How Should a Bedroom Rug Be? Bedroom Rug Selection Guide

We have prepared a guide about choosing a bedroom Rug so that it is useful for people looking for a Rug for the bedroom, from its fiber to its color, from its price to its pattern, from its size to its cleaning, and to share Halıcızade’s knowledge and experience on this subject. Please enjoy this warm guide with an approximate reading time of 8 minutes:

How Should a Bedroom Rug Be?

Let's say what we will say at the end at the beginning. The bedroom Rug should be beautiful. This is the most important part. What is beauty? It should be a beauty that either harmonizes with the bedroom decoration within home decoration or adds variety, character, and a unique atmosphere. The answer to the question of how to lay a bedroom Rug should make you say when you look at your Rug, "We laid it wonderfully, it turned out very beautiful."

Halıcızade’s recommendation is to lay Rugs made of natural wool, bamboo, viscose, or silk as much as possible. Because we should use fibers suitable for our nature where we breathe. After this introduction, let's take a look at some details.

What is a Bedroom Rug? What are its Features?

One of the most important features of a bedroom Rug is that it makes you feel comfortable both mentally and spiritually, as well as physically. For example, while functionality and cleanliness are prioritized for a kitchen Rug, the Rug with the least cleanliness sensitivity in home decoration is the bedroom Rug. The dimensions of the bedroom Rug can vary according to the layout of the space, the size of the room, the bed, and - if any - other furniture, but when you think of a bedroom Rug, soft, fluffy Rugs come to mind first. Using Rugs that do not allow air circulation is also important for health in our bedroom where we spend long hours.

Why Is Rug Selection Important for the Bedroom?

Choosing a Rug for the bedroom is important for 4 reasons:

1. The last place we see when we end the day and enter the world of dreams is the bedroom.
2. The first place we see when we start the day and return to life is the bedroom.
3. The room where we walk barefoot the most is the bedroom.
4. The area least seen by people, and therefore where we can choose the rug that suits our soul the most, is the bedroom.

Also, one of the most important advantages of using a rug in the bedroom is hygiene. Because if you choose the right rug, when you clean your rug, you clean your room. It traps dust flying in the air that you might otherwise breathe in, accumulating it on its surface instead of your lungs. Another advantage is adjusting the atmosphere of the environment. For example, if the bedroom rug is white, you can create a more spacious and uplifting environment. But above all, in our opinion, it is the texture of the rug. Because bedrooms are the places where bare feet touch the floor the most, and having a soft texture on the rug can make your day more enjoyable.

What to Consider When Choosing a Bedroom Rug?

So what should you pay attention to when choosing a bedroom rug? Checking the tips below will both make your job easier and more accurate:

1. Dimensions: You should be careful about the bedroom rug sizes; depending on the bed placement, you can lay it as a bedroom rug set or as a single piece.
2. Laying: How is the bedroom rug laid? As an answer to this, do you want to lay the rug under the bed so that the bed extends over the rug, or in front of the bed?
3. Shape: Round bedroom rug or oval bedroom rug, which shape do you prefer?
4. Accessories: How should the rug interact with other objects in the bedroom decoration?
5. Color harmony: Gray bedroom rug, white bedroom rug, or vibrant colors?
6. Texture: The texture of the rug is very important in the bedroom. Plush rug models are generally frequently preferred for the bedroom. Also, when you walk on high-pile rugs, your footprints may remain; pay attention to this if it is important to you.

Which Material Is Best for a Bedroom Rug?

As we mentioned before, the yarns are very important in terms of walking barefoot on the rugs in the bedroom. If you want a soft and fluffy surface, a plush bedroom rug would be suitable for you. On the other hand, a furry bedroom rug and a shaggy bedroom rug can also be the right choice for those who want softness, but be careful that they are not made of polyester. Our recommendation under the best rugs for the bedroom heading is bamboo bedroom rug because it is both soft and natural, making it very healthy. Additionally, a wool bedroom rug keeps you warm and can be a bit firm, but it is a good alternative for those looking for a non-marking bedroom rug. And if your budget allows, look at silk or silk-blended rugs; you can be sure you will enjoy walking on them.

