10 cozy flooring styles for your room |

Bedroom carpet ideas are an essential part of making your sleep space feel like the sanctuary it needs to be after a long day. 

Focusing on the soft furnishings among your bedroom ideas is crucial the success of any scheme, but the importance of the room’s carpet can often get forgotten amid the emphasis on comfortable bedding and cosseting curtains. 

As the first surface you feel when getting out of bed in the morning, bedroom flooring ideas aren't just about aesthetics – getting the feel of a bedroom carpet right is hugely important, while its look can completely transform a design scheme.

‘Your carpet is the perfect place to start when creating a cozy bedroom space,’ says Jodie Hatton, Residential Design Manager at Brintons . ‘The texture of wool underfoot coupled with a warm color or welcoming pattern makes it the perfect base upon which to shape a comfortable and inviting interior scheme.’

Bedroom carpet ideas

From tactile piles and luxurious materials, to energizing patterns and calming colors, we asked the experts to share their top carpet ideas for a perfectly plush start to the day in the bedroom.

1. Choose wool for hardwearing luxury

‘Wool floor coverings are ideal for bedrooms as they are hardwearing and soft underfoot,’ says Jenna Kane, Product Development Lead at Kersaint Cobb . 

The durability of wool makes it a good choice for high traffic areas and is popular for living room carpet ideas too, but it comes with extra benefits that really help in bedrooms. 

‘As a natural fibre, wool is also breathable and it will be warm in the winter but remain cool in the summer,’ adds Kane. ‘Incorporating wool into your scheme can offer a selection of benefits, including being a natural insulator and a great way to absorb noise to keep rooms peaceful.’ 

‘Wool is the ultimate sustainable choice for flooring,’ adds Hatton. ‘It insulates your home, it's easily recyclable and biodegradable, plus shearing sheep is essential for their welfare.’

2. Create an elegant, calming space with neutrals

‘In any interior scheme, decorating with neutral colors and the comforting texture of carpet brings a feeling of softness and calm,’ says Hatton. ‘These are best suited to rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as a bedroom or living room, where relaxing is key to creating a happy space.’ 

Neutral room ideas, including a warm grey carpet with a slight lustre, have been employed deftly in this project by Millier . ‘The careful combination of muted colors, complimented by striking reflective accents, breaks any rigidity of form to achieve a fresh, international look for the discerning homeowner,’ says Helen Westlake, Creative Director at Millier. ‘We designed the main bedroom suite as a haven of tranquillity, with an opulent full height velvet headboard as the centrepiece. The neutral colored carpet and luxurious fabrics such as cashmere complete the elegant feel of the room.’

3. Don't be afraid of pattern

If you want to inject a characterful punch of pattern into your space, bedroom wallpaper ideas aren't the only way to go. 

‘Patterned flooring is a versatile option,’ explains Hatton. ‘For many years plain carpet has been the carpet of choice, however recently we are seeing a return to the patterned styles in on trend colors. At Brintons we are seeing a resurgence in classic patterns and prints such as tartans and plaids, which create a warm, cosy feeling.’ 

In this bedroom designed by Liz Caan for her son, a grey and black tartan carpet is a mature addition to the energetically maximalist scheme. While in this context it seems somewhat demure, a pattern like this can add sophisticated interest to simpler rooms. 

4. Make a small bedroom feel bigger with pale colors and stripes 

(Image credit: Kersaint Cobb)

Looking for small bedroom ideas that make your space feel bigger? A pale carpet or one with an illusion-inducing pattern should be at the top of your list. 

‘Soft, pale colored flooring brightens up a small area, creating the illusion of space and gives a light, airy look,’ says Kane. ‘Stripes add visual interest to the floor and for those tight on space, it is worth remembering that linear stripes can help to enlarge the appearance of a room. Striped flooring is also ideal in high traffic areas of a busy home as it will withstand the effects of dirt and wear better than plain and flat single color flooring.’

5. Add interest to a neutral carpet with texture

Even simple bedroom ideas will need to keep you visually interested and make you feel cozy in their clutches. If you’re opting for a neutral carpet in a similarly pared-back room, think about picking a more tactile pile, like berber, loop or Saxony. 

