You can say it is a joke; I really need some rugs for my hallway. My husband also considers that it is just a waste of cost. But, this housewife’s mind always considers on safety, cleanliness and hygiene at home. The hallway, which looks like spaces in hotel corridors or alleys, is not big enough; yet it is pretty long. There are 3 rooms on each side so you could imagine the length at my standard size house. 4 rooms are our bedrooms; another room is functioned as for study and the other one is a room for my husband to work when he carries his jobs home. Hence, of course there are always many activities and all of us apparently pass by the hallway all the time.
The hallway is located exactly in the center of the house; meanwhile on both edges (one edge to family and the other to living room) there are rugs covering neatly on the floor. And that is the point! The floor on the hallway is always dirty and I could hardly sweep it toward any of the edges; cleaning up the floor with some dusts and shoe prints or other dirty marks on the floor just make it nastier and even much dirtier. This is the reason why I am in need of applying rugs there.
Actually, at first I would take all of the area rugs on the family, living and guest rooms and put them all together in the hallway. But after thinking several times, it is a better idea to get some new ones. The beautiful arrangements of the rug allocation on each room have nothing to disturb. I will then get more confused when all floors in the house are in mess. This is another point of view that I have to talk to my husband.
For my relief, my husband agrees with me and he will find some at the soonest. I just suggest him to get standard or just cheap rugs as it will only be used for family necessity. The rugs in need are just to cover the whole floor on the hallway. I don’t think the rugs would be in use for a long time because it will be easily dirty. But the most important thing is that I don’t have to sweep and mop the bare floor just for few minutes.
