What is the Best Rug Placement in a Bedroom?

Option 2: Place rug under the bed In front of the nightstands

The next option is a popular one because it saves you a little dough, but still gives you the look you're after.

Option two has the rug under the bed, but slightly in front of the nightstands.

For king, queen, and full sized beds, the rug placement size would be a 6'x9′.

For twin beds, you could either go with a 6'x9′ or a 5'x8′ depending on the size of your room.

Option 3: Place two rugs on either side of bed

The last option in this list is for when you really want to add a rug, but you are short on dough.

This option allows you to put two 3'x5′ area rugs on either side of the bed.

It doesn't matter whether or not you have a king, queen, full, or twin sized bed for sizing.

Tips for Rug Placement in a Bedroom

These quick and simple rules are great, but you do still have to make sure the rug is actually going to not only fit, but look the way you want it to.

In order to double check before ordering, follow these tips:

• The bigger the room, the bigger the rug can be. When you're in between what size to get, consider the size of your bedroom first. And then follow the next tip.
• Measure where the rug will go first and if you're still unsure, lay painter's tape down on the floor to mimic the size of the rug. This way you can be sure you like how it looks before ordering.
• The general rule is you want the rug to sit under at least two-thirds of the bed for rug placement options one and two. Keep this in mind when finalizing the rug size.
• If you have a pretty large room, you can usually get away with an 8'x10′ rug or larger.
• In small bedrooms, try to fill up as much of the room as you can in order to not make the rug looked dwarfed and keep everything cohesive. But be aware of the next tip.
• You don't want a rug to push up too close to other pieces of large furniture, like dressers. The guideline is to either have the rug completely under the dresser (or larger piece of furniture) or leave 2-3 inches in front of the dresser.

My Rug Placement in the Guest Bedroom

For our guest bedroom, I chose option two and went with a 6'x9′ rug.

I chose this rug placement for the bedroom because it followed all the guidelines above and the larger size wouldn't have worked as well because of the shallow width of the room.

Also, it was nice to be able to go with a smaller rug to save some money, too!

This rug I found at Boutique Rugs is incredibly gorgeous.

Honestly, I figured it wasn't that expensive, so I should prepare for sub-par quality, but boy was I wrong.

It is so incredibly soft with the most beautiful pattern.

I was in total awe when I unrolled it.
