Using an 8x12 Rug

Using an 8x12 rug isn't hard if you have the room. The real challenge is picking which of the thousands of choices you'd like in your home. We recommend basing your choice on the decor style and color palette of your room.

For those who'd like more inspiration, we've outlined basic ways to use 8x12 area rugs throughout your rooms below:

Living Room

Try using an 8x12 jute rug or an 8x12 oriental rug in the living room. Jute is a durable natural material that's perfect for busy homes. And oriental rugs come in a range of materials, so you can pick one that's perfect for your living space. An 8x12 rug should accommodate most living room furniture and accessories.

Bedroom

If you have a bedroom with a king-size bed, consider an 8x12 wool area rug. Wool is a soft, natural material perfect for insulating a bedroom floor, and 8x12 is ideal for a king-size bed. The rug could sit almost entirely under the bed and provide around 2' of soft rug surface underfoot around the edges.

Patio

You can use an 8x12 outdoor rug to define a seating area on your patio. Look for material that's treated to withstand the moisture, soil, and sunlight that your rug will be exposed to for the best results. And consider an indoor/outdoor rug pad. Note that all outdoor rugs can also be used in busy, high-exposure indoor areas.

What's Next?

Picking your favorite design and color out of hundreds of beautiful 8x12 area rugs isn't easy. We want you to be happy with your purchase. So, make sure you know exactly what you need with our tips below before you buy.

• Consider Durability: Picking the right material for your rug means considering the levels of shoe traffic, soil, moisture, and UV rays it will be exposed to. This will help you pick a material that's durable enough for your space so that you can keep it clean and beautiful for years to come.
• Get a Rug Pad: Rug pads are designed to prevent surface damage on your rug's backing and pile. They prevent sliding and can add years to the life of most area rugs. We recommend adding an 8x12 rug pad to your cart before you checkout with your new 8x12 rug.

Shop for sizes similar to 8x12 area rugs such as 7x9, 7x10, 7x11, 8x9, and 8x11.
