5x8 White Rugs

Why A 5x8 White Rug?

Are you shopping for a 5x8 white rug to brighten your home’s décor? With so many options, we have something for every home.

Rugs are a powerful decorating tool that cannot be overlooked in the house. And when you make a statement with a 5x8 white rug, it’s difficult to deny the impact it has on the space. This is why interior decorators love using these pieces in their designs. And with modern rug-making methods paired with synthetic fabrics, they're easier to care for than ever before.

If you’d like to look at some inspiration before you make your purchase, check out a few of our favorite designs below:

• A 5x8 white area rug can look striking in a chic living room at the center of the seating area. White can brighten a space, but it also grounds and anchors the furniture in the place to make it more relaxing to spend time in. This would work best in a home with a no-shoes policy.
• A black and white rug 5x7 works well for bringing more personality to your decorating choice. Whether you opt for primitive designs, simple stripes, or playful waves, black designs on a white background always draw the eye. This size would work in a home with limited space.
• You might place a 5x7 white outdoor rug in your entryway or kitchen (or on your patio, of course). The outdoor fabric would make the rug easier to keep clean in these busy areas of your home, and you still get to enjoy a white rug in an active space!

A Closer Look At The 5x8 White Rug

As we mentioned above, you might prefer a 5x7 white rug instead of a 5x8 option. This is best in apartments, tiny homes, or just smaller spaces like the laundry room. The difference between a 5x8 and a 5x7 white rug is striking when you’re looking for the perfect fit, so measure carefully.

Ideally, you want to maintain at least 12 inches between the edges of your rug and the walls. This requires subtracting 2 feet from both the length and the width of your space. Many decorators prefer to keep 24 inches between rugs edges and walls, which requires subtracting 4 feet from both the length and the width.

Look at your math and measurements carefully, and always double-check.
