But there\u2019s one item a bedroom needs to make it truly feel like a warm, soft sanctuary, and that\u2019s a rug. Not only is a rug practical if your floors are cold, but it\u2019s also a great way to add aesthetic value to your sleeping space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephanie Lindsey, principal designer of&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/etchinteriordesign.com\/\">Etch Design Group<\/a>, says rugs are wonderful for bedrooms for all sorts of reasons\u2014they add interest, texture, and can unify the space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, though, rugs promote tranquility. \u201cRugs are comfortable to the touch, help warm chilly hardwood floors, and even help reduce noise,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019re wondering, \u201cWhat is a good size rug for a bedroom?\u201d Ahead, we\u2019ll answer your question by explaining how to choose the best size rug for your bedroom, depending on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/guide-to-mattress-dimensions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">size of your mattress<\/a>. We&#8217;re also addressing frequently asked questions about bedroom rugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-best-size-rug-for-a-bedroom\">What\u2019s the best size rug for a bedroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s a standard-size rug for a bedroom? It turns out there isn\u2019t really a standard size at all. It simply comes down to choosing a rug size that complements the size of your bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most popular bedroom rug sizes you can find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5\u2019 x 7\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8\u2019 x 10\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9\u2019 x 12\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-rug-sizes-for-king-beds\">The best rug sizes for king beds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, a&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/king-size-bed-dimensions\/\">king-size bed<\/a>&nbsp;may require a rug on the larger side to look correct in the room and to fit underneath the bed correctly. If the rug is too small, it&#8217;ll look engulfed by the bed that\u2019s resting on top of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsey says that oftentimes, people tend to choose rugs that are \u201cmuch too small\u201d for a sizeable bedroom with a king bed\u2014and this can make the entire room seem off-kilter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She recommends going with a large rug at 9\u2019 x 12\u2019 with a profile that will fit the bottom two-thirds of a king bed. This is the most visually pleasing setup in a bedroom with a king bed. (Here&#8217;s&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/how-to-layer-rugs\/\">how to layer rugs in your bedroom<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-rug-sizes-for-queen-beds\">The best rug sizes for queen beds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there are those beds that land in the middle range of sizes\u2014<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/queen-size-bed-dimensions\/\">queen-size beds<\/a>. You won\u2019t need a rug as large as one to adequately fit a king bed, so you\u2019ll be going down a size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don\u2019t go too small\u2014you\u2019ll run into the same problem that could happen with a king bed. A too-small rug won\u2019t look right with a queen bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake sure the rug is large enough,\u201d Lindsey says. \u201cWe recommend 8\u2019 x 10\u2019 rugs in spaces like this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-rug-sizes-for-full-beds\">The best rug sizes for full beds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/full-size-bed-dimensions\/\">full-size bed<\/a>, which is sized between a queen bed and a twin bed, can present its own challenges. A large rug may overwhelm it, but a small rug may still be too small for the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a look that feels right in a room with a full bed, Lindsey recommends a 6\u2019 x 9\u2019 area rug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-size-rug-for-twin-beds\">The best size rug for twin beds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of a room with a&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/twin-bed-dimensions\/\">twin-size bed<\/a>, which may be occupied by one of your children, it takes a little more planning and taking the layout into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe correct rug size here depends on the layout of the room,\u201d Lindsey says. \u201cAre there multiple twin beds in the space\u2014or just one? Would you like the rug to go beneath a nightstand and bench at the foot of the bed or just the lower two-thirds?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;&nbsp;9\u2019 x 12\u2019 rug would fit two twin beds comfortably, says Lindsey, while a 5\u2019 x 7\u2019 rug would be suitable for covering the flooring at the lower two-thirds of the bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"saatva-product-slider bg-fuscous-gray text-white\">\n            <p class=\"bg-makara p-4 text-center\">Find stylish, high-quality bedroom rugs at Saatva<\/p>\n    \n            <div\n            class=\"focus:!outline-0\"\n            data-flickity=\"{&quot;wrapAround&quot;:true,&quot;pageDots&quot;:true,&quot;adaptiveHeight&quot;:true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;:false,&quot;autoPlay&quot;:5000}\"\n        >\n                            \n                <div>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/kanan-bedroom-rug\" class=\"block\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kanan-rug-1024x515.jpg\" class=\"w-full aspect-video object-cover wp-post-image\" alt=\"saatva kanan rug\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kanan-rug-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kanan-rug-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kanan-rug-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kanan-rug-1536x773.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/kanan-rug.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n                    <\/a>\n\n                    <div\n                        class=\"rich-text-level p-8 lg:text-base\"\n                        style=\"--spacing-rhythm: 0.75em\"\n                    >\n                        <h4>\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\/kanan-bedroom-rug\">Kanan Rug<\/a>\n                        <\/h4>\n\n                        \n<p>Add richness and dimension to any room with the handwoven Kanan rug.

Lindsey says a 5\u2019 x 7\u2019 rug only looks correct if it\u2019s in a bedroom housing a twin bed. \u201cRugs should match the size of the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/furniture\">furniture<\/a>&nbsp;in the room,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-big-should-a-rug-be-in-proportion-to-a-room\">How big should a rug be in proportion to a room?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While a small room calls for a small bed and rug, a large room calls for a large bed and rug, which makes perfect sense.
