Rug Size Guides
Placing a rug in the bedroom is a fantastic way to incorporate a soft texture, personal design, and color into your bedroom. When you place that rug beneath your bed, you not only add these stylish aspects, but you also reinforce the bed as a main focal point of the room. There are many benefits to including a rug beneath your bed, but there are some challenges as well with layout, sizing, and scaling that need to be addressed.
You certainly don’t need a rug in a bedroom, but it is common practice for many reasons. Placing a rug under your bed adds extra comfort to the sides of your bed, a soft surface to step on each morning and night, and protection for the floor itself. Plus, a rug is a unique opportunity to incorporate texture, color, and pattern in the room, so those reasons alone are enough to include a rug in the bedroom.

Rug pads are recommended even for rugs under the bed, because the rug pad acts as an extra layer of protection, soundproofing, and security beneath the rug. Plus, the portions of the rug and pad that extend past the sides of the bed will be more plush and comfortable with a rug pad extending all the way beneath the rug.
A 5x7 rug can be layered beneath a twin bed, but aside from that, you can set the rug along one side of the bed and in the middle of the room if the room itself is fairly small. If you are layering the rug with the bed, it will likely be a twin or full bed. The rug should rest under the bottom two-thirds or bottom third of the rug to balance with the bed size and the size of the room itself.
8x10 rugs work well in bedrooms with full, queen, or king sized beds. The smaller the bed, the more likely you will have the rug all the way under the bed and pressing up against the headboard’s wall. With queen or king sized beds, you can have the rug under the bottom two-thirds or half of the bed to balance the bed’s size and create a comfortable area.
Rug pads are often an afterthought of the rug buying process, but they should be as carefully considered as the rug itself. These rug pads provide a plethora of benefits in terms of the rug’s comfort, longevity, and safety, so there are countless reasons to add one to any room of the home.
