Welcome Area Rugs

Why A Welcome Rug?

Shopping for welcome area rugs comes with a surprising number of choices. With styles ranging from country to modern with everything in between, you're sure to find what you're looking for in our wide selection.

The entryway is the first impression you'll make on visiting guests, so picking a beautiful welcome rug is an easy way to make your home look well decorated. Welcome area rugs also protect your floors from outside moisture, soil, and messes, which is a must for keeping a tidy home.

For those who aren't sure what sort of welcome rug they'd like, we've highlighted some of your options below to help:

• An indoor/outdoor welcome mat rug will protect your floors and stand up to weather and cleaning better than indoor-only materials. These are usually good for the interior space to catch dirt at any front, back, or side doors on your home.
• You'll find beautiful outdoor welcome rugs that are made to withstand the weather while still protecting your home. Pick something that shows off your home's character and decor to set the right mood for the rest of your space.
• Indoor-only welcome door mats are not made to withstand outdoor weather and are best kept at low-traffic doors in your home. If you want to use an indoor-only option at your busiest door, make sure you have a sturdy outdoor one to wipe your feet on!

A Closer Look At Welcome Area Rugs

Choosing welcome entry rugs for your home is one of the most fun parts of decorating. You'll find lively designs suited to anyone's hobbies and personality. Whether you want something bright and vibrant or toned down and practical, there's a rug for that. You'll even see abstract art, animals, and (of course) witty sayings adorning many front doors.

As we mentioned earlier, the welcome rug helps you make your first impression on guests. It also sets the tone for how you'll feel when you come home. Give it careful thought and pick something that reflects how you want the rest of your home to feel.

Remember, a clean rug protects your home better than a dirty one. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to learn how to maintain your rug.
