Rugs for the Coat Area

Which rug is right for your coat area?

In the coat area, a rug faces heavier wear than almost anywhere else: outdoor shoes, moisture, winter grit. Flat, dense pieces are therefore ideal. A Kelim has no pile to trap dirt and is easy to shake out. A short-pile, tightly knotted rug made of virgin wool stays naturally stain-resistant for a long time thanks to its lanolin content.

What size is right?

Measure the open space in front of your coat area and leave a hand’s breadth of space around it to the wall, or ideally two. The front door must swing freely over the rug; if door clearance is low, a flat-weave is the better choice. In narrow entrance areas, a runner creates a calmer feel than a small, square rug; you can also find suitable pieces under Hallway Rugs.

Care in the entrance area

A doormat outside catches the worst dirt. Vacuum your rug regularly without a rotating brush and rotate it occasionally so it wears evenly. An anti-slip underlay keeps it in place on tiles or parquet. To see how a piece looks in your entrance beforehand, use the AR Rug Visualizer: open the product page on your smartphone and tap "View in your room".
