5x8 rugs to the trade
5x8 rugs to the trade: 123 styles from Pampas Leather (51), Couristan (45), Tisca Tiara (26) and Prestige Mills (1), Couristan (45) and most of them hand-loomed (30), with 123 made to order. Wool (49), polyester (22) and polypropylene (66) lead the fibers.
A 5x8 area rug is an accent size: an entry, a bedside, a desk, or a loveseat with its front legs on. It does not work under a queen bed; a 60 inch mattress leaves nothing showing at the sides, so step up to an 8x10 or run two 3x5s along the sides. By the 70 percent rule a rug covers about two thirds of a seating group, which a 5x8 rarely does. See the area rug size guide and the queen bed guide.
