8x10 Rugs

8×10 rugs for living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms

An 8×10 rug is 8 feet by 10 feet, or 96 by 120 inches, and it is the size most US living rooms start with. Laid in front of a standard sofa, an 8×10 lets the front legs of the sofa and one or two chairs rest on the rug with the coffee table in the middle. The same size fits sideways under a queen bed and under many four- to six-seat dining tables.

Every rug in this collection is listed as an 8×10. You will find washable polyester rugs, indoor-outdoor rugs, power-loomed designs, hand-tufted and hand-knotted wool, and natural jute rugs. Some pieces sold as 8×10 measure a few inches smaller or larger, for example 7 feet 9 inches by 9 feet 9 inches, so compare the listed dimensions on each product page before you tape out the floor.

Not sure 8×10 is right? Our rug size guide compares 5×8, 6×9, 8×10, 9×12 and 10×14, and what size rug for a living room walks through front-legs-on and all-legs-on layouts. If you have a sectional or a room larger than about 11 by 14 feet, look at 9×12 and 10×14 pieces in living room rugs. For a bedroom, see the bedroom rug guide.

• Room about 10 by 12 feet or larger: an 8×10 usually leaves a comfortable border of floor.

• Add a rug pad about an inch smaller than the rug on each side for grip on hard floors.

Frequently asked questions

How big is an 8×10 rug?

An 8×10 rug is 8 feet wide and 10 feet long: 96 by 120 inches, or 80 square feet (about 244 by 305 cm). Some rugs sold as 8×10 are a few inches smaller, so check the listed dimensions.

What size room is an 8×10 rug good for?

An 8×10 usually suits rooms about 10 by 12 feet and larger, leaving roughly 12 to 18 inches of floor between the rug and the walls. In a smaller room a 6×9 or 5×8 is often a better fit.

Will an 8×10 rug fit under a queen bed?

Yes. Placed sideways under a queen bed, an 8×10 runs out on both sides of the bed. For a king bed a 9×12 gives a similar border, though an 8×10 can also work.

Is an 8×10 rug big enough for a dining table?

For many tables that seat four to six, yes. A dining rug should extend about 24 inches past the table on every side so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. Our dining table rug guide has a chart.
