Using a 10x12 Rug

Using a 10x12 rug is easy as long as you have the room for one. A rug like this would work well in a space that's at least 14x16, ensuring 24 inches between the edges of the rug and the walls. This prevents the area from appearing cramped or chaotic.

Measure your space carefully to be sure you can accommodate 10x12 area rugs. If you don’t have enough room, you’ll want to look at smaller rug dimensions.

Below, we'll highlight a few of the many options for decorating with a 10x12 rug for those who'd like inspiration:

Patio or Entryway

If you’re decorating an exposed patio or protecting the floors on a busy entryway, a 10x12 outdoor rug will be durable enough to stand up to the elements. Look for something that's UV treated if the rug will be exposed to sunlight to make sure it's protected against fading.

A 10x12 jute rug is another option for an indoor entryway. Jute rugs are made from long plant fibers and aren’t ideal to use outdoors unless otherwise noted in the listing.

Bedroom

A 10x12 shag rug or a 10x12 wool rug would work well in a bedroom setting. Both shag and wool piles are delicate and require low-traffic zones protected from elevated levels of moisture, soil, humidity, and shoe traffic.

Living Room

Try using a 10x12 braided rug or a 10x12 Persian rug in the living room. Braided rugs resist ground-in dirt because of how they're made. And you can find Persian rugs made from a wide range of materials to suit the activity level of your home.

What’s Next?

Searching for your favorite 10x12 area rugs is an exciting process. But we know it can be hard to pick between so many beautiful rug designs. To help narrow it down and make sure you get the best rug for you, check out the tips below:

• Consider Durability: Research the best materials for the room you’re furnishing based on activity level and exposure to soil, moisture, UV rays, and shoe traffic. Pick a rug made from a material that you can keep clean. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your rug is if it isn’t durable enough for the space.
• Get a Rug Pad: Rug pads can be placed under your rug to prevent surface damage to both the pile and backing. Using a pad can add many years to the life of your new 10x12 rug. We advise all buyers to add a rug pad to their cart before checkout.
