I bought this rug that I love , its 8x10 size and my living room is 20x20. Does this look good or should i go for a bigger rug, please help

Your rug size just meets the minimum criteria suggested- front legs should be on the rug. It looks fine the way it is and if you love the rug and can’t get a bigger size, leave it.

I hope its not looking small in the room and , any ideas on the color combination?

I suggest that you turn the rug 90 degrees. It might look better that way.

rug is a great color for the room, its positioned correctly. i would try moving the two chairs forward so that the front legs are on the rug. another option.. get a jute rug that is bigger than the 8x10 and layer them, jute on bottom, 8x10 on top. in general, you want front legs of all seating on the rug.

can you take a pic of the room from behind the sofa too?

The color is great- pulls everything together. Orientation of the rug is perfect. It really sounds like you don’t think it’s large enough so why not try a larger rug and see which you like better?

It works…have you tried putting the front legs of the chairs on the rug?

just to show seating with front legs on rug.

Looks good to me. I would just do as suggested and move the front chair legs on the rug.

Can you get the same rug in a 9'x12' or 10'x14' size?

I like it, unless you want to spend on more. I like your mahogany red-brown items, warm. :)

Very pretty rug.

But I think a bigger size would be better, yes. Unless I’m seeing wrong, this one only goes under part of the feet ... it would look better going behind the feet more.

Or, just position your current one more under the sectional and see how that looks.

9/12 rug is actually very expensive, that is why went with 8/10

I really think you could position your current one a bit different and it’ll look like a better fit. And save money. :)

Thank you so much for all the help, really appreciate it.

There are a few on line sources that allow you to try rugs in your room. These are all from Rugs-Direct.com 12 x 15 minimum

I only have the chart for rugs up to 10 x 14 but you get the idea.

Oh how nice, will definitely try that, thank you so much🙂

I think your rug size is fine. I think it should be turned the other way. The biggest problem I see is your sofa is too far away for your chairs and your fireplace. Unless I'm seeing a funky angle and the furniture is closer than appears. I'd start there.

Actually i have these windows and if I put the chair forward they will create an obstruction in front of the window .

It is too small for your space,
