Collection: 5x8 Area Rugs

5x8 area rugs suit a small living room, where the rug sits under the coffee table with the front legs of the sofa on it, and they work beside or under a twin or full bed. Nearly all of ours are indoor-outdoor designs. About three in four are listed as machine washable; those are polyester with a non-slip backing and are described as stain resistant, which helps with pets and kids. Geometric and abstract patterns lead, followed by floral and medallion designs. Blue is the most common color, then gray, brown and green, with plenty of ivory, cream and beige for a lighter room. Before you order, mark out 5 by 8 feet on the floor with painter's tape to check the fit.
