10 tips for cozy, welcoming flooring |

Starting with the first step through the front door, hallway carpet ideas are exactly what you need to make yourself and your guests feel at home. 

You’ll need to make a few practical considerations to your hallway flooring ideas to ensure your carpet ideas can keep up with your lifestyle and stay looking its best, but the aesthetic benefits include the chance to add color, texture and crucial visual interest to either the first part of your home anyone will see or the easily forgotten areas that connect your rooms. 

Hallway carpet ideas

From densely patterned runners to staircase carpets that will take your entrance hall to the next level, we’ve put together a selection of inspiring hallway carpet ideas, and asked the experts for their advice.  

1. Brighten narrow hallways with light carpets

When choosing a carpet to work among narrow hallway ideas, keep it light. ‘Light colors, texture and stripes are particularly effective in narrow hallways,’ says Jenna Kane, a member of the Product Development team at Kersaint Cobb . ‘Soft, pale colored flooring brightens up a small area, creates the illusion of space and gives a light, airy look.’

But you’ll need to be careful with them if you have a busy household. ‘Pale shades will show more visible signs of general soiling, discoloration in the heavily walked areas and stains that have proven difficult to remove,’ warns Jodie Hatton, Residential Design Manager at Brintons . ‘Darker colors will be more practical in hiding soiling and stains.’ 

2. Make small hallways feel bigger with stripes

As well as disguising dirt and adding pattern, striped carpets come with an added bonus that makes them ideal for small hallway ideas.  

‘Stripes add visual interest to the floor, and for those tight on space, it is worth remembering that linear stripes can help to enlarge the appearance of a room,’ says Kane. ‘This is especially effective in hallways as the stripe draws the eye along the design and thus appears to elongate the area.’ 

In this hallway, the diagonal stripes in tonal greys not only help this hallway feel longer, but wider too. 

3. Bring the outside in with natural textures

Cozy, inviting, and comfortable underfoot, using rugs as part of your hallway carpet ideas is an instant win for anyone looking to add a little softness to their home’s entrance, or keep a house’s corridors feeling well-loved. In this hallway, a naturally textured, seagrass-style carpet is used against the yellow ochre wall, and paired with rattan baskets among the entry table decor ideas.

In warmer months, you can even consider making this connection to the outdoors a little more literal. ‘By early summer, we put down the washed-out floral and pastel colors of our Andalucia range rugs, and even run them from the porch outside onto the terrace to give a sense of continuity in indoor and outdoor living,’ says Tasha Green, Director and Co-Founder of Weaver Green . ‘All our rugs, cushions and blankets are perfect for use outdoors in gardens and on terraces.’

4. Change up your hallway with a runner

If you don’t want to commit to a full carpet, adding a rug or hallway runner ideas will soften a hard floor. ‘Runners allow you to instantly update and change the feel of a hallway,’ says Green. ‘A statement runner can be the main design feature from which you complement other interior elements in your entrance.’ 

Along with hallway wallpaper ideas, runners make for a great way to add pattern and texture to the space. ‘For example, a simple herringbone helps to create a classic timeless look from which you can add vibrant or strong patterns and prints with other accessories,’ says Green.  

5. Balance dark carpets with lighter walls

When choosing a carpet, you should always keep your hallway paint ideas in mind too. 

‘The popularity of dark carpets is growing as not only are they ideal for high traffic areas as they conceal dirt and marks, but they also add character to a room,’ says Hatton. ‘Rooms with lots of natural light work best for dark flooring. When paired with light interiors dark flooring offers a dramatic contrast, whilst also making a room appear larger and brighter.’ 

‘Neutral tones in whites, greys, beige, and muted shades of all colors on your walls and furniture help balance the room and therefore make your interiors feel brighter.’ In this example, a stairwell filled with natural light and painted pale blue can easily hold the darker tones of the grey staircase runner. 

6. Add a pop of color to a neutral scheme

As well as adding texture to a hallway, a rug or carpet is also a great way to inject some color into a neutral scheme. In this white vaulted hallway leading to a largely white bedroom, the pale wood flooring of the corridor is given a flourish of characterful color with the use of a mustard yellow, geometrically patterned runner from Weaver Green. 

