Choosing A Bedroom Rug & Bedroom Size Guide

I’m starting to round up some of my most frequently asked questions. First, rugs size.

You want to make choices that you’ll love for a long time and it can be really hard to shop online.

Here were some of the most frequently asked questions you all had about choosing bedroom rug.

Ideally, you want a couple of feet one each size of the bed so that when you get out of the bed, you step onto rug.

How do you know what size to get?

  • Usually you will want a bigger rug than you think you need. Maybe that’s because I’m cheap and the lower price is appealing.

  • In most rooms, you want the front legs of the furniture to size on the rug, but not run into the walls.

Here are some guidelines…

However, often there is a unique problem in your room.

  • Long room - we have a long bedroom and I didn’t want the sitting chair to feel like it was floating alone. I love the layered rug look and decided to try it here. Links to these items.

  • Alternatively - before that I had just used one small rug on the side, which is a great option to save money too since this rug is a lot smaller.

  • We also had too narrow of a room and could not fit much of a rug. We ran the rug long ways and used a pretty small rug because the room was so narrow.
