I really like this rug, but you have to be careful with the run size. I ordered an 8x8 square but it came in at 7.5 squared. I also ordered an 8x8 rug mat which actually was a true 8x8. Since this was for the living room, I had to return it. 

I can’t say whether ordering a size up will give you what you want. I’m going to try that, hoping that they don’t make it too big.
