Bedroom rugs

The bedroom rug matters far more than people realise: it softens the mood, warms the room visually and brings real day-to-day comfort, above all first thing in the morning, when bare feet land on something soft instead of a cold floor. Unlike the living room rug, it can afford more softness, a longer pile and quieter, more inward tones, because this is a private space made for rest.

What size for a bedroom rug?

Several layouts work, depending on the floor area and the furniture. Option 1: under the bed. The rug extends 60 to 80 cm beyond the bed on every side, so you always step onto something soft. For a queen bed, allow a 200×300 cm; for a king or a large bedroom, go up to 250×350 cm. Option 2: bedside rugs. Two small rugs, one on each side of the bed (80×150 cm), or one long rug (runner style) laid in front of the bed. Option 3: at the foot of the bed. A 160×230 cm placed crossways, which frames the end of the bed without taking over the room.

Which styles suit a bedroom

The bedroom is where softness and comfort are allowed to win. Long-pile shaggy rugs rule here: nothing else makes getting up feel quite so good. Berber-style rugs create a graphic, natural cocoon. Scandinavian designs, with their pale grounds and pared-back motifs, create a calm, light-filled mood. In a contemporary bedroom, textured plains give you an understated base and let the bedding and the textiles do the talking.

Colours and materials

Bedrooms call for soft, calming tones. Beige, light grey, cream white, dusty pink and sage green create the restful atmosphere that helps you drift off. Deeper tones (midnight blue, taupe, plum) suit a bedroom with more character. On materials, shaggy polyester remains the benchmark for plushness, and polypropylene for easy upkeep. Our wool and Tencel handmade rugs add a touch of luxury at the foot of the bed.

A child's bedroom or an adult's?

In a child's bedroom, go for washable materials and playful motifs. In an adult's, be generous with the dimensions for a hotel feel: an extra-large rug under the bed and the bedside table changes the room instantly.