7. Stay versatile with a grey carpet

If you’re already onto the grey hallway ideas trend, then don’t forget to take it to the floor. ‘Grey is a versatile carpet shade, with the ability to provide a platform and set the scene,’ says Hatton. ‘For a dramatic look, pair grey with layers of dark, moody and mysterious shades like aubergine or midnight blue. For a fresh look, infuse the palette, with a lighter, softer shade that glows, like golden yellow or bright green.’

8. Highlight the staircase

Often, it’s not just the hallway floor you’re thinking about when it comes to carpet – if you’ve got a staircase in the mix, you’ll need to take your ideas to a whole new level. While a simple solution would be to extend the lower level carpet up the staircase, don’t be afraid to have a little fun. 

Contrast a hardwood floor with a bright carpet on the stairs like in this example, or introduce a change of tone or pattern to its carpeting to turn the staircase into a feature. 

Along with decorative hallway lighting ideas, it’s a great way to draw the eye upwards and emphasize height, making the area feel taller and ultimately more spacious. 

9. Change a rug seasonally to create a whole new look

One of the biggest benefits of choosing a runner or rug over carpet is flexibility – it can be there when you want it, or tucked away if you’re in the mood for a simpler aesthetic. Consider investing in multiple runners and swapping them in as the seasons change. 

‘We swap our rugs each season, moving from the rich reds of our kilim nomad range in the autumn, through to the light Scandinavian blues and gooseberry colors of our herringbone and Juno ranges in spring,’ says Green. In this room, a white rug with black dots works well to brighten the space during summer, but could easily be swapped in the winter for a rich, earthy alternative to bring out the terracotta walls and make the space feel cosier.

10. Choose a hardwearing material

Just like when you’re planning your hallway storage ideas, planning a carpet for the space needs some practical considerations too. 

‘Carpet is a fantastic option for high traffic areas like hallways and stairways, due to its ability to withstand natural wear and tear,’ says Hatton. ‘The type of carpet that is preferred is down to personal taste and the usage of that particular room but cut pile woven carpets are the most hardwearing.’ 

What is the best carpet for a hallway?

To pick the best carpet for your hallway, think about what it needs to do for you practically. As a high traffic area of the home, hardwearing materials like cut pile woven carpets will be able to endure frequent use. If you’re a household with kids or dogs, darker colors pr patterned carpets will hide the dirt dragged in from muddy walks, but you’ll also want to choose a carpet type that’s easy to clean. 

‘A wool blended carpet is a wonderful material for flooring as it has hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties, capturing the dust and taking it out of the air you breathe,’ says Lynne Pound, Product Manager at Brintons. ‘Wool is naturally flame retardant plus easy to clean and sustainable for the environment making it a quality choice with long lasting performance.’

How do I choose a hallway carpet?

When choosing a carpet for your hallway, you really need to think about the space as a whole. If your hallway is narrow or with little natural light, lighter color carpets will help keep the space feeling bright and open. For hallways with big windows that are a little lighter, darker colored carpets are becoming increasingly popular, adding drama to the space and more easily hiding any marks. If you’re keen to make a hallway feel either longer or wider, choose a striped carpet to create an optical illusion of length or width.

To choose a floor carpet for the hall, you need to decide what kind of atmosphere the owner wants to create in the room. The size of the living room does not play a special role, you can always choose the right option and arrange the room in the originally conceived form.

The right carpet will be the highlight of the interior of the hall in a city apartment or a country house

Features of floor carpets for the hall

Contents

The carpet in the hall is often used to create a cozy atmosphere, although it is no longer considered very fashionable. A more suitable option would be carpet flooring. It repeats all the possibilities for noise and thermal insulation. It can be carpet, marmoleum, etc.

A carpet with an original pattern will attract attention.

A rug in the living room has a slightly different specificity. Based on the fact that the hall is the main room in the house, it is advisable to choose a more durable carpet. The whole family gathers in the living room in the evenings, holidays, and the arrival of guests. It is better if the carpet is more durable than in other rooms.