‘The texture of the carpet is also key to preventing the overall neutral scheme from looking flat,’ says Hatton. ‘Where an alternative bedroom flooring like wood or tiles might make a room feel stark and bare, a soft woven wool carpet, layered with accessories in cashmere, mohair and linen will all work to soften a look to create an inviting space.’

6. Layer up with rugs

If you’re looking for the coziness of carpet without the commitment, consider opting for a large scale bedroom rug ideas instead. ‘Adding warmth to a bedroom with wooden floors, the addition of a rug will provide welcoming comfort whilst creating dimension to the space,’ says Tasha Green, Director of Weaver Green . ‘Think about combining a rug with a bold color that shares or compliments the color of your surrounding accessories for a lovely focal point.’ 

Just like with living room rug ideas, placing a rug on top of a wooden floor will add much needed snugness, but layering up on top of carpet will take it to the next level. 

‘Rugs offer a chance to inject a little personality into a room so don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles, sizes and shape and find what works for you and your space,’ adds Rhiannon Phillips, a Buyer for Carpetright , specializing in rugs. 

7. Choose dark, warm colors for a cozy space

Dark bedroom ideas are trending right now – so consider getting your carpet involved in the action too. Dark colored carpets can help make a large bedroom feel more intimate, while choosing a shade with warm tones will emphasize the sense of being cosseted by the space.  

‘Deep and rich colored carpets will make a room feel more cozy and can be particularly effective in high traffic areas where dirt can become an issue,’ says Kane. ‘Warmer tonal flooring can help create a more inviting appearance in the home, whilst adding a real designer touch.’

8. Get an organic look with natural fibres

 The use of raw, natural materials is another growing trend across all parts of the home, and it is possible to include them in your bedroom carpet ideas too. For an organic effect, explore sustainable natural fibre carpets. 

‘Sisal and seagrass have smooth fibres and offer a crisp, neat effect,’ advises Kane. ‘Jute is the softest of the natural floorcoverings, giving a comfortable feel underfoot. However, it is less hardwearing and more absorbent.’

While more popular among staircase carpet ideas, these carpets can be paired with crisp whites for a light, beachy feel, or create an all-encompassing nod to the natural world when paired with greens.

If you’ve decided to be brave with your bedroom color ideas, that doesn’t mean your chromatic focus has to be on the walls. Invert the classic combination of bold walls and a neutral carpet with a dramatically colorful carpet choice. 

‘For the really bold, try experimenting with color with a vibrant carpet for a real style statement,’ says Kane. ‘Think about making the carpet the base of your design scheme, complement the colorful flooring with a more neutral palette for furniture and accessories to create a modern look.’

10. Get on trend with herringbone weaves 

(Image credit: Brintons)

Zig zag-like herringbone patterns are making waves all over the home, from blankets to parquet floors, bedding to bathroom tiling. For a contemporary look in a modern bedroom design scheme, apply this pointed pattern to your bedroom carpet too. The motif also works really well in hallway carpet ideas, not only giving a playful, directional effect, but helping to hide myriad sins.  

‘Patterns are perfect for high-traffic areas, where dust and dirt are repeatedly trodden into the carpet,’ says Hatton. ‘We use an Axminster construction for our patterned carpets as this creates superior definition and creates a longer-lasting carpet.’

What color carpet is best for bedrooms?

A bedroom’s prime function as a space of relaxation means that muted neutrals are consistently popular among carpet colors for sleep spaces. For a contemporary take, consider grey. 

‘Grey has consistently been one of the most popular home decorating shades over the last decade, and it shows no sign of slowing down any time soon,’ says Punam Chada, a Buyer at Carpetright. ‘It is often the go-to for wall color, but we have also seen this trend reflected in our flooring choices. Given that the bedroom is our sanctuary, a calm space where we retreat to for rest, recuperation and to recover, it’s no surprise that this soothing neutral hue is our go-to color choice. Offering sophistication and versatility, grey works well as a neutral base, creating a warm or cool aesthetic, depending on the undertone of the chosen shade. ’ 

Paler shades of any color will help make the room feel bigger, while darker colors will emphasize a sense of intimacy. Look for shades with warm undertones to make your carpet feel even cozier. 

