We put together this blog to inspire and delight rug lovers who are needing quality 8×10 area rugs. We don’t like to pick favorites (because they’re all our favorite ;-)), but we will focus on the beauty of these rugs and why we picked them in our BEST category.

8×10 area rugs are one of the most commonly purchased sizes of rugs.  9×12 area rugs are also very popular. But why is the 8×10 rug so perfect?

If you live in the Bay Area, then you know that many homes are not sprawling as it is a densely packed metropolitan area. The 8×10 area rug fits most rooms and works very well with a standard couch and chair. It also works very nice in bedrooms, kids rooms and play rooms.  

There’s no end to the love we have for the 8×10 area rug. However, let us start with some of our favorites.

This gorgeous 8×10 area rug “Tree of Life” is very popular in our area rug showroom. It currently hangs upon our walls and gets a lot of attention. Something about the harmonious structure and beautiful cypress trees throughout draws people to this beautiful oriental rug. You can look at the design and find the symbols in rugs that are woven into this exquisite piece of art. This one is definitely a favorite amongst our clients.

Our next favorite 8×10 rug is definitely a favorite for its overall design and feeling. It is the only one of its kind in our area rug showroom. It has beautiful curvelinear designs and exquisite use of color with dark and lighter reds, golds and blues.

Ruby Rugs Aryana Beauty rug, reminds us a lot of a rug that was sold for $33.8 million dollars at Sotheby’s in 2013. It broke records when it sold. It’s called the Clark Sickle-Leaf Carpet. Before auction, it was only estimated to sell at $9.6 million, but this rug surprised everyone.

The Aryana Beauty rug is nowhere near $33.8 million and thus comparatively speaking, is a fabulous deal for such a strikingly similar rug. Learn more about this rug and other expensive rugs.

Pakistani gabbeh

We have to mention this next rug due its one of a kind beauty and playful elegance. This gorgeous 8×10 GABBEH is not typical of most gabbeh area rugs, but we definitely need to give it some attention and show it off. Not only is this rug rare in our showroom, but its one of the very few gabbeh rugs that are from Pakistan. The majority of the gabbeh’s we have in stock are from India or Iran. The Pakistani gabbehs are rare and this one because of its style and fun feeling makes this one of our favorites.