According to the length of the pile, you can find out which carpet should be chosen for the hall. In the living room it is practical to pick up a small pile coating. The exception is the unique interior design.

When choosing such a coating, it will have to be carefully looked after. If the design assumes just such a carpet in the room, the owner of the apartment should be ready for very careful handling of it.

In all other cases, a carpet in a room with a medium or short pile is perfect.

Wear resistance can be judged by the underside of the product. The highest quality models are of a tight type of weaving. You need to turn the carpet inside out and make sure that it does not shine through.

The advantage of short-pile carpets is their ability to support the weight of furniture (sofas, tables, cabinets) without deformation. So, models with a short pile serve for a long time, do not lose their shape and original appearance.

Varieties of carpets

As part of the decor, the buyer chooses between two types of carpets: classic models and carpets. They may vary in shape and size.

The carpet can be used for zoning the living room. They are thinner than regular carpets. Using them in the living room is simply impractical. Thin fabric will quickly wear out, lose its original appearance and deteriorate.

Carpets

Such models are no longer fashionable, but rather outdated. They are produced in one single form of small format. Therefore, carpet paths are not suitable for use in every living room.

Carpets with long pile

Carpets with long pile are also rare. Most often they are used as a background for polished furniture to create a "counterweight" for the glossy finish.

Soft carpets with a long pile are more pleasant to the touch, so they are best laid where you like to walk barefoot

When choosing, you need to look not only at the quality and length of the pile, but also at the carpet structure.

And others

You can choose other carpets in the hall according to the photo. This will help you more clearly imagine how they will look in the interior of the house. For example, whether the chosen option will look beautiful in the nursery or is it better to use it for the modern design of a teenager's room.

  2. Loopback No. 1. Has fibers of the same length.
  3. Loopback No. 2. Consists of fibers of different lengths.
  4. Velor smooth.
  5. Friese. Twisted long pile.
  6. Cut-loop. Consists of uncut and cut loops.
Saxony Loop No. 1 Loop No. 2 Velor smooth frise cut loop

Velor carpets are not suitable for under furniture. These carpets have such a structure that even footprints are visible on them.

All coatings are not capricious and easy to care for. They can be used in high traffic areas.

Forms of carpets

The type of carpets can be any: depending on which configuration is more suitable for the interior. They can be oval, round or in the form of various figures.

Pattern and shape should look harmonious together. Originality does not hurt, but it is important not to overload the carpet with incompatible design elements.

Choosing the size of the carpet

The assortment in stores allows you to find the right option - from huge models to small island rugs.

If desired, a large carpet can completely cover the floor in the living room

A small artificial rug will serve as an element that unites the furniture into a composition group

Choose the size of the carpet according to the dimensions of the room. A small rug looks comical in spacious rooms. But in a small room, it will be very useful. You can use several small carpets in one room in impassable places. It will look cozy, and you won't have to spend a lot of time cleaning.

Materials for making carpets

Carpets on the floor in the hall can be natural or artificial. Each group has many textures and colors. Natural products are made from wool, cotton and silk.

Natural patterned carpets traditionally decorate classic living rooms

Carpet styles and colors

A suitable model should harmoniously fit into the style of the hall. This is not necessarily a classic option, original designer items can also look good.

There are several styles that carpets are suitable for creating:

Skins can be used in ethnic interiors, but only in exotic versions: zebra, leopard, lion.

The choice of carpet shade is best combined with the color of the floors. A light carpet can be placed on a dark floor for more comfort in the room. There are universal models that are appropriate in any setting. For example, a light beige carpet.

The color of the carpet should be combined with something in the living room.

The carpet should be chosen in the same color as the living room. This will help to adjust the room, make it visually longer. Or in a contrasting version to create an accent.

How to choose a carpet for the floor in the hall: studying the types and characteristics

Living room - a place to relax and receive guests. One of the simplest, but conceptual ways to create a cozy atmosphere here and diversify the interior is the use of floor textiles and carpets.

