5x8 Oval Rugs

Why 5x8 Oval Rugs?

These lovely 5x8 oval rugs come in a wide range of styles and colors, so there’s something for every home. From Hollywood glam to minimalist chic, we have you covered.

Interior decorators of all experience levels love using oval rugs 5x8 in homes. They're popular under dining tables, at the center of living rooms, in bedroom settings, and even in kitchens! The oval shape naturally makes your room appear larger thanks to the rounded edges, and it lends to amazing designs!

Are you still trying to decide what to do with your rug? If so, we’ve listed a few of our favorite applications below to give you some ideas:

• Of all the designs and styles, braided oval rugs 5x8 are probably the most common. They create a classic look that’s popular in country, lodge, chic, and traditional homes. Try using them in the dining room or den to protect the floor and give your home an inviting appeal.
• A 5x8 oval jute rug is a great natural fiber solution that might have other materials like cotton woven into it. Jute is durable and creates a texture that can balance a dull or lifeless room. It's also eco-friendly with gorgeous tan color but can also be dyed to almost any color to match all decor styles.
• When you’re using oval rugs in your home, decide what you want to use them with before you decide on a size. While 5x8 rugs are common, homes around the world will differ in dimensions. Only with careful measuring can you pick the best size of rug for your space. If 5x8 is a little too big for your space, opt for an oval rug 5x7 or smaller.

A Closer Look At Oval Rugs 5x8

When you buy a new rug, you’ll want to read the manufacturer’s care instructions before installing it. This ensures you’re prepared to keep it clean and well cared for from minute one. You might also want to use a 5x8 oval rug pad under your rug.

Rug pads aren't just for added cushioning. They keep your rug in place and slow the natural wear and tear on the materials. This is because that extra layer of padding reduces the damage done to the rug with daily use.