What carpet pile is best for bedrooms? 

Due to its myriad benefits, wool is a perennially favored material for bedroom carpets. 

‘Carpets can be made from either wool or man-made materials,’ explains Hatton. ‘Wool-rich carpets are known for their quality because they are highly durable, which helps maintain their appearance. Wool provides luxury underfoot and helps to insulate your home for warmth and comfort. It absorbs sound to give a sense of calm and tranquillity. It is naturally fire resistant and fall-friendly for little ones.’ 

‘The bedroom should be a sanctuary to escape to at the end of the day, so softer carpets, such as Saxony styles, are a good choice,’ says Chada. Velvet carpets also offer that softness, but if you expect your bedroom to see a high degree of foot traffic, choose something more hardwearing like loop, twist or berber styles.  

‘As bedrooms are a place to relax, harder carpets, such as sisal or seagrass matting, are considered by many as less comfortable so should be avoided, unless they help to achieve a specific look,’ adds Chada.   

10 bedroom carpet ideas to make your space extra cozy

Bedroom carpet ideas, in fact really carpet in any room, has had a bit of a bad rap in recent years. There's just something about wall-to-wall carpet, everyone at one point was obsessed with ripping it up and dancing with excitement when it revealed 'rustic' wooden boards or original tiles. And if nothing worthy appeared under the carpets, down went the LVT or engineered wood. Carpet just wasn't an option.

Now we can understand carpet in a bathroom is something we hope never returns, but carpets in our comfier living spaces like living rooms and bedrooms is making a strong comeback. So to pay homage to this once shunned flooring choice's resurgence we've rounded up all our favorite bedroom ideas that prove carpets are a stylish and cozy addition to your space.  

1. Keep it subtle and simple

See, carpets can be just as subtle and stylish as your whitewashed floorboards, plus they and a coziness and a softness underfoot you don't get with hard floors. If you are dubious about embracing wall-to-wall carpet pick a neutral color – whites, creams, light greys – they all add a calming feel and can be a backdrop for any color scheme too. And isn't it just so luxurious to have pale carpets? Sinking your feet into pale cushioned flooring is so reminiscent of hotel rooms.

'In any interior scheme, neutral colors and the comforting texture of carpet brings a feeling of softness and calm.' says Jodie Hatton of Brintons . 'These are best suited to rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as a bedroom, where relaxing is key to creating a happy space. The texture of the carpet is also key to preventing the overall neutral scheme from looking flat. Where an alternative flooring like wood or tiles might make a room feel stark and bare, a soft woven wool carpet, layered with accessories in cashmere, mohair, and linen will all work to soften a look to create an inviting space. '

2. Mix and match

And at the opposite end of the spectrum, carpets are ideal if you are a lover of maximalist interiors. Why ignore the floor when you are layering up patterns? It can add just as much pattern and texture as wallpaper and is the perfect place to introduce a clashing print. 

Jenna Kane, Product Developer at Kersaint Cobb says that 'statement flooring within bedrooms is being seen more and more, as the trend for teaming luxurious materials with vibrant hues increases in popularity. A deep, rich colored carpet is the perfect way to inject a touch of character.'

And this modern bedroom is definitely full of character. Covered literally floor to ceiling in House of Hackney prints it's the perfect example of carpets have shed their dated skin and can add so much interest and personality to a room.   

3. Choose a natural fibre carpet

Sisal carpets are about the only carpet material and style that has been acceptable in recent years. These on-trend natural fiber floorings look almost like large area rugs, adding just the right amount of texture and neutral tones for a room. They are simple, low-pile designs that are perfect for more minimalist or rustic bedrooms. And they are a practical choice too, perfect for high-traffic areas as they are hardwearing and stain-resistant.

If you want to add a touch more comfort underfoot try layering smaller, softer rugs either side of the bed. 

4. Turn your bedroom floor into art

We've all seen painterly rugs grace the floors (and even the walls) of stylish homes for years now and in the right setting these more statement, colorful designs can work just as well with fitted carpets. If you don't want a bold bedroom carpet to overwhelm the space, the key is to key the rest of the room minimal and monochrome.

