Should I get a 5x8 or 8x10 area rug? Updated w/pic
I am undecided about what size area rug to buy for my living room. Right now I have a 5 x 8, but I am thinking about going up to an 8 x 10 with the new area rug to cover up more of the wood floors.
Update:
here is a pic of my living room. We are buying a new area rug from Pottery Barn and re-paiting it to a light beige/tan color. The rug I have down is a 5x8, do you think I should get a 8x10?

Honestly, I like the size you already have.
Beautiful wood floors, I would want to show them off.

I would get the 8 x 10 (but pull it so that it's under the front 2 legs of the couch (don't cover up the wood floors) and personally, I wouldn't change the paint color of the room. I think it would look GORGE with the rug you picked out.

I agree with bicosi. I have an 8 X 10 in my family room and we pulled it to just touching the front 2 legs of the couch. Would the 8 X 10 come too far past the couch (to the right of the couch if you are facing it)?

i would leave the walls the same and get the pretty potterybarn 5X8 rug. i wouldn't hide those floors
the room doesnt need any changing in my opinion...

the only reason I want to change it is b/c it is not a very neutral color (it is alot more aqua than it looks blue in the picture) plus it runs up my stairs in my hallway upstairs. My family room is a creamy/yellow color and my dining room is green so I feel like with the aqua color it doesnt flow very well. I do LOVE the color though....

The size you have now is very nice. However it wouldnt hurt to go up to an 8x10. I love the rug you picked though. Yoru LR is so nice girlie.
