Getting the perfect rug under your queen bed can make a big difference in the look of your bedroom. What size rug should you buy for use under a queen bed?
Usually, a queen bed should have an 8x10-foot rug nearby. Measuring this large gives the rug several feet of space outside the bed, so you get a comfortable, even frame and landing spot for your feet. For small bedrooms with limited space, a 6x9 foot rug should fit perfectly.
Right rugs are defined by their size and their placement; choosing wisely can aid in the room’s coziness, reduce noise and help create its overall atmosphere. In this guide, we’ll teach you how to arrange your bedroom rug, offer suggestions for different positions and share ideas for using your rug.
How to Place the Bedroom Carpet
Getting your rug in the right spot will make your queen bed area more beautiful and welcoming. Here are a few tips to help you get the best position for your rug.
Consider the Bed Dimensions
A standard king bed is 60 inches wide and about 80 inches long. Align your rug with the size of your room to keep it looking right.
- Make sure there is at least 18-24 inches of rug extra beyond the bed’s sides and foot.
- The rug for an 8x10 feet space should begin about 12 inches from the headboard and reach about 24 inches beyond the foot.
Start With Centering the Rug
Balance out the surface by centering the rug under the bed. This position makes everything tie together and helps set apart where you sleep. Make sure that the rug is visible in all corners and centered on the length and width of the area.
Balance with Other Furniture
When placing your rug, remember to position it near bedside tables, benches or dressers. You can have the rug start beneath your furniture groups or place it within your area and style for your room and its shape.
Maintain Walking Space
Position your rug so it doesn’t create a bump for anyone walking in the area. Be sure to have some clear and exposed flooring along the way, especially when your bedroom leads to either closets or bathrooms.
Layering Rugs for Style
A small patterned rug laid over a neutral base rug can help add a unique touch to the room.
The Location of the Bedroom Carpet
How you arrange your rug next to your queen bed can improve both style and functionality. The following describes popular ways to place rugs, along with the positives and situations where they are best for each style.
1. Rug Fully Under the Bed
As you put it, the rug is spread all the way under both the bed and all the around furniture. Both ends of the rug go beyond the foot and the sides of the bed, starting just below the headboard.
Benefits:
- Gives a contextual and united style to the layout
- Enhances comfort when you wake up and walk out of bed
- If you have a big bedroom, this type of rug looks best with a large, generous size.
Best For:
- Spacious master bedrooms
- Bedside tables that go with the style of your rug
- Homes where you prefer a sound-absorbing material below your furniture
2. Rug Partially Under the Bed
The rug is only put underneath the bottom two-thirds of the bed and goes beyond the sides and foot, while the headboard is not covered.
Benefits:
- They are more easily affordable since you need a small rug.
- Makes the area underfoot more comfortable.
- The rug is simpler to clean because it isn’t hidden under furniture.
Best For:
- Medium-sized bedrooms
- Areas where you place your bed close to the walls or a door
- Those who want their bed area to feel warm but don’t want a large rug under the whole bed
3. Runner Rugs on Each Side
Rather than one big rug, use two runners, one on each side of your bed.
Benefits:
- Supplies cushioning on each side without covering the entire area
- Perfect for use in limited or tight spaces
- It is simpler to clean the individual sections of a split runner system.
Best For:
- Spaces that have hardwood or tile floors but don’t call for a big rug.
- A basic setup in the bedroom with only furniture beside the bed
- Anyone who prefers some warmth under their feet but doesn’t need much outdoor protection
4. Rug Only at the Foot of the Bed
A rug placed only at the foot of the bed will both look nice and feel warm and won’t cover the rest of the floor.
Benefits:
- This style goes easy on your space and your wallet.
- Provides a design feature, plus floors are shielded from foot traffic
Best For:
- Small bedrooms
- People who only want something to add to the décor
- Rooms with very little floor space.
