8 x 10 size area rugs are one of the sizes that are included in the more general category of room size rugs. In a smaller apartment, this somewhat standard area rug size can take up a substantial portion of the floor space. In a living room with minimalist furniture, it is possible to place all of the legs of the furniture on the rug to create a warm and cozy space. In a living room space that is larger and that uses bigger furniture, you have the option of placing this 8′ x 10′ size rug in the center of the space or placing one set of legs on the furniture. This will create the appearance of a larger space if you choose this option.
This size rug is a popular size in a traditional room setting as the foundation for two wingback chairs with a table in the middle. In older homes, country farmhouses, and historical homes, this is a popular furniture placement that uses this size rug. If you have a large kitchen, this rug can be used to define a space for a kitchen table. If you have recently needed to dedicate a portion of a larger room to a home office, this rug size can be perfect for defining the space, or for creating a more intimate area in an open plan architectural design.
In the dining room, this rug size can accommodate an eight person dining set with the dining table centered over the rug. When choosing an 8 foot x 10 foot size rug for your room, it is important to consider the scale and dimensions of the room. It will look best in a room that is scaled to the same proportions as the rug.
Placing 8 feet by 10 feet size rugs in a longer room will tend to make the room appear shorter. It is a good idea to make sure that all of the legs of the dining chairs fit on the rug with the guests seated. Otherwise, and 8×10 rug can make the chairs feel unstable. If this is not possible with your style of dining room furniture, then you might be better off scaling up in rug size.
In the master bedroom, this rug should be large enough to fit your bed and both nightstands on the rug when it is placed perpendicular to the bed. It is large enough to accommodate a queen or king-size bed. However, if you have a small apartment, you will probably find this size rug to be too big for the room. You can also choose to place the rug in the room so that it is perpendicular to the bed with only the end legs of the bed on the rug. Using an 8′ x 10′ size rug in this way will allow you to create your desired amount of space between the end of the rug and the wall. This will also give you away to create the appearance of more open space in the room to give you a cozier feel.
If you ask most interior decorators, they will say that ,as a rule of thumb, you should always maintain at least 6″ inches to 18″ inches of bare floor around the rug to create a frame or pathway in the space.
An 8 x 10 area rug gives you many options for creating a space that is more intimate, or for making the room look more expansive. Regardless of how you use it, finding the perfect rug pattern and color is essential. A rug of this size will create a large visual surface that will set the tone for the room.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Loved my runner rug purchase from Nazmiyal. Love the ability to purchase, try and return if it didn't work out! I had it shipped to California and everything worked out beautifully!

NAZMIYAL is the best source for antique and vintage rugs and carpets. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, Jason himself is an amazing dealer who handpicks each and every piece in his stunning collection and is happy to educate the consumer, not just make a sale. I always trust his experience and great eye for all my spaces!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nazmiyal. I was very impressed by their selection, the quality of their beautiful carpets, and their extremely reasonable prices. Really I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone at the gallery was - especially Omri, work with him if you can! - and how happy I am with my new antique rug. Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
