Cutting A Rug: Finding The Best Rug For Your Mudroom This Winter

Reasons You Should Have Custom Cut Rugs ASAP
December 26, 2018
Winter is fully upon us. While 48% of homeowners planned to decorate their homes in 2018, there are many of us that need that decor to be practical as well. Nothing beats the dynamic duo of beauty and practicality.
Area rugs are perfect examples of that dynamic duo and as winter winds get stronger and snows get deeper, you’ll wish you had some draped around your house. Whether you’re thinking of custom rugs, outdoor rugs, or those braided rugs your aunt was so fond of, winter calls for a few places that rugs are extremely convenient.
The Garage
The perfect place to have an outdoor rug is the entrance from your garage to your home. Tramping snowy, slushy, salty boots into your house isn’t ideal. Having a place to remove those boots outdoors without having to tread on the bare garage floor will save your entrance way. Of course, having a rug there will also help deter the risk of slipping from a wet or frozen garage floor surface.
The Foyer
Tis’ the season for entertaining, so set up your entryway as such. Wherever people enter your house the most should have a sturdy, spacious rug in the entrance. Shoes come off and are left there, saving that entryway from becoming a slippery, muddy, disaster zone as a first impression. Make sure the rug is big enough to let people inside so they aren’t standing in the doorway trying to get their boots off on a rug that’s too small.
The Pet Entrance
Our furry friends still need to go outside to do their business in the winter. While the summer doesn’t cause us much need to wipe paws, the winter is a whole different animal. Wherever your pet exits and enters your home after they finish their business should have an area rug. This way your excited doggo won’t be trouncing around dirty paw prints while you struggle to wipe those wet paws off.
You know how people and pets are entering and exiting your home this winter. Put some area rugs in the appropriate places and you’ll find yourself doing a whole lot less floor cleaning than you would’ve without them.