Now, we aren't saying a faux sheep is minimal, but look at the rest of the space. The dusky pink from the carpet is used on the walls, for the curtains and the upholstery of the chaise. The space still feels calm and inviting, despite the brilliantly whacky carpet.

Plush carpets, the ones your toes disappear into, are perfect for a bedroom. A chunky loop or a thick velvet-like pile adds an instant luxurious feel to any space and again there's that hotel feel as you pad around your cushy floors. 

When it comes to color, solid is best with thicker carpets. And you can't go wrong with an ever-popular neutral like grey. As Jemma Dayman of Carpetright says 'Given that the bedroom is our sanctuary, a calm space where we retreat to for rest, recuperation and to recover, it’s no surprise that this soothing neutral hue is our go-to color choice. Offering sophistication and versatility, grey works well as a neutral base, creating a warm or cool aesthetic, depending on the undertone of the chosen shade. Not only does a good quality grey carpet create a calming feel in a bedroom, but it also a durable flooring option that will stand the test of time in terms of style and wear. '

And by opting for such a timeless neutral color for your bedroom flooring, you can refresh the scheme as often as your tastes and trends change.

6. Fake a carpet with a large area rug

So you ripped up your bedroom carpet already and now you want back in on the trend. Or if you rent and want to cover up some inherited flooring. Area rugs are the way. Big big rugs that go underneath all of your furniture and almost touch the sides of the room will create the look of wall-to-wall carpet with you having to commit to having it fitted. Add to the allusion by layering rugs on top of your larger rug just as you would a carpet.

'If you are looking for an easier alternative to a full carpet install, layering a couple of rugs in your bedroom will work a treat as another option. Stylistically and while still adding the ultimate cozy feel, layering rugs look beautiful and give people the opportunity to integrate varying colors and patterns into their bedroom scheme to create something new and unique. ' says Noemie Deed Founder of Cosy Coco . 'In terms of practicality, it’s equally effective in the bedroom for underfoot comfort and warmth as you can position the rugs around the foot and edges of your bed. All-in-all, a simple, beautiful substitute to permanent carpeted flooring.'

7. Switch wallpaper for a patterned carpet

See your flooring as a fifth wall, somewhere you can add color and pattern, and texture in a less obvious, more interesting way. So instead of opting for bedroom wallpaper, keep your walls simple and add a mural on the floor. It sounds dramatic, but just look at this bedroom carpet idea. The minimal grey walls make room for the patterned floor, and there's a cohesiveness here too so the look doesn't feel too bold. 

8. Go bold with colorful zig zags

How cute is this fun zig-zag carpet? Sometimes going for something unexpected with your bedroom carpet can give a quirky edge to an otherwise quite classic scheme. See how this space feels classic and traditional with its grey walls, simple headboard, and layers of beautiful bed linen, and then there's that flash of zig-zag that feels out of place and yet totally works. 

Try this out in a small bedroom where you don't have a sea of flooring visible so you just catch pockets of the bold pattern. And keep it cohesive, pick a colorway that's mirrored in the rest of the decor. 

9. Add warmth to a cool toned color scheme

A black and white bedroom color scheme is a classic, but this cool-toned combination does risk leaving a bedroom feeling cold and stark.  An easy way to counteract that, without interfering with the minimal palette too much, is to add a wall-to-wall carpet in a softer, neutral tone. A cream, or even beige, carpet will add that hint of a pink tone to bring some warmth into the room and you can always enhance my adding in a few cushions or soft furnishings in a similar shade. 

10.

Blend your bedroom carpet with the walls

(Image credit: James Merrell)

Speaking of beige carpets, they were once dreaded by new homeowners and renters alike. It was the color choice of all landlords and every 70s renovation, and yet as we all know, beige has made a comeback, so we say it's time to embrace beige carpets too. 

A very chic way to do beige is to go all over with it, walls, ceilings, and floors, so choose a bedroom carpet that's going to blend seamlessly in with your walls. As this bedroom carpet idea proves the effect creates a very cozy, cocooning space that's perfect for a sleep space. You can always break up the wall-to-wall beige by adding pops of brighter colors for contrast. 

