Washable 8' x 10' Rugs

Styling an 8x10 rug is a great way to elevate the look and feel of any room. Here are a few tips for creating a cohesive, stylish layout that complements your space and brings out the beauty of your rug:

• Center the Rug in the Room: For best results, position the 8x10 rug in the center of the room, ensuring there’s an even amount of floor space visible around the edges. A good rule of thumb is to leave 8 to 24 inches of floor exposed on all sides. This allows the rug to stand out without overpowering the room.

• Living Room: In an open-plan living room or family room, the 8x10 rug works wonderfully as a focal point. To create a balanced look, leave 12 to 18 inches of floor space around the rug. Place all furniture pieces on top of the rug to anchor the space, or at least place the front legs of larger furniture like sofas and armchairs on the rug. This helps create a cohesive, unified space that feels both elegant and comfortable.

• Bedroom: In the bedroom, an 8x10 rug works best when placed under the bed and nightstands. Ensure the rug extends 2 feet or more from the sides and foot of the bed to create a cozy, warm feel when you step out of bed. This setup also gives the room a well-defined, inviting atmosphere.

• Dining Room: In a dining room, the 8x10 rug is perfect for placing underneath a dining table. Leave at least 30 inches of space on all sides for chairs to be easily moved in and out without sliding off the rug. This adds sophistication and a polished look to your dining area.

• Mixing Styles: The beauty of the 8x10 rug lies in its versatility. Whether you have a modern, bohemian, traditional, or contemporary décor, the 8x10 rug can complement various styles. For example, pair a soft, neutral rug with minimalist, modern furniture for a clean, contemporary look. If you’re going for a more eclectic or boho vibe, choose a rug with vibrant colors and patterns to add warmth and texture to the space. For traditional interiors, a classic design with muted tones will blend seamlessly with classic wood furniture and elegant accents.

Yes, our 8x10 washable rugs are designed to fit in most large-capacity washing machines. For best results, we recommend washing the rug in a commercial-sized washer, ensuring it fits comfortably. Follow care instructions for proper maintenance to keep your rug looking great.

Cleaning your Lahome 8x10 washable rug is easy and convenient. For most large-capacity washing machines, you can machine wash your rug on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Make sure your washing machine is large enough to accommodate the rug comfortably — typically, you'll need a commercial-sized washer. If your home washer is too small, we recommend taking your rug to a laundromat with larger machines.

For stubborn stains, spot clean with a soft brush or cloth before washing to help lift the dirt. After washing, you can either dry the rug flat or tumble dry on low heat to maintain its softness and texture. Keep in mind, for larger rugs like 8x10s, it’s often best to focus on partial cleaning (spot cleaning and smaller sections) to avoid overloading the machine and ensure a more thorough clean. With its easy maintenance, your rug will stay fresh, pet-friendly, and stylish for years, making it perfect for busy households.

An 8x10 rug is ideal for medium to large-sized rooms. In terms of room dimensions, it works best in rooms that are at least 12x12 feet or larger. It’s perfect for defining spaces within open-plan layouts, such as living rooms, dining rooms, or family rooms, creating a warm and stylish focal point in the center of the room.

When placing the rug, be sure to leave 8 to 24 inches of visible floor space around the perimeter of the rug. This border of floor space helps highlight the beauty of the rug and makes the room feel balanced and harmonious. In larger rooms, you can afford to leave more space between the rug and the walls (up to 24 inches), which gives the room a more expansive and airy feel. In smaller rooms (around 12x12 feet), aim for around 12 to 18 inches of visible floor space for a cozy yet proportionate look.

For bedrooms, the rug can comfortably fit under a queen or king-size bed, leaving enough space around it to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Make sure the rug extends at least 18 inches to 2 feet beyond the sides and foot of the bed for a balanced and elegant layout.

An 8x10 rug is a great choice for larger beds, including full, queen, king, and California king sizes. When placed under the bed, the rug should extend around the bed’s sides and foot, providing a warm, soft area to step onto as you get out of bed. This layout also gives the room a cozy, inviting feel, while keeping the rug proportionate to the size of the bed.

For full and queen-size beds, the rug will usually cover most of the floor area under the bed, leaving at least 18 to 24 inches of visible rug on all sides. For a king or California king-size bed, the rug can extend further under the bed, leaving 2 to 3 feet of visible rug at the sides and foot of the bed for a balanced and luxurious feel.

As for room size, an 8x10 rug works best in medium to large-sized bedrooms. For smaller rooms, this rug size may feel too large, so ensure that the room is spacious enough to accommodate the rug without overwhelming the space. A 12x12 foot or larger bedroom will allow the 8x10 rug to fit beautifully, creating a well-defined, stylish area around the bed while keeping the room open and airy.

An 8x10 rug is not too big for most spaces, but the size can feel overwhelming in smaller rooms. In a large living room, dining area, or master bedroom, it provides ample coverage, helping to anchor the furniture and create a cozy atmosphere. Consider the room's layout and size before deciding if an 8x10 is the right fit.
