What to Do About Entryway Floors
Whether you’re buying a house for sale in Belleair Beach, a condo in Brandon, or a golf course home in Odessa, your entryway needs to look its best—and that includes the floors.
So what can you do to improve the first impression guests get when they step through your front door?
Start with the floors.
Entryway Floors: To Rug, or Not to Rug
In an entryway, it’s important to set furniture off a rug if you choose to have one. Doing otherwise could make it feel cramped and crowded.
If you want a big rug that takes up most of the floor space, keep in mind that it will make your entryway feel more like a room, not an entrance; if that’s not what you want, a runner with a border is good.
Finding the Right Rug
You’ll need a rug that’s durable and sturdy, because the entryway is one of the most-trafficked areas in your home. It needs to be flat enough that the door can open over it, too.
Painting Your Floor Instead
It’s not easy to pull off a painted floor, but if you choose to do it, you can stencil a pattern or stripes in place to add some style.
