There’s nothing worse than having to leave your warm, cozy bed in the morning and stepping out onto a floor that has practically become a sheet of ice overnight. A cozy rug under your bed will not only prevent cold feet in the morning, but also go a long way toward muffling sound and providing an extra level of texture and color to the room.
I am Dania Hussain and this guide will walk you through all the essentials of picking the best bedroom rug for your home.
Rules of Thumb:
With all the variation present in bedroom shapes, sizes, and furniture layouts, knowing what size of bedroom rug to get and how to place it in your room can be a challenge.
No matter what individual needs you may have, keep these rules of thumb in mind: the bed should always be the focus of your room and any rug you put under the bed should extend 18-24 inches beyond its edges.
On the first point—since the bed is the focus of the room, the rug should be used to accent it. Place your rug under the bed or beside it and size it according to the size of the bed. If your bedroom is large enough for a separate sitting area (read our guide on living room rugs to help find one for that space!) or vanity, use smaller accent rugs to define these spaces separately. Simply centering a large rug can make your furniture layout look off-balance.
Creating an 18- to 24-inch border around the rug means you’ll always have something soft to step on as you climb into or out of bed. If you have a bench at the foot of your bed, the rug should extend beyond that as well.
