Where to put a rug in the bedroom
There are three classic ways to place bedroom rugs, and the right one depends on the size of your room and bed.
- Under the bed: a large rug sits under the bottom two-thirds of the bed, leaving the bedside tables on the floor and a soft border either side to step onto.
- Bedside rugs: a pair of small rugs or runners, one on each side, is ideal when the bed is pushed close to a wall or the room is small.
- Foot of the bed: a rug across the end of the bed frames it and softens the walkway to the wardrobe.
Rug size by bed size
| Bed | Under the bed | Bedside rugs or runners |
|---|---|---|
| Single (90 x 190 cm) | 120 x 170 cm, laid across the lower half | 60 x 110 cm or 80 x 150 cm |
| Double (135 x 190 cm) | 160 x 230 cm, laid sideways | 60 x 180 cm or 66 x 200 cm runners |
| King (150 x 200 cm) | 200 x 290 cm | 66 x 200 cm or 60 x 230 cm runners |
| Super king (180 x 200 cm) | 200 x 290 cm or 240 x 340 cm | 60 x 230 cm runners |
Aim for at least 40 to 60 cm of rug showing on each side of the bed so your feet land on something soft. Not every design comes in every size, so check the options on each product page. For runners on their own, see bedroom runners, and for bigger sizes see large bedroom rugs.
Soft textures for bedrooms
| Texture | Range | What it feels like | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short faux fur | Cosset | Velvety, dense, rabbit-style fur with a soft sheen, in ten shades | £48 |
| 3D carved shaggy | Sculpt | Glossy medium-long shag with raised, carved pattern | £54 |
| Carved fluffy shaggy | Groove | Deep, glossy long pile with carved retro bands | £158 |
| Lustrous textured | Belgravia | A shiny raised pattern over a matte low ground | £62 |
| Low vintage pile | Folklore, Heirloom | Flatter, washed traditional designs that sit neatly under a bed frame | £29 |
Fluffy and faux fur rugs feel lovely underfoot but suit bedside spots best, where they are not crushed by bed legs. A low-pile rug is the practical choice under the bed itself. See all our fluffy bedroom rugs for more deep-pile options.
Colours for a calm bedroom
| Rug colour | Pairs well with |
|---|---|
| Cream, white and beige | Pale wood, white bedding, linen; brightens a small bedroom |
| Grey and charcoal | White or grey walls, velvet headboards, brushed metal |
| Blush pink | Warm white, sage green, brass |
| Blue and navy | Crisp white bedding, oak furniture |
| Mustard | Grey walls and navy accents, for warmth without busy pattern |
Soft, muted shades help a bedroom feel restful. If you love pattern, a faded vintage design keeps colour gentle. Browse grey bedroom rugs or pink bedroom rugs.
Rugs on bedroom carpet and hard floors
A bedroom rug adds warmth and helps soften sound on boards or laminate, which is welcome in flats and upstairs rooms. On hard floors, use a good rug underlay to help keep the rug in place. Over carpet, a low-pile rug sits flattest.
Caring for bedroom rugs
Vacuum regularly on a low setting, without a beater bar on faux fur and shaggy rugs; shake small bedside rugs outdoors now and then. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth and spot clean gently with cold water and a little mild detergent. Avoid soaking, and use a professional rug cleaner for a deeper clean.
Bedroom Rugs rugs: your questions answered
What size rug goes under a double bed?
A 160 x 230 cm rug laid sideways under the lower two-thirds of a double bed gives a soft border on each side. For a king or super king bed, choose 200 x 290 cm.
Should a rug go under the bed or beside it?
Both work. A large rug under the bed suits bigger rooms, while a pair of bedside rugs or runners is better when the bed is against a wall or the room is small.
What is the softest bedroom rug?
For pure softness, choose Cosset short faux fur or a shaggy design such as Sculpt or Groove. They are best beside the bed, where bed legs will not flatten the pile.
Can I put a rug on bedroom carpet?
Yes. A low-pile rug sits flattest over carpet and adds colour and pattern. Very deep shaggy rugs can move about on carpet, so they suit hard floors better.
How do I clean a bedroom rug?
Vacuum regularly on a low setting and avoid beater bars on faux fur and shaggy rugs. Blot spills straight away and spot clean gently with cold water and a little mild detergent.
Can I use a bedroom rug with underfloor heating?
Use an underlay made for underfloor heating and check your heating manufacturer's guidance before laying any rug.
Is delivery free, and can I return a bedroom rug?
Delivery is free to UK addresses on every bedroom rug, and you have free 14-day returns if it is not right for your room.
