What is the proper size for an entryway rug?
My home has stone tiles when open the front door to come inside. On either side of the entry hall is two rooms. One is the formal dining and the other is the office. Both of those rooms have the same color carpet. 20 feet from the front door and straight ahead in the entry hall, is more carpet, same color, but I have a runner on that, since it leads to the living area. I want to know the proper size for an entry rug- also what about color, can I leave it a neutral color like the office and formal dining carpet? The runner has dark blue, cream, and burgandy in it. Thank you.

Just remember that the rug should be long running in the direction towards the room at the end of the entry. It need not be too wide-I think that 28-30" is pretty much standard.
