5x7 and 5x8 Black Rugs

Black Rugs 5x7

Adding a black rug 5x7 to your home can make your room more elegant and grounded while leveling up your decor. Are you ready?

Why A Black Rug 5x7?

When an interior decorator uses a black rug 5x7 in a home, it's generally to add a touch of grounding to the background of the room. These rugs are big enough to make a statement, start a conversation, and tie the rest of the space's decor together.

Because you can use a 5x7 black area rug easily in most homes, it's also considered a safe decor choice. Most options in the thousands of search results include grey, cream, white, or colors to soften the harshness of the black, and there's something for every home.

The following ideas will help you visualize how a professional decorator might use a 5x7 black area rug in a home:

• You might see a 5x8 black area rug in a room that was a bit too big for the 5x7 dimensions. Ideally, you should keep about 1 foot between the wall and the edge of your rug.
• You may find a black and white 5x7 rug with broad, sweeping lines and a splash of color in a spacious kitchen. A rug like this might be used in a contemporary or modern home.
• You might find a black and white 5x7 outdoor rug at the front door of a home with minimalist d?cor. A matching rug could sit in the home's entryway to catch soil from dirty shoes.

A Closer Look At Black Rugs

A 5x7 black area rug can work well in multiple rooms around the house, including the kitchen, living room, entryway, and bedroom. The size might be a bit small for most dining tables, but it could also work in playrooms, reading nooks, and even large bathrooms.

In color psychology and Feng Shui, black is associated with:

• Power
• Protection
• Mystery
• Sophistication
• Depth
• Strength
• Grounding
• Definition

When you add in greys and whites, you introduce brighter associations to the room, and the overall effect can make your space more inviting.

Is A Black Rug Right For Me?

Use an online color picker tool to compare various shades of blacks and greys with your existing decor colors. This will help you determine if you've found the right 5x8 rugs for your home. If the colors work together, you'll want to think about the size and material next.

The following guide will help you find the right size:

• Room: 5' x 7' ' Rug: 3' x 5'
• Room: 7' x 10' ' Rug: 5' x 8'
• Room: 10' x 12' ' Rug: 8' x 10'
• Room: 11' x 14' ' Rug: 9' x 12'
• Room: 14' x 17' ' Rug: 12' x 15'

For material, think about how much soil your rug will be exposed to and how well you'll be able to keep it clean. Synthetic fibers are usually easier to maintain than natural.

Choosing The Perfect Black Rug 5x7

Use your size and material requirements to narrow your search results to a more manageable number. Then compare your favorites to pick the perfect rug for your home.

Remember to buy a quality pad. Pads keep rugs from sliding while adding an extra layer of cushioning.