What's the best color for a bedroom carpet?

The best color for bedroom carpets will depend on the overall look you are after and your lifestyle too. If your bedroom is well used by yourself, animals and children we'd say avoid any lighter shades and instead opt for dark tones like grey and blue as they will cover a multitude of sins.  

But if your bedroom is a sanctuary used only for sleeping, there's nothing quite like a plush white or cream carpet to add a luxurious feel. If you are concerned about wear and tear you could always add a couple of small rugs on either side of the bed, or in areas that see the most footfall. 

What's the best material for bedroom carpets?

Again, the best material depends on your style, who uses the room, and how often. Jenna Kane recommends wool carpets for bedrooms 'they are ideal for bedrooms as they are hardwearing and soft underfoot. As a natural fiber, wool is also breathable, it will be warm in the winter but remain cool in the summer. The best floor coving in a bedroom is something that offers comfort, serenity, and is soft and calming.'

Low pile carpets like sisal and jute can work really well in a bedroom too, and more streamlined, minimalist look as they are low pile. They aren't the comfiest underfoot, however, so be sure to throw down a few rugs too.  

Is carpet in a bedroom outdated?

Admittedly, the jury was out on this one, but after hunting through our archive and speaking to experts, we are pleased to report no, carpet in a bedroom is no longer outdated.

The carpet is an integral part of the bedroom, because it is in this room that we most of all need an atmosphere suitable for relaxation. Noise and heat insulation, creating comfort, combining interior elements into a harmonious visual composition, pleasant tactile sensations - all this is provided by the right carpet product. And then we will tell you what to focus on when choosing.

Since the bed is the central object in the bedroom, it usually sets the parameters for the rest of the interior elements. If the furniture has high legs, you can buy one large carpet. The size is calculated so that the edges of the product extend beyond the bed by 0.5-0.7 m from two to three sides. At the same time, the bedside tables can stand both on the carpet and on the floor area deprived of it at the head.

For a bed with low legs, it is better to choose a pair of bedside rugs. In this case, the size should be sufficient so that you can comfortably get out of bed and move around the room. It is worth considering: the smaller the bedroom itself, the larger the rugs needed. Small carpet products visually crush the area on which they are placed. The shape varies - from classic rectangular to elegant oval, round or semi-circular. If the style of the interior allows, rugs of an unusual shape are appropriate - in the form of a skin, a tree cut, a flower.

Choosing the right color and pattern is an interesting step, but it brings a lot of difficulty in finding the right option.

A light carpet visually enlarges the room, a dark carpet reduces it. In theory, this is understandable, but in practice, it is often difficult to choose a specific color.

The basic guideline is the color scheme of the walls and furniture:

  1. Bright colorful rug - a good option for a bedroom in both dark and light colors. But it should be borne in mind that a riot of colors on the bedroom floor is not recommended for people with an easily excitable nervous system.
  2. In a room decorated with bright eye-catching patterns, a plain carpet in a contrasting color will be appropriate.
  3. A square or rectangular carpet in discreet colors will help to emphasize the strict style.

Also an important guideline is the color of the flooring. A contrasting light carpet looks attractive on a dark floor. To cover light or natural shades, you should choose a harmoniously combined option - a carpet of the same color looks good, but differs by 2-3 tones. Other colors will be prompted by the color scheme of textiles in the interior - curtains, bedspreads, decorative pillows.

Carpets with complex detailed patterns are rarely chosen for the bedroom. An exception is the luxurious decoration of a room in a fabulous oriental or classic European style.

More popular and versatile options:

It is also important not only the appearance of the carpet, but also its texture. Therefore, plain shaggy rugs are popular, whose original and attractive design is due to the characteristic pile.

Since in the bedroom the carpet is usually subjected to the least mechanical stress, you can safely choose a long pile (more than 12 mm). Such a carpet product provides better noise and heat insulation, especially acrylic or wool. The cheaper option is made of polypropylene, it should be chosen with a pile of frieze thread or a hit set.

Carpets with an average pile height (6-12 mm) are more practical in everyday care than long pile ones. Many of them have a mixed composition - this allows you to reduce cost, improve design and properties.

