Checkered patterns just never seem to go out of style, so if you want to grab a rug you won’t have to change with the seasons, this could be a great idea. There are three different color choices for this rug — stone, green, and black — which would all look great as modern home decor. If you’re putting this right by your door, be sure to go for the flatwoven cover.

I cannot be-leaf how cute this is. With a leafy print and green and white color, this looks effortlessly beautiful and boho. The fabric will feel cool in summer and warm in winter, so you can take your shoes off and get comfy instantly. Match it up with indoor plants on your console table for an extra green finish.

I’m literally obsessed with everything The Home Edit does, and its Ruggable range is no exception. This would add vibrancy to any entryway, with a host of beautiful rainbow colors that the brand is known for. I know that this is a li’l bit of a splurge, but it is gorgeous and washable. That’s the dream rug combo, in my opinion.

If quiet luxury is your thing, this oval rug also might be your thing. It’s simple yet stylish, with a blue and gray braided pattern that gives it a pretty texture. It’s worth noting that this is spot clean only, so it’s probably not a great idea to have this right next to your door. Lay it on a darker floorboard or carpet for a chic contrast.

This entryway rug is woven with gorgeous oranges and yellows, that make it look really warm and welcoming. It is super Scandi but easy and breezy enough to work with other styles, too. I like the fact that it’s pet-friendly and that it’s reversible — aka, you can turn it over if your pup gets muddy paws on it.

I love having choices, and if you're the same, you're going to love this rug. There are 13 color options, so you can pick whichever one matches your entryway’s decor best. It’s made from faux fur, so it can be cleaned with a damp cloth, or even machine-washed on a gentle setting if necessary. As well as this it has over 2,000 five-star Amazon ratings, so it comes highly recommended.

You just can’t go wrong with a dreamy color palette like this one. The mixture of blue, beige, and gray tones are giving me all the coastal grandmother vibes. This does come in lots of different sizes, in case you have a slightly bigger entryway space or want to grab one for a different room.

This rug is spill and stain-resistant, so despite having a white base color, you won’t have to worry too much about getting it messy. It’s also low pile, meaning you won't have to wade through voluminous strands of fabric if you do get something on it. There is a runner rug version of it as well, which is ideal if you only have a narrow space.

Made from: Wool

Let’s face it: There’s nothing more relaxing than sinking your toes into a soft rug after a long day out. This rug is made from 100% wool, so you'll get that feeling 10 times over. It also creates the illusion of length as the pattern stretches out, which is useful if you want your entryway to appear bigger.
