7 Versatile Bedroom Rug Ideas - Ideal for Any Size Bedroom

Alongside making your bedroom a warm and inviting room to sleep in, it’s equally important to make sure it looks warm and inviting and rugs are one of the best ways to achieve that. As suppliers of bedroom rugs, we’ve helped customers transform their bedrooms with shag rugs, flatweave rugs, and patterned rugs in both small bedrooms and large master bedrooms.

Everyone has different interior design plans for their bedroom, some might prefer a subtle decor and therefore want a neutral bedroom rug, whereas other people may require a larger rug with louder colours to act as a focal point of the bedroom.

Whatever your plans for your bedroom, our seven-bedroom rug ideas should help serve as inspiration. Alternatively, you can explore our wide range of bedroom floor rugs on our bedroom rug collection now.

1. A Neutral Bedroom Rug

Ideal for: small bedrooms, large bedrooms, master bedrooms, and light interior design schemes

The best material for this bedroom rug idea: Heatset Polypropylene, Polypropylene,

Preferred pile height: 6-8mm

Neutral bedroom rug ideas usually adopt light and airy colour tones, something that complements the existing decor of the bedroom. However, you will want to combine the neutral colour with a lighter bedroom rug material, such as polypropylene

Take note of the colour of your bedroom and try to match your bedroom rug to this scheme. For example, if your bedroom is predominantly white or cream with a wooden floor, a cream, white or even pale blue rug would work well with the design/.

2. Wooly Bedroom Rugs

Ideal for: large bedrooms, master bedrooms, and homes without pets (or keep them away from wooly rugs)

The best material for this bedroom rug idea: Cotton, wool, acrylic

Preferred pile height: 8-10+mm

Arguably one of the most timeless rug designs, shaggy or wooly rugs are a common addition to any big or small bedroom. Nothing feels nicer than waking up and placing your feet on a cushioned wooly area rug. Wooly rugs are without a doubt the best bedroom rug idea if you’re prioritising comfort.

We sell wooly rugs in all sizes, so whether you’re looking for a small area rug to place near your bed, or something much larger to span across your master bedroom, we have sizes to suit all. Again, choose a colour that compliments your bedroom’s interior design, as wooly rugs rarely come in patterned designs.

3. Beach Vibes in the Bedroom

Ideal for: small or large woody bedrooms, bedrooms with lots of natural light, airy neutral interior design all round

The best material for this bedroom rug idea: Polypropylene, sisal, wool

Preferred pile height: 6-8mm or flatweave

If your bedroom adopts a coastal or beach-based design, you want a rug that compliments that design. We’d recommend a neutral coloured flat weave that runs underneath your bed and sticks out by about a metre. This way, you wake up onto the rug and it centres your bed in a nice way. If your bed is white oak, we’d go for an earthy or beige colour, if it’s dark wood, we’d opt for a cream or even pale blue flatweave. Stick to simple, neutral colours for beach-tone bedrooms.

4. Traditional Bedroom Rugs

Ideal for: large bedrooms, traditional style bedrooms, neutral interior design so the rug stands out

The best material for this bedroom rug idea: Polypropylene, heatset polypropylene sisal, wool

Traditional rugs can range from Persian and Moroccan to medallion rugs. This bedroom rug idea works well if you’re looking to make the rug a focal point of the room or to match your interior design elements. Dark reds and maroon colours are popular in traditional rugs and go well with light airy colour schemes as well as dark, warm tones.

Whether you're looking to add some character to a plain room or to enhance a rich room with a timeless traditional rug, we know we have something for you in our bedroom rug range.

5. Bold & Brave Bedroom Rugs

For the brave interior designer, why not consider a bright and bold bedroom rug? Perfect if you’re bedroom already dons a lot of colour, a bold bedroom rug is only going to enhance its appearance.

However, be sure to take note of what dominant colours are present in your bedroom, because you will want your bedroom rug to complement, not clash with your colour scheme. Black and white geometric designs are very popular because of their versatility in most bedrooms. We’d also recommend going bigger with your bold rug, so if your master bedroom is a decent size, consider this.

Going back to a warm and inviting bedroom rug idea brings us to soft toned rugs. Soft tone rugs go with pretty much any bedroom floor because of how versatile they are. You can either opt for a neutral block colour or go for something a little more quirky, like the one we’ve included here.

The aim of soft tone rugs is to create a calm, welcoming bedroom.

7. Bohemian Bedroom Rugs

Ideal for: large and small bedrooms, vibrant coloured rooms or plain rooms to help the boho rug stand out

The best material for this bedroom rug idea: Acrylic pile, polypropylene

Preferred pile height: 6-8mm

As the name suggests, this bedroom rug idea focuses on transforming your bedroom into a bohemian bunker. Bedroom floors looking to add a dash of colour will benefit from a bohemian-style rug. They’re surprisingly versatile in bedrooms that are predominantly white or oak-based, so shop around and experiment with our bohemian bedroom rugs to see which one will look best on your bedroom floor.

Remember to Consider Rug Placement

Something you should consider when buying a bedroom rug is rug placement. Measure your bedroom before considering rug placement and have an idea of where your rug is going to be placed. Larger bedrooms and big master bedrooms look great with large area rugs positioned under the bed frame and poking out at all ends. Whereas smaller bedrooms may benefit from one or more smaller rugs positioned near the bed or further away next to a dresser or desk to help separate the room a bit more.

We also have articles on rug placement in the living room as well as kitchen rug ideas.
