How a Grey Bedroom Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

One of the best ways a grey bedroom rug can highlight your room’s decor is by working with the decor towards one goal: establishing the style of the room. When you focus on creating a unified room, the rug and decor work together towards that goal and the room will be consistently designed, carry the same tone throughout, and express your personality. 

Decorating With a Grey Bedroom Rug

Grey bedroom rugs come in all sorts of different patterns, designs, heights, and even color palettes, so no matter what style you fall into, there’s a grey rug out there that’s just right for you. To make the most out of the rug, try pairing it with other elements in the room like pillows, poufs, blankets, wall art, and other elements so that the theme is consistent throughout the whole room.

Choosing Which Grey Bedroom Rug is Right for You

Since there are so many options out there for grey bedroom rugs, you may be wondering how to begin your search and find one that’s just right for you. One good way to go about it is to consider these key areas. 

Position: There’s not a singular way to position a grey bedroom area rug, but there are some general layouts to get you started. If your bed is centered in the middle of the room, one of the best ways to add to that focal point is to use a rug beneath the bed. Some people place the rug all the way under the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. If your bed is off to the side of the room, try centering a rug in the middle of the room itself or add in a runner next to the side of the bed. Another option is to use a small bedroom rug elsewhere in the room to establish a reading nook, play area, or other spot. 

Size/Shape: Once you know what layout you want, finalize the size and shape of the rug. Rectangular, round, and runner are three common shapes for bedrooms, but you can also use alternative shapes like oval or even animal furs to really make a statement. The key with both size and shape is to make sure the room feels balanced visually and that the rug isn’t suffocating the space but also isn’t too minimal.

Pattern: Since grey is such a common color in a variety of styles, this means that you have your pick of what pattern you want your rug to feature. You can use a pattern to really solidify the room’s style or serve as a bridge between two different styles. Some patterns are extremely versatile such as oriental, persian, and geometric prints. These rugs appear in a variety of styles and look right at home. For guidance in choosing the pattern of your grey bedroom area rug, look at your existing decor or examples of your favorite style. 

Color: Choosing to search for grey bedroom rugs definitely helps narrow your search, but there are still other areas to consider with color. What shade of grey do you want in the rug? What other colors do you want in the rug’s design? Grey works well with many colors, and you’ll often find it paired with black, white, blue, yellow, teal, and so many others. Choose a color palette that connects to your existing color scheme or use the rug’s palette as the basis for the entire room.
