8x10 Oval Rugs

Oval Rugs 8x10

Did you know that oval rugs in size can make a room feel larger? Any rounded rug can create the illusion of more space, all while bringing playful creativity to the room.

Why 8x10 Oval Area Rugs?

When interior decorators use 8x10 oval area rugs, they're usually aiming for two things: the illusion of space and the softness of rounded edges. Oval rugs serve the same purpose as rectangular rugs in how they provide coverage, but the rounding of the shape takes some of the traditional lines out.

Oval rugs (8x10) are prevalent in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, large kitchens, and even outdoor spaces like patios. For outdoor spaces, you'll, of course, need an indoor/outdoor textile.

The following ideas are just some of the many ways that an interior decorator might use large to medium oval area rugs:

• Oval braided rugs used in multiple rooms in the house with similar colors, tying the decor together and adding a touch of playfulness to each room.
• 6x8 oval rugs in smaller kitchens, protecting and padding the floor while adding a splash of color that makes the room more inviting.
• 5x8 oval braided rugs in entryways and mudrooms, creating an elegant first impression while protecting a high-traffic zone from excess dirt and moisture.

With more than a thousand options to choose from, you're sure to find the right oval rugs 8x10 for your home.

A Closer Look At Oval Rugs 8x10

Oval rugs are popular in homes around the world for their versatility. While not quite as widely used as rectangular rugs, oval rugs stand out and draw the eye. With their ample, sweeping curves, the playful air can also come across as luxurious or elegant.

Oval and circular rugs are associated with:

• Coziness
• Whimsy
• Playfulness
• Softness
• Elegance
• Conversation
• Warmth
• Fun

The pattern, of course, will adjust the mood of the rug accordingly. For example, a burnt orange Surya rug will give your room a much different feel than a brown and blue Safavieh rug.

Is An Oval Rug Right For Me?

If you like the oval shape and want to experiment with how it can make your rooms appear larger, you'll find a rug that works for your home. With styles ranging from vintage to contemporary, and everything in between, there's something for everyone.

The most important thing to double-check is the size. An 8x10 rug is suitable for a 10x12 room. If your room is much smaller than 10x12, consider going a size down on your rug to make sure there's enough space between the edges and the walls. A rug that's too large will make a room seem cramped and poorly designed instead of spacious and inviting.

The following tips will help you further refine your search:

• Examine your existing color palette and decide on a color of rug that'll work best for your home.
• Pick a material and thickness suited to your home and lifestyle. Thicker, more delicate rugs are best in low-traffic zones that don't see a lot of soil.
• Look for a rug that matches your home's existing style and then compare the ones that stand out to you before making your purchase.
