Yes, depending on how it looks. I've seen it done most often in living rooms. It could dominate the room, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! The biggest thing for me would be whether it got in the way of furniture against the wall. For furniture that sits half on/half off the rug, you can always put a pad under dresser or crib/bed legs that are off the rug so that they are level.

I /think/ it would be fine, but I'd want to see it just to check.

I would think it could be ok depending on the layout and other furniture. Agree too big is better than too small. Also- 8x10 Riggs are usually a lot more expensive than smaller ones! Is it over hard wood? More rug means more padding for drops and falls. But messier cleanup for spills and accidents.

My LO’s room is this size and this is the same size rug we have. People have actually commented about how much bigger her room seems with it (we used to have a 5x8).

See how it looks to you, but in our case, it works great. I like having more soft surface area, too.

@agold: use it!! there's an interior decorating principle that in small rooms, large/dominating rugs work better. Incidentally my daughter's room is the same size as your room, and I got a 5x8 rug for it (wouldn't fit an 8x10 because of the radiator placement) and it really annoys me how it sits in the middle of the room with no furniture anchoring it. 8x10's are so much more expensive, consider yourself lucky
