The Best Modern 5'x8' Area Rugs: Vintage, Jute, Wool, Silk and Hide Rug Options

Add texture, pattern and plush pile to your home with modern 5'x8' area rugs. The ideal size for an entryway, kitchen rug, laundry room or a small-space living room, 5'x8' rugs add a cozy, lived-in feel to any space. When selecting the best 5'x8' rug for a room, be sure to consider the style of your existing pieces and the amount of foot traffic the area rug will receive. Jute rugs and wool rugs are among the most durable options while silk area rugs and viscose options are luxuriously soft on your feet. Another hack is choosing a dark-colored area rug to hide the appearance of dirt. Need help deciding what rug to buy?

Styling 5'x8' Area Rugs

After considering the placement of your 5'x8' rug and the amount of foot traffic it will receive, consider the style next. From one-of-a-kind vintage rugs to natural fur hide rugs, our 5'x8' rugs are unique enough to stand on their own or be layered over an 8'x10' rug or under a doormat on the front porch. Opt for a beige jute or wool 5'x8' rug that acts as a neutral backdrop for your existing furniture. Or place a black 5'x8' area rug in the entryway to mask the appearance of dirt. For more formal rooms that get less foot traffic, lighten up the space with a white 5'x8' rug. If you need an outdoor rug to go on your covered front porch or deck, consider a 5'x8' area rug for drying feet and minimizing the transfer of dirt into the house. No matter what style you choose, there is a 5'x8' rug option at CB2 for you. Is a 5'x8' rug the wrong fit? Go up a few sizes with a 6'x9' rug, 8'x10' rug, 9'x12' rug or 10'x14' rug.
