The Ultimate Bedroom Rug Guide: How to Pick a Rug for Your Bedroom
Is your bedroom decor missing something? An area rug could be just the thing to elevate your interior design. When picking a rug for your bedroom, it’s important to consider things like size, color, and how it will fit in with the rest of your furniture. Complete with design inspiration from Tumble’s collection, this guide can help you find the perfect rug for your bedroom.
Bedroom Rug Sizes
The right size rug will depend on the size of your room and your bed. Here’s a general guide to help you choose:
- For a King Bed: A rug measuring 9x12 feet is ideal. It should extend at least 24 inches beyond the sides and foot of the bed.
- For a Queen Bed: An 8x10-foot rug works well, offering adequate coverage around the bed.
- For a Full Bed: A 6x9-foot rug provides sufficient space, leaving room for bedside tables while covering the floor around the bed.
- For Smaller Beds (Twin or Single): A 5x8-foot rug should suffice, especially if the bed is against the wall.
Patterns and Colors: Making the Right Choice
The right pattern and color can transform your bedroom rug into a statement piece. Here’s how to pick a rug for a bedroom that complements your decor:
- Solid Colors: A solid-colored rug is versatile and can work with various design styles. Choose a color that complements or contrasts with your bedding and walls.
- Patterns: A patterned rug can add visual interest to a bedroom with solid-colored bedding and walls. Geometric patterns, florals, and abstract designs are popular choices.
- Neutral Tones: Neutral rugs are timeless and versatile, providing a subtle backdrop that allows other elements in your room to shine.
- Bold Colors: A rug in a bold color can act as the focal point of your bedroom. If you choose a bright or deep hue, ensure it harmonizes with the rest of your decor to avoid overwhelming the space.
Maintenance Tips
Once you've chosen the perfect bedroom rug, proper maintenance is essential to keep it looking its best. Use our tips to make cleaning a breeze:
- Regular Vacuuming: This removes dust and dirt that can damage the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: Address spills immediately with a gentle cleaner appropriate for your rug’s material.
- Machine Wash: Tumble’s bedroom rugs are machine washable. Simply pop it into the wash whenever you feel your rug needs a refresh.
- Rotate Regularly: Rotating your rug every few months ensures even wear and prevents fading in areas exposed to sunlight.
