A bedroom rug is the only rug in the house you judge with your feet before your eyes. It is the first thing you stand on in the morning, which makes pile height and softness matter more here than anywhere else in the home.

Three ways to place a rug in a bedroom

Under the bed, extending past it. The most common and the most forgiving. The rug sits under the bottom two-thirds of the bed and extends 60 to 75 cm past each side and the foot, so you step onto rug on both sides. For a queen bed that means 240 x 330. For a king, 300 x 400.

Across the foot of the bed. A 160 x 230 placed horizontally under the lower third of the bed. Cheaper, and it still gives you something soft where you sit to put shoes on, but you step onto bare floor on the sides.

Runners either side. Two runners, one per bedside, each around 80 x 300. This works well in smaller rooms, in rentals where a large rug is an awkward purchase, and in rooms with a beautiful floor you do not want to cover.

Pile height is the decision that matters

Bedrooms are low-traffic, which means you can choose comfort over durability without regret. High-pile shag and 20 mm wool are genuinely better underfoot here, and they absorb sound in a room where that is welcome. Our 12 mm range is the middle ground, soft enough to enjoy, shallow enough that a door clears it.

The exception is a bed on castors or a room where you vacuum often: a flatweave or low-pile wool will be less work.

Colour for a room you want to sleep in

Bedrooms are where the muted end of the palette does its best work. Sage, warm beige, greige, mushroom and ivory all lower the visual temperature of a room. If the bedding is patterned, keep the rug plain. If the bedding is plain white, which it usually is, the rug is where the texture and colour should come from.

Avoid high-contrast geometric patterns in a main bedroom. They photograph well and they are tiring to wake up to.

Kids’ bedrooms

Different brief entirely: washable surfaces, fade resistance and a pattern that survives a toy box being dragged across it. Our kids range is built for that and sits separately.
