How big should a foyer rug be?

1 Answer
How big should a foyer rug be?

Designers recommend, in general, that there be 18 to 24 inches of bare floor on all sides of a rug. In a small room like a foyer, however, you can get away with a little less. Just make sure that the rug doesn’t bump up against any furniture.
