An 8×10 rug is the most common area rug size for a reason — it fits the standard American living room, accommodates most dining room configurations for six to eight, and works under a king bed. At Lulu and Georgia, the 8×10 rug collection brings together wool, jute, flatweave, hand-knotted, and performance rugs in this size across the full range of constructions, patterns, and price points that the collection offers — the size where the selection is largest and the options most complete.
What rooms does an 8x10 rug work in?
An 8×10 rug is the standard for a living room with a sofa in the 90-96 inch range and a typical seating arrangement, a dining room with a table seating six to eight (48-72 inch table with chairs), a primary bedroom with a king or California king bed where the rug extends 18-24 inches beyond three sides of the bed, and an open-plan living/dining area where the rug defines the seating zone. For rooms smaller than 12×15 feet, an 8×10 may feel large but is often still the right choice for anchoring the furniture.
How should an 8x10 rug be placed in a living room?
The front legs of the sofa and the two chairs should rest on the rug — this is the standard that makes a rug feel intentionally sized rather than too small. In a living room, position the 8×10 so it centers on the seating arrangement with approximately 18-24 inches of bare floor visible between the rug edge and the wall on each side. If the room is narrow, centering the rug width-wise and allowing it to run nearly wall to wall is appropriate. All legs on the rug is the ideal; front legs only is acceptable; no legs is the configuration to avoid.
What constructions are available in 8x10 rugs at Lulu and Georgia?
The 8×10 collection is the broadest in the assortment — it spans hand-knotted wool rugs, hand-tufted and loomed wool and wool-blend rugs, jute and natural fiber flatweaves, performance polypropylene rugs, indoor/outdoor rugs, vintage and overdyed styles, and Moroccan and tribal patterns. The widest range of price points is also represented at this size, from accessible machine-made rugs to investment-grade hand-knotted pieces.