Since any living room is a walk-through area in an apartment, when choosing a carpet, it is important to pay attention to the performance and characteristics of the material. A properly selected carpet in the hall is safe to use and has good wear resistance.

It is possible to distinguish several types of carpets for the floor: directly carpet, carpet, carpet, carpet. Let's consider each.

Carpet

Carpet runners are narrower than other types of carpet. Such models are implemented in a cut, so it will not be difficult to choose a rug of a non-standard size.

From the functional advantages of carpet paths: high protection of the floor from dirt and mechanical damage, improved sound insulation of the room. At the same time, carpet paths complement the interior with original decor and make movement more comfortable.


Please note: the maximum width of the carpet is 1.5 m, therefore they are not used as the main floor covering. Such carpets are laid on top of laminate, parquet or linoleum to accentuate zones.


Carpet

Universal type of flooring. It is actively used for zoning the room: it divides the living room into a work and play area, as well as a relaxation area. With the help of a carpet, you can hide any defects in a wooden floor, enhance sound insulation, and insulate floors. Also, the pluses include the fact that the carpets in the interior of the living room protect the main floor from dirt, dust, damage when moving the furniture.

The method of manufacturing and the structure of classic carpets depends on the source material. The predominant part of the carpets is made by machine from three threads: the main, knot-forming and fastening knot. For carpets with a pattern, a fourth thread is used, which forms patterns and ornaments.



Palace

This is a thin roll cover. The palace does not have a pile - instead of it, miniature loops are distributed on the outer side of the carpet.

Palace to the hall - a less presentable type of coverage than a standard carpet, however, it is easy to clean and sold at affordable prices. Of the minuses of such a coating: lack of soundproofing properties, hard texture, rapid wear. Due to the inability to mask the defects of the floor, the palace is used only on flat surfaces.



Carpet

It is a rolled floor covering similar in its characteristics to a regular carpet. However, carpet and carpet have a number of significant differences:

According to its structure, carpets can be single-layer and double-layer. The basis of a single-layer carpet is a synthetic fabric of increased density, to which the pile is attached. To fix the villi on such a basis, a special latex layer is used.

Two-layer carpet has an additional latex layer that covers the place where the fibers are attached. This type of carpet has more pleasant tactile qualities, absorbs noise better and maintains an optimal temperature in the house.



Carpet material

How to choose the floor for the hall? We recommend considering options from different materials: both natural and artificial.

Natural carpets

Wool. Traditionally, wool carpets are made from sheep wool. This is a warm, durable and elastic material, which is distinguished by a long service life and high fire-fighting properties: when burning, such a carpet does not support the spread of fire. With proper care and timely cleaning, it can last up to 50 years.

Sheep wool fibers absorb coloring pigments less quickly, and then are produced in natural neutral, rather pastel tones. At the same time, unlike synthetic analogues, the pile almost does not fade and remains saturated after one or two decades.

The main disadvantage of wool carpet is rapid soiling. Such coatings are prone to mold and moths, so they require frequent cleaning. Newer models are initially impregnated with dirt-repellent, anti-moisture and anti-mold substances.



Silk Silk carpets are made from the finest fibers produced by caterpillars of the mulberry silkworm butterfly. The distinctive complexity of manufacturing such carpets adversely affects the cost of the product, however, the operational qualities of silk completely compensate for all means.

The high strength of silk allows you to place carpets in the most accessible places, and the unique appearance of the carpet gives the interior sophistication. Fine weaving allows you to work out even the most complex patterns in detail, so silk carpets are often made to order.


Important: silk carpets are not resistant to UV rays and harsh cleaning agents. It is necessary to protect the carpet from direct sunlight, and also carefully choose the means for cleaning and washing carpets.



Cotton The main advantages of cotton carpets are high thermal conductivity, the ability to absorb moisture and let air through. Cotton carpet does not require special care and is suitable for people who are allergic to natural wool or synthetics. In comparison with other types of floor coverings made of natural components, the cost of a cotton carpet is the most affordable.

There are also disadvantages: for example, a high tendency to fade and shrink and the need for regular professional dry cleaning.


