An 8 by 10 is the size most rooms actually want. In a living room between roughly 12 by 14 and 14 by 16 feet, it puts the front legs of the sofa and both chairs on the rug and still leaves the 18 to 24 inches of bare floor around the edge that keeps a room from feeling upholstered.
In a bedroom it runs under a queen bed with enough margin on both sides and at the foot that your feet land on wool. In a dining room it holds a table seating six with the 24 inches of clearance chairs need when pushed back.
It is our most requested size, and most of our collections are designed to work at this scale.
Every rug is made just for us from pure New Zealand wool and ships in 8 to 10 weeks. We encourage you to order a sample square first if you want to see the color and hand in your own light. Returned sample squares will gladly be credited against your future purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size room fits an 8x10 rug?
Roughly 12 by 14 up to 14 by 16 feet. That leaves the 18 to 24 inches of exposed floor around the rug that makes a room feel finished rather than carpeted.
Does an 8x10 rug work under a queen bed?
Yes. Run it under the lower two thirds of the bed and you will have roughly 18 to 24 inches of rug on each side and at the foot. For a king bed, go to a 9 by 12.
Will an 8x10 fit a dining table?
It suits a table seating six, around 36 by 72 inches. The rug needs to extend at least 24 inches past the table on all sides so chairs stay on it when pulled out.