How Thick Should Your Bedroom Rug Be?

For those looking for a bedroom Rug suitable for robot vacuum cleaners, the thickness of the Rug is also important. If you want a thicker Rug, it may be a disadvantage for vacuuming, but especially plush bedroom Rugs can be washed in the washing machine in many cases. Therefore, cleaning is easy. On the other hand, those who want fluffiness where they step can choose from furry bedroom Rug and shaggy bedroom Rug alternatives. For those who say "I don't really like thick Rugs," we recommend bedroom carpets and Rug models from the Halıcızade Kehribar Series, which stand out with their thin texture.

When Are Anti-Allergic Bedroom Rugs Necessary?

If you have respiratory sensitivities or are looking for a Rug suitable for asthma patients, anti-allergic Rugs might be the right choice for you. Since allergy is a very broad area, regardless of what and how much allergy there is, if we approach Rug selection in terms of shedding fibers and dust, the healthiest choices are bamboo bedroom Rug, viscose bedroom Rug, and cotton bedroom Rug. Those who want Rug selection tips can note that these three yarns are among the best Rugs for the bedroom due to their plant-based cellulosic properties and can make their choices accordingly. All three yarns prevent the spread of dust in the air without causing static electricity and can be used with peace of mind thanks to their natural structures.

What Size Is Most Suitable for a Bedroom Rug?

When it comes to bedroom Rug dimensions, the most common question we hear is how many square meters the bedroom Rug should be. Let's look at some points that determine this together. The first is hidden in the answer to how to lay the bedroom Rug. Some lay it as an under-bed Rug, while others buy a bedroom Rug set and lay it both in front of and beside the bed. Also, deciding on the shape of the Rug makes your job easier. For example, some say the bedroom Rug should be oval, while others want to lay a round bedroom Rug. Here, you are completely free; there is no right or wrong, only your preferences.

Minimalist bedroom design lovers lay the Rug in the bedroom in white color. This way, it is possible to choose from modern bedroom Rug models, and also to make the room look larger and more spacious than it actually is. On the other hand, one of the most important factors determining the size of the Rug is your budget. We recommend that you make your choice considering Rug prices and select a bedroom Rug that makes you feel good while not straining your budget.

Small Bedroom Rug Size Selection

Small bedrooms are generally rooms under 20 square meters. Laying round bedroom Rugs in such rooms will help make the space look larger. On the other hand, the answer to how many square meters a small bedroom Rug should be is at most 6 and at least 3 square meters. If you want to lay a Rug under your bed and have it show on three sides, you can also choose 8 square meter Rugs.

Large Bedroom Rug Size Selection

In large bedrooms, things are a bit different. For bedrooms starting from 20 square meters with no upper limit, you can lay an 8-10 square meter bedroom Rug under the bed. Also, depending on the room size, a round bedroom Rug of about 6-10 square meters can be laid in front of the bed. Additionally, the question of how many square meters the bedroom Rug should be varies according to the room size, but we can say that the total visible area of the Rugs should be up to 25-30% of the total room area.

Should You Choose Square or Round for the Bedroom Rug?

Should the bedroom Rug be round, square, or rectangular? Honestly, the answer to this question largely depends on your tastes. If the room's dimensions are closer to square, you can lay a round bedroom Rug or a square bedroom Rug. If you plan to lay a Rug extending from under the bed or use a bedroom Rug set for the sides and front of the bed, rectangular is the right choice.

How to Choose Bedroom Rug Color and Pattern?

We've come to another important topic. What color and pattern do you want for the bedroom Rug? If you like minimalist bedroom design, white bedroom Rug, gray bedroom Rug, and black bedroom Rug would be suitable for you. Alongside these, cream bedroom Rug and powder bedroom Rug can also be the right alternatives for those who enjoy sleeping in calm spaces. When choosing from modern bedroom Rug models, whether you like geometric patterns, floral patterns, or simple plain designs is entirely up to your imagination. You can choose from both striped and vintage Rug alternatives within Modern Rug models.