An interesting fact: often cotton carpets are used to decorate a nursery. You can meet models of simple ones - rectangular, round, oval - and more bizarre shapes - stars, hearts, ships.



Jute. This is a raw material of vegetable origin. Eco-friendly carpets are made from jute, characterized by high strength, no slip, good ability to absorb moisture.

Most often, jute is used as a base for carpets made of wool, silk, cotton or viscose. There are also woven jute carpets, with the original light beige color and a pleasant pattern. Such coatings perform the function of a “humidity regulator”, taking excess moisture from the air and, if necessary, returning back.

Carpets made of jute are durable, but when in contact with water, they shrink. Another minus of jute carpets is a hard texture, which is not always easy to use.



Artificial coatings

Viscose. This is an artificial fiber, which is obtained by processing spruce and pine wood. This is a high-quality alternative to natural carpets, externally reminiscent of a silk coating.

Viscose carpets are characterized by durability, resistance to deformation, absence of an electrifying effect. In the process of use, these carpets are rarely wiped and slightly bend under the weight of the weight of the furniture. At the same time, they are easily dyed and retain their color for a long time, therefore they are found in colorful colors and bright prints.

The disadvantages of such carpets are also significant. The process of cleaning viscose is not easy and requires professional skills. In addition, viscose carpets are prone to fire: for safety reasons, we do not recommend laying viscose carpets near fireplaces and electric heaters.



Polyamide or nylon. This is a common synthetic material used to make modern carpets. Wear resistance, variability of colors and patterns, elasticity are just a few of the advantages of nylon carpets.

Nylon does not lose its shape and is resistant to mold and fungus, and washing such a carpet on its own will not be difficult. However, under the influence of the sun, nylon becomes brittle and hard, which can scratch the skin and become electrified. Therefore, it is better to lay such carpets away from windows and other bright light sources.



Polypropylene. Polypropylene carpets are undemanding in operation and maintenance. The technique of making such carpets allows you to create thin and smooth fibers that do not let dust and dirt through. For this reason, cleaning a polypropylene carpet will not cause any trouble - it is enough to vacuum the pile to update the appearance of the coating.

Polypropylene carpets are presented in a wide assortment, but at the same time they have an insignificant service life - only 4-5 years. After this time, they lose their luster and initial elasticity and wrinkle.



Acrylic or polyester. Externally, acrylic carpets resemble wool ones - they are produced in neutral tones and have a soft texture, durable and fire resistant. Such carpets do not deform under heavy weight, quickly dry after washing and are sold at an affordable price. At the same time, acrylic almost does not fade in the sun, and its only main drawback is considered to be high electricity.

The length and texture of the pile varies depending on the type of carpet and how it was made. So, for example, knitted carpets are created by knitting pile loops into the warp, and weaving carpets are made on looms.



Shape and size of carpet

According to the classification, according to the size of the carpets are divided into three categories:

Larger carpets are used to decorate the center of the room. However, too bright models can visually narrow the space, which, as a rule, is undesirable. Therefore, we recommend choosing large bark of one-color calm shades and with a neat pattern.

Rectangular rugs can fill the interior with smooth, elegant lines with geometry. And for strict and elegant styles, such as classic, provence and ap-deco, decorating the floor with oval carpets is suitable.

If you are considering options for how to place a carpet in the interior of the living room, the photo will become your main reference. Having studied the layout of the carpets in the finished projects, you can approximately see the dimensions of the carpet in relation to your furniture and visually assess how the accessory fits into the interior.

  • Carpet must match the general style of the room.

    • Historical classic

    If you still have no idea which carpet to choose for the living room, refer to the main trends of recent years. Leading designers refer to the use of art carpets in the interior of apartments, stylized in the spirit of artists of the past century: P. Picasso, K. Malevich, G. Klimt and others.

    For classic interiors, it is optimal to use carpets with floral patterns that copy famous French ornaments.



    How to properly lay a carpet in the living room

    The location of the carpet in the hall can be any. It depends on the expected effect, the placement of furniture and the shape of the room. In apartments, as a rule, living rooms are not very large, therefore, a universal solution for placing a carpet, carpet or carpet is the center of the room.