However, you can also lay a low-pile rug (1-6 mm) or a lint-free mat - this option goes well with eclecticism or eco-style and is easy to care for everyday.

As you can see, it is not difficult to create coziness and harmonious space if you understand the criteria for choosing a carpet. And in the Kover-russia.ru online store you will find a variety of modern designs from manufacturers from all over the world!

The bedroom is an ideal room for carpet placement, because it is often walked barefoot, and the likelihood of planting a hard-to-remove stain is minimized. As a result, on the one hand, there is unlimited scope for imagination, on the other hand, confusion if you do not know how to choose and where to lay the carpet in the bedroom. We will talk about the choice and proper placement in this article.

The need for a carpet in the bedroom often causes controversy, but if its wall placement in a modern interior is not always appropriate, then the comfort of using bedside rugs is usually beyond doubt.

And if we talk about the functions of the floor carpet, then in the bedroom it provides:

An interesting fact: carpets are not only beautiful and functional, but also healthy.

Woolen carpets help maintain a stable microclimate in the room, and medium and long pile rugs, regardless of the pile material, also provide a massage effect for the feet when walking on them barefoot. In general, additional properties depend on the composition of the carpet.

All carpets are made from natural or synthetic materials, and the composition is monocomponent and mixed. Suitable options for the bedroom, we will consider further.

Natural - wool, cotton, fur, silk

Wool is the most popular natural material, although it is quite expensive. Woolen carpets are durable, retain heat best of all and have an elastic fluffy pile. They are appropriate in the bedroom due to the restrained palette of colors, which is due to the peculiarity of the woolen thread - it is difficult to dye in very bright colors. These carpets are valued for their ability to accumulate moisture when it is in excess in the air and give it away when it is deficient. Disadvantages of wool: demanding care and the likelihood of allergies in people prone to it. Manufacturers compensate for the first drawback by adding synthetics to the composition, the second - by impregnating the pile.

Cotton is an environmentally friendly material, hygroscopic and pleasant to the touch. Usually cotton carpets are used in children's rooms, but you can find interesting options for bedrooms. One has only to keep in mind that cotton carpets are not very durable, shrink after washing and quickly fade in direct sunlight.

Fur carpets are usually made from sheepskin, less often from goat and alpaca skins. Not technically woven rugs, these rugs are loved by fans of the exotic for their unusual designs and natural textures. But they also have a significant drawback - demanding care, otherwise they will quickly lose their attractiveness.

Silk is the most expensive natural material. Handmade carpets woven from it adorn the interior with an exquisite design. But due to the price and mediocre thermal insulation properties, silk rugs are rarely found in bedrooms.

Viscose is called artificial silk and is more often used in the bedroom, but it also provides poor heat and sound insulation. But the viscose carpet is similar to natural silk and is suitable for underfloor heating.

Synthetic materials - polypropylene, acrylic, nylon, polyester

Polypropylene carpets are popular due to their practicality, variety of colors and price range. And if hard rugs made of BCF polypropylene are not the best choice for a bedroom, then products with a hit-set or frieze pile will please not only with their design and cost, but also with the pleasant texture of an elastic pile.

Acrylic is visually and tactilely similar to natural wool and costs less than it, but at the same time it is more expensive than other types of synthetics. But if you want to decorate the bedroom with a beautiful and warm hypoallergenic rug, then you will like the option with acrylic pile.

Nylon is commonly woven into low-pile carpets, notable for their durability and pleasant velvety texture. And this is a universal choice in a situation if you prefer to walk around the room in slippers and barefoot.

Abrasion resistant and polyester. Unpretentious in everyday life and diverse in design, polyester rugs have a good price-life ratio, so long pile designs are often used to decorate bedrooms.

Shape and size are important characteristics of a rug, along with material and color, and together they affect the perception of a rug in a bedroom space.

Size selection

By size, all carpets are divided into three groups - small (up to 3 m²), medium (3-6 m²) and large (from 6 m²). The appropriate size of carpet depends on where you plan to install it.

Small rugs often draw attention to a separate area and create a contrast or addition to one of the colors of the interior. The most common location is on either side of the bed, or in any area but over a larger rug.

