8x10 Rugs

8×10 rugs in Sacramento — the most-asked-for size in American homes, with a full range of related sizes (6×10, 8×11, 9×12, 10×13) carried in the same patterns. An 8×10 (approximately 250×350 cm) anchors a living room with all four furniture legs on the rug, defines an open-plan dining area beneath a 60–72" table, or grounds a queen-size bed with 18" of rug visible on each side. Need slightly more or less? Almost every design below ships in the adjacent sizes too — pick the design, then size to your room.

Why 8×10 is the right starting point for most rooms

If you're choosing one rug for the main room of your home, an 8×10 is almost always the answer. It's the size designers default to because it works in roughly 70% of American living rooms (12×14 to 16×18 feet). The classic placement: front legs of the sofa, both chairs, and the coffee table all sit on the rug — pulling the seating arrangement into a single composition rather than letting furniture float on bare floor.

Sizes carried in this collection (most patterns available in all six)

• 6×10 / 6.5×10 (200×300 cm) — the apartment-living standard. Right for 11×13 ft to 13×15 ft rooms. Pulls the sofa onto the rug without overwhelming a smaller space.
• 8×10 / 8.2×11.5 (250×350 cm) — the American default. Best for 12×14 to 16×18 ft living rooms. Anchors a sofa-and-two-chairs arrangement.
• 9×12 / 10×12 (300×400 cm, runs as 9×12 in the US convention) — for 14×17 ft rooms or larger. Fits 72×42" dining tables with 24" chair clearance.
• 10×13 (300×400 cm) and oversized — for great rooms, open-plan main floors, and 16×20+ ft spaces. The size most designers reach for in modern Folsom Ranch and Lake Tahoe second-home builds.
• 3×6.5 / 3×10 / 3×13 runners — coordinating runners for hallways, kitchens, and entryways that match the main rug's design.

Pick the rug, then size to your room

Every pattern in our 1.5M-Point and 2M-Point series is woven in the full six-size range above. That means you can pair an 8×10 in the living room with a coordinating 3×13 runner in the hallway and a 2×3 in the entry — all the same design, all the same color family. For households that prefer matched sets across rooms, this is the play. For the full sizing logic — sofa-on vs sofa-off layouts, 8×10 vs 9×12 by room footprint, and dining clearance — see our complete rug sizing guide.

Quick size-matching guide

• Living room sofa-and-loveseat: 6×10 if the sofa is 84", 8×10 if 90"+. Both legs of each piece should land on the rug.
• Dining table (round 60"): 8×10 minimum. 9×12 or 10×12 for a 72" round.
• Dining table (rectangular 72×42"): 9×12 / 10×12 lets chairs slide back without falling off.
• Queen bed: 8×10 placed sideways under the bed gives 18" of rug on each side and at the foot.
• King bed or great-room: 10×13 or 10×14 (showroom). The bed sits centered with 24"+ of rug visible.
• Open-concept great room: 10×13 or larger to define the seating zone without the rest of the room reading as bare.

What "8×10" actually means in our catalog

Our 8×10 rugs are crafted to the metric standard 250×350 cm (8.2×11.5 ft) — a touch larger than the rounded "8×10" American convention. This is the most common Persian and Turkish rug size worldwide, with the proportions calibrated to traditional medallion-and-border compositions. You get more rug for your money than the nominal "8×10," and the design has room to breathe.

Looking for a precise 8×11? Our 8.2×11.5 ft variant is the closest off-the-shelf match — a nominal "8×11" with 6 extra inches of length, ideal for slightly elongated living rooms or dining areas with a longer table run.

How to choose your rug (any size)

For high-traffic living rooms: our 1,200-reed Persian and Turkish designs offer the best durability-to-price ratio. Microfiber-and-jute construction holds up to daily use, vacuuming, and family life.

For formal or designer interiors: the 1.5M and 2M Point Series carries finer detail, deeper pile, and richer color saturation — closer in feel to hand-knotted construction, at a fraction of the cost. Available in all sizes from 2×3 through 10×13.

For oversized rooms (10×12 / 10×13): the 2M Point series tends to read better at scale — the higher knot density carries pattern detail across a larger field without the design feeling sparse or repetitive.

Color guidance: deep reds and navies hide wear and pet hair better than cream or pastels. Cream-ground rugs photograph beautifully but require more maintenance in homes with kids or pets. Gray and navy are the easiest "designer-neutral" choices.

FAQ: 8×10 and related sizes

What size table fits on an 8×10 rug? A 60" round or 72×42" rectangular dining table fits comfortably on an 8×10, leaving roughly 24 inches of rug past the chair backs — enough for chairs to slide back without falling off the rug. For larger tables (72" round or 84×48" rectangular), step up to a 9×12 or 10×13.

Is an 8×10 too big for a small living room? If your room is 11×13 ft or smaller, consider a 6×10 / 6.5×10 (200×300 cm) instead. The general rule: leave 12–18 inches of bare floor visible on all sides of the rug.

What's the difference between 8×10 and 9×12? A 9×12 (300×400 cm) is 24% larger in surface area than an 8×10. For dining rooms with a rectangular table or living rooms where the rug needs to extend further past the front legs of the chairs, 9×12 is the right call. For most US living rooms, 8×10 is the safer default.

Do you carry 10×12 and 10×13 rugs? Yes — most of our 1,200-reed, 1.5M Point, and 2M Point Persian designs are woven in 10×13 (300×400 cm). This is the size designers specify for great rooms, open-plan main floors, and second-home builds in Lake Tahoe, Napa, and the Bay Area.

How much does an 8×10 Persian rug cost? Our 1,200-reed Persian-design 8×10 rugs start at $399.99. 1.5M Point Series 8×10 rugs are $349–$520. 2M Point luxury 8×10 rugs $449–$620. The same designs in 10×13 are typically $200–$300 more. Hand-knotted antique and vintage 8×10 pieces (showroom only) range from $2,500 to $25,000+ depending on age, origin, and condition.

Do you have hand-knotted 8×10 and 10×13 rugs? Yes — our Sacramento showroom carries hand-knotted Persian, Turkish, and Afghan rugs in 8×10, 9×12, 10×13, and oversized formats in our by-appointment private viewing room. Contact us to schedule a viewing.
