Bed Room Rugs
Bedroom rugs: comfort and warmth for your sleeping area
Bedroom rugs not only add style, but also play a crucial role in the comfort and functionality of the space. A well-chosen rug can transform your bedroom into a cosy haven. In addition to their aesthetic function, rugs help to demarcate specific zones within larger or open-plan bedrooms, where there may be different areas, such as sleeping and reading areas.
Placing a rug at the foot of the bed is a classic option to add a warm and cosy touch, while a wider rug, placed in front of the bed, can visually anchor all the furniture in the bedroom.
Whether you have a double bedroom or a smaller room, rugs not only add texture and colour, but make the bedroom a more comfortable place to walk around and relax.
Choosing the ideal rug is no small task. From styles and materials to perfect placement, every detail counts in creating the restful atmosphere you desire.
What type of rug is good for the bedroom? Find the right one for your style
When selecting a bedroom rug, there are several key factors to consider: the decorative style, the colours, the type of material and the practical use you'll make of it.
Colours: Light carpets such as a white or beige rug bring light and airiness to the room, making it feel more spacious. If you are looking for a cosier atmosphere, warmer shades such as browns or greens are an excellent choice. You can match the colour of the rug with the other textiles in the bedroom such as bed cushions or a thin bed blanket to bring unity to the decor.
At Blankets Of The World we offer various types of rugs such as bohemian style rugs, ethnic style rugs or Nordic style rugs among others, to add a touch of personality and dynamism to your bedroom.
Patterns: If your bedroom follows a more minimalist style, a plain rug in neutral tones can complement the environment without overloading it. On the other hand, if you want to give more life to your room, geometric prints, like the ones we offer in our rugs, can be the key to break the monotony.
Materials: Rugs made from eco-friendly materials are perfect for those who are looking for softness and sustainability. Natural fibres will provide warmth underfoot, especially in the colder months. They are also ideal for rooms where easy maintenance is required.
How should the carpet be placed in the bedroom?
To place the carpet correctly in the bedroom, consider the layout of the furniture. Each space has its own unique layout, and the carpet should help to highlight the main elements without losing sight of their functionality.
At the foot of the bed: Placing a rug at the foot of the bed is a popular choice. It provides a soft surface when getting up in the morning, while adding a touch of warmth and design to the room. In addition, a rug at the foot of the bed can delineate the sleeping area from other areas of the bedroom.
Under the whole bed: If you have space and want a more enveloping option, placing the rug under the whole bed is ideal, especially in larger bedrooms. This arrangement creates a balanced environment, visually connecting the bed with other furniture such as bedside tables or benches at the foot of the bed.
Separate zones in large bedrooms: In large or open rooms, rugs can also be used to divide different areas. For example, you can have a small rug near a reading area, with an armchair and lamp, and a larger rug under the bed. This helps to define the different areas without losing the harmony of the design.
The correct placement of a rug in your bedroom not only improves the appearance of the room, but also influences its functionality. Depending on your needs and the size of the room, you can experiment with different arrangements to find the one that works best in your space.
How big should a bedroom rug be?
The size of the rug is another crucial aspect when shopping. A rug that is too small can look out of proportion to the furniture, while one that is too large can overload the space.
For small rooms: If your room is more compact, a smaller rug may be the best option. Placing it at the foot of the bed or in front of the bed can add warmth without taking up too much space. In smaller rooms, it is important that the rug does not cover the entire floor, but serves as a decorative accent that enhances the furniture.
For large bedrooms or double bedrooms: In a large bedroom or double bedroom, you can opt for a large bedroom rug that covers the entire area under the bed and extends beyond the sides. This not only brings cohesion to all the furnishings, but also makes the room look more luxurious and cosy. A general rule of thumb is to have the rug protrude about 60cm beyond the bed to maintain a proper proportion.
At Blankets Of The World we offer rugs in standard sizes to place in front of the bed, at the foot of the bed or to enclose a small area such as a reading corner in your bedroom.
Caring for and maintaining your bedroom carpet: cleaning tips
Caring for your carpet is essential for it to retain its appearance and quality for years to come. Here are some practical tips to keep it in top condition at all times:
- Regular vacuuming: Just like living room carpets, carpets in the bedroom need to be vacuumed regularly to remove dust, dirt and any allergens that accumulate over time. This is especially important if you have long pile carpets or natural materials such as wool.
- Spot cleaning: In the event of stains, it is essential to act immediately. Use carpet-specific cleaning products and avoid scrubbing too hard to avoid damaging the fibres. A simple trick is to use warm water and a soft sponge to remove light stains.
- Rotate the carpet: To avoid wear in specific areas, it is advisable to rotate the carpet every six months. This is especially useful if the carpet is under heavy furniture such as the bed or if there is a lot of traffic in some areas of the bedroom.
By following these simple steps, you can prolong the life of your bedroom carpet, keeping it clean and in perfect condition.
Bedroom rugs are the perfect complement to create a cosy, warm and stylish sleeping space. Whether you're looking for a bedside rug or an all-over bedroom rug, choosing sustainable materials not only ensures quality, but also supports a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.