Medium carpets are most convenient to use when highlighting a specific area - for sleeping or relaxing, changing clothes, and so on. Accordingly, they are placed next to a bed or a corner sofa, in front of a dressing table, wardrobe or chest of drawers.

A large carpet, depending on the size of the room, can cover the entire floor or be a zoning tool. Oversized carpet in the bedroom is always a background element of the interior, so you should choose a design with calm colors and an unobtrusive pattern.

An easy way to determine the right size is to outline the outline of the future carpet on the floor with masking tape. This trick will help you figure out how appropriate a carpet product of various dimensions looks in a selected area.

Shape selection

In the bedroom, rectangular, square and oval carpets are commonly used.

Rectangle and square are a classic solution for any part of the room and the way the carpet is placed. An oval carpet draws attention with rounded edges, so it is best used to emphasize the elegance and flowing outlines of the foot of the bed, dressing table or mirror, pouffe, armchair or sofa.

Non-standard forms of carpet products or skins look stylish and unusual, but require some care in placement, because there is only one step from originality to bad taste.

In the interior of the bedroom, the carpet can serve as an accent or background element, and the appropriate color will depend on the role. It is worth considering an important nuance: a light-colored carpet product looks better on a dark floor covering, and vice versa.

When creating a harmonious backdrop, it is best to use a medium to large-sized carpet in pastel colors and with an unobtrusive pattern. Its color can be matched to match other textile elements of the interior. A good example: cream curtains and a milky white bedspread look good with a beige or chocolate-colored carpet - depending on whether it will be bedded on a dark floor or on a light one.

A simple and elegant solution is to choose one or two non-contrasting colors as the main ones for decorating the bedroom and complement them with a similar shade of carpet.

The bed can match the carpet in color, but differ in shade - otherwise you risk getting an inexpressive color spot instead of the central element of the bedroom. In this case, a contrast would be a better option: the tone of the carpet is chosen in accordance with the colors of the textiles, but differs in color from the furniture.

If the carpet is assigned the role of an accent element of the interior, then choosing a color to match the walls can be a good solution. So, in a bedroom with furniture and textiles in natural beige-brown tones, the walls and the carpet in white, pearl gray, pink, blue or green look harmonious.

A good example of a contrasting combination is a rich raspberry, purple or light green carpet in a black and white interior. However, the choice of color in should be treated with caution - too bright and invigorating shades in the bedroom can interfere with rest. When creating contrast, choose either deep and clean tones, or an expressive pattern with a companion in the surrounding interior.

The traditional location of the carpet is near the bed, in the so-called barefoot area. In this case, the choice of the size of the carpet directly depends on the dimensions and methods of furniture placement relative to the carpet. Three of these methods can be distinguished:

  1. The bed and bedside tables are on the carpet. The carpet product can match the length of the bed or go beyond it by 0.5-0.7 m, not only on the sides, but also at the foot.
  2. The bed stands with two legs on the carpet, which covers almost the entire floor under it. With this arrangement, the edge of the carpet adjoins the bedside tables, but their legs are on the floor. The carpet goes beyond the boundaries of the bed by 0. 5-0.7 m on two or three sides.
  3. The carpet is laid across and covers half or a third of the space under the bed, going beyond it to any distance. A convenient solution for simultaneously covering the bare area and the entrance of the bedroom with a carpet product.

These options allow you to effectively highlight the bare area and are optimal for low and medium pile carpets. Carpet products with a long pile can also be laid in this way, but it is worth bearing in mind the additional difficulties in care, and it is desirable to have a bed with thin legs in order to reduce the deformation area.

Alternatively, you can lay not one large carpet, but two or three smaller ones. It is more convenient, practical and often cheaper. You can also stock up on several sets of different rugs, changing and combining them according to your mood.

A more complex option for placing the carpet is asymmetric. To do this, they buy a non-standard-shaped carpet product or place an ordinary rectangular or oval rug at an angle relative to the bed. But such an approach requires an artistic eye, because creating a balanced geometric fragmentation is not an easy task.

Carpet is also often covered on the floor at the foot of the bed and the area between it and the closet or dressing table.

For the correct choice of design and size, it is enough to answer three questions.