For those who want to lay a more lively, different, and characteristic Rug, it is also possible to position the Rug as an eye-catching accessory within the bedroom decoration. By laying a red bedroom Rug, purple bedroom Rug, or even a black and white bedroom Rug, you can increase the room's dynamism and push calmness into the background. When choosing your Rug, you should pay attention to color harmony and lay a Rug that contains one or several of the three most used tones in the room to achieve harmony. Or you can benefit from the attractiveness of contrast by choosing a bedroom Rug or bedroom carpet in tones opposite to the three most used tones in the room.

As we mentioned before, there is no right way to choose a bedroom Rug. While some prefer more plain and self-patterned Rugs, others like authentic patterned, ethnic motif, and character-rich designs. Since your bedroom is like the heart of your home, just lay what you desire and what makes you feel good 😊

How to Lay a Bedroom Rug?

By choosing the right option among the alternatives for laying a Rug in the bedroom, you can both beautify the bedroom decoration and benefit from the advantages of using a Rug in the bedroom.

1. A large Rug laid under the bed extends out from both sides and the front of your bed; its biggest advantage is the visual appeal and the softness of the floor you step on from your bed. The disadvantage is the cost you will pay for the parts under the bed. We can say it looks wonderful visually.
2. By using a bedroom Rug set, you can lay Rugs both in front of the bed and on the sides of the bed, thus enjoying the pleasure of stepping on soft surfaces while paying less compared to the first option.
3. For a minimalist bedroom design, you can lay a Rug asymmetrically (for example diagonally) in front of the bed or to one side of the bed, and use the Rug as a simple and elegant accessory.

How to Plan a Budget When Choosing a Bedroom Rug?

The biggest advantage of being careful about the numerical size of the Rug is that you can easily buy an object produced to make you feel good without straining your budget. Having information about Rug prices will make it easier for you to start making a choice and help you plan your budget. We recommend checking prices before bedroom decoration. Because since the Rug is usually laid last, it will be useful to have information about prices from the beginning to avoid the regret of "this Rug is very beautiful, I wish I could lay it but I spent my budget on other expenses" and not laying a Rug that you are not really satisfied with.

How Much Should You Spend on a Bedroom Rug?

There is no right approach in the budget part of the Rug, as in every aspect. As Halıcızade, we can share the opinion we give to our visitors with you. "Buy your Rug without straining your budget." Laying a Rug that does not create a burden feeling on your bank account or credit card statement will be appropriate both for the Rug's function and its philosophy. Once you find the Rug you love and it fits your budget, you are the luckiest.

How to Clean and Care for a Bedroom Rug?

The bedroom is one of the easiest places for Rug cleaning. It neither gets heavy traffic, nor is there much chance of stepping with shoes or spilling food residues on it. If your Rug can be washed in a washing machine, you can usually wash it at 30 degrees without using the spin cycle according to the washing instructions. Besides this, regular vacuuming and wiping in one direction at intervals will be sufficient. For more information, you can check our guide contents on how to wipe a Rug and how to wash a Rug.

Tips to Prevent the Rug from Collecting Dust and Stains

Vacuuming the Rug in one direction with the brushless flat parquet nozzle of your vacuum cleaner is beneficial for collecting dust. Also, we recommend vacuuming at the lowest setting on the high suction power vacuums recently released so that knots do not loosen and the Rug's own yarns are not damaged, ensuring long life.

Which Cleaning Materials Should Be Used for Rug Care?

We recommend the same magical ingredient for cleaning all Rugs. Wipe your Rug with white soap granules of classic, simplest, and natural content using a white cloth in the direction of your Rug's nap (the direction your hand moves easily). The second most important point to pay attention to is to rinse with a damp white cloth or towel after wiping to avoid leaving soap residue.
