Before going out and buying a rug, it’s important that one determines what they want out of a rug in order to get the best “bang for their buck”.

How To Choose The Right Size Rug For Your Bedroom?

After a spot has been chosen for the bed, it is important that the overall “cover-able” space is measured so that the right rug size may be purchased. At a minimum, the length and width of the area where the rug is going to be laid down should be measured and noted.

If it is decided that the rug should cover the area around and beneath a bed, it is a good idea to measure – not just the bed but also the length and width of the extending floor around the bed. This will enable you to figure out the absolute minimum and maximum rug size range that you could potentially use in the bedroom.

For a larger size bedroom where there is also space for amenities such as a desk, vanity, or seating arrangements, small area rugs can be used to section off and create different spaces in the bedroom with great effect. This approach will break up the bedroom into different areas and will give the bedroom a more open feel.

If the bedroom is on the smaller side, such as a room where there is not enough space for anything other than a bed, a large size rug, placed under and around the bed, may look better. This approach will tie in the room and make it feel more on the cozy intimate side rather than just a small size bedroom.
