8x8 Square Rug

Square rugs are unique, versatile, and easy to style. With four even sides, you can rotate your rug to the direction you like best without having to rearrange any of the furniture or decor in the room. Square rugs are great for bedrooms, entryways, dining rooms, and living rooms that are more square than rectangular. Before we get into how your can style a square area rug, let's go over the most common types of 8x8 square rugs and what they can be made of.

Types Of Square Area Rugs

When searching for the perfect rug, you might find yourself a little overwhelmed looking at all the types, patterns, colors, and materials that area rugs are made of. You'll want to use filter tools to help narrow down your search. To do that, you'll need to ask yourself a couple of questions:

Where will the 8x8 rug be used?

  • Indoor 8x8 square rugs can be made of a large variety of materials from silk, wool, acrylic, polyester, cotton, jute, nylon and more. Depending on where you want to put your rug will help determine what material is best to use. Silk is somewhat durable, but is rather expensive and requires professional cleaning. Wool, cotton, and acrylic are all durable and can be cleaned with a mild dishwashing soap when needed.

  • Solid square area rugs can be a great way to add texture to your decor without a pattern. You can choose a solid area rug to keep your decor balanced and cozy. Let the texture of a woven or braided rug shine in a solid color.
  • Geometric patterns that are popular and timeless include diamond, honeycomb, chevron, and herringbone patterns. These and other geometric patterns feature straight lines and sharp angles.
