So, you have chosen the perfect rug, now is the time to find the perfect place for it.
Rugs are a great way to inject color, soften the tone, bring warmth and a sense of timeliness into any bedroom. However, the placement of the rug is crucial to creating the desired effect.
How and where you place a rug is entirely dependent on the size of the room, as well as your current furnishings. If the placement of the rug is wrong, it can create a loud and decluttered bedroom, which is the last thing you want for a space that is supposed to be inviting and bring a sense of calm.
Here are several ways by bedroom furniture companies you can place the rug in your bedroom to create a warm and cozy space.
Large rugs
The best placement for your large rug in your bedroom is in the center and under the bed, with equal parts showing on either side. This kind of placement can be a great way to open up your bedroom space and streamline the decor.
Make sure your bedroom furnishings are placed directly on or off the rug, to ensure no furnishings lose their stability.
If you have a small bedroom, a large rug is likely going to take up the majority of bedroom space. If this is the case, make sure the rug is centered in the middle of the room, as opposed to the bed. This ensures a clean space, with symmetrical border lines.
Medium-sized rugs
There are a couple of options if you have a medium-sized rug. Firstly, you can place the rug on one side of your bed. This is a great option if your bed is against a wall. The second option is to place the rug at the bottom of your bed. This option works best if your bed is in the middle of the room.
If possible, the rug should fit under your bed or other furnishings so you cannot see the end, for example, the side of the rug should be placed under the bed. Then you can place your wardrobe or ottoman and other furnishings on top of the rug to help frame the space and make it more aesthetically pleasing.
Small rugs
A smaller rug in your bedroom space can help create a more warmer and inviting atmosphere. It is not as important to have them in the center or under furniture in this case. It is, however, important to have them lined up with furniture, to keep the space looking clean, tidy, and symmetrical.
If your bed is against the wall, or you have a smaller rug, you may opt to have the rug on one side (the side you use to get in and out of bed) or the end of the bed as with the medium-sized rug.
There are many benefits to adding a rug into your space, by creating a unique statement piece as well as a splash of color. However, the placement of the rug is crucial and can make or break your bedroom design. It is a good idea to play around and experiment with different placements using the best practices above, to create the perfect space for you.
