A round rug under bed is an excellent way to add texture, dimension, and warmth to your bedroom. They come in various sizes, materials, and colors so you can find one that complements both your space and style.
When selecting a rug to go under your mattress, it should extend 18 to 24 inches beyond its edges. You can opt for larger rugs if desired, however this will increase cost and take up additional floor space.
When selecting a rug size for your room, the dimensions and furniture layout should be taken into account. According to Rachel Radon from The Decorologist website, an 8 x 10 foot rug works great under a queen-sized bed as it will fit neatly under all legs.
For smaller bedrooms, a 5' x 7' rug is an ideal option. This size allows your bed to move around freely and the rug provides somewhere for your feet when getting out of bed.
Another option is installing a runner under your bed, which can save money and prevent overcrowding in the space. You can use one runner for both sides of your bed or just one, creating an overall more cohesive aesthetic throughout all areas.
According to Zara O'Hare, interior designer for Homepolish, the length of your runner should match the width of your bed and be placed so there is an equal distance between its edge and that of the bed. This will create a feeling of openness in the room as well as create continuity in design elements, says O'Hare.
Though not widely used, round or elliptical rugs under your bed can add an elegant and balanced aesthetic. A circular or elliptical rug will typically be longer in size than rectangular rugs and give your room a more organic, relaxed vibe.
King-sized beds make for the ideal focal point, and king-sized round rugs can add an elegant touch to your room. Not only do they fit comfortably into most beds, but you can pair them with various other pieces of furniture to create an eye-catching design.
Use a faux pelt rug to add texture and interest to your bedroom. While it won't fit under nightstands, this rug creates an eye-catching contrast beneath your square bed.
A 12' round rug is a luxurious option for larger bedrooms. Center it under more than half of the bed and fill it with cushions to create an inviting atmosphere.
To get an accurate vision of how your bed and rug will appear in the room, try placing blue painter's tape around the area. This is a cost-effective, fast way to test out furniture placement and area rugs before investing in anything else.
