

The size

60 × 100 cm or 80 × 150 cm, sized to the door swing.

Why that rule exists

The entry rug is a filter. Its job is to take the grit off shoes before it reaches everything else — and grit at the base of the pile is what actually wears rugs out.

The thing to watch

Darker grounds and busier patterns are the practical choice here. Check the door clears the pile before you order.

Why washable matters here

Doormats and small rugs that trap the mess. Every rug we make washes at 30°C in a domestic machine, grips a hard floor without an underlay, and contains no latex, glue or rubber crumb. In a entryway that is the difference between a rug you protect and a rug you use.
