Carpet in the bedroom - photo examples of unusual design and combination in the bedroom

It has long been customary that a carpet, especially silk or wool, can tell a lot about the wealth and aesthetic taste of the owner.

Once upon a time, carpets were an exclusive luxury available only to the elite.

However, modern production has made it possible to purchase unusually beautiful products at a reasonable price, so everyone can choose a carpet that suits the price and taste.

When you hang a rug in your bedroom, it's important that it matches the tone of the color scheme so that it brings out the details and doesn't stand out from the rest.

It is also important to note that it should be soft, fluffy and made from natural material. Shaggy carpets for the bedroom are the perfect solution for those who dream of creating a cozy bedroom.

It happens that the area of ​​the room is not big enough, sometimes it is necessary to create the illusion of increasing the room.

To achieve this, it is worth considering carpets with special colors. The most suitable is a carpet with a white pattern located diagonally.

The carpet in the interior of the bedroom is very handy, looks very impressive and creates an atmosphere of comfort and warmth, especially if the color is in harmony with the interior design.

How to arrange the carpet in the bedroom on the floor? Below are the most common schemes used when located in a bedroom:

Classic version. If your interior is made in a classic style, it is better to place the carpet along the bed.

Footboard carpet. If there is a lot of unoccupied space in front of the bed, this scheme will be a very good solution. The bare section of the floor will close up and look very cozy.

Modern style. The carpet is located across the bedroom, closer to the bed.

Asymmetric design. To lay the carpet according to this not quite usual scheme, it is necessary to achieve the effect of a little confusion and absurdity. One edge of the carpet should be hidden under the bed, and the rest should be let out. Below you can see a photo of carpets on the floor in the bedroom.

A homely and cozy atmosphere can be created not only by a large spectacular carpet, but also by a small bedside rug.

Some argue that each rug has some individual energy properties that directly depend on the geometric parameters.

Quite often, oval rugs are used because they represent spirituality and detachment from the world.

They also help to divide the room into zones. It is worth noting that a similar effect, although to a lesser extent, is achieved by the corresponding patterns on a carpet of any shape.

Rectangular rugs are also popular and are used most often in the style of minimalism and high-tech.

If your bedroom is small, you can place some small rugs.

The advantages of small rugs include practicality, aesthetics and cost. With good taste, rugs can be wonderful to decorate a bedroom, but it is worth considering another common type of flooring - carpet.

How to choose the right carpet for your bedroom?

Currently, the price of carpet is available to everyone. It is possible to choose a very good option that will satisfy your aesthetic details and fit into the interior.

Before choosing which carpet to take, you should note the following:

Is it possible to hang a carpet on a set in the bedroom?

Some people like to hang pictures on the walls and create entire photo galleries. Someone occupies an empty space, decorating the walls with souvenirs.

But in any case, the right carpet looks much more impressive. The fashion to hang carpets on the walls did not go away with time and did not become a relic. On the contrary - the carpet can create coziness and also retains heat.

However, please note that the thickness of the wall carpet should not exceed 8 mm, so that it does not look too heavy and bulky.

It must be taken into account that the carpet must be in harmony with the interior and not go against the design decision. Carpets on the wall attract a lot of attention and against their background everything else can seem nondescript.

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 relaxation. 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 has 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.

Where do you plan to lay the carpet and why?

To create an accent within one zone, you can choose a bright rug with an original pattern. In this case, you can consider options for an unusual shape - in the form of a skin, a flower or a leaf of a plant. For zoning a spacious room, it is convenient to use several medium-sized carpets - the main thing is to choose them so that the designs combine and complement each other.

If you need to set the tone for the whole room with a rug, a large or medium rug will work, depending on the size of the bedroom.

Do you like long hair?

If you like a long pile and you are ready to take care of it properly, then a shaggy carpet by the bed will be an ideal option. But it should be borne in mind that although it is possible to put furniture on it, it is undesirable, and often, instead of one large carpet product, it is advisable to purchase two or three smaller rugs. If the bedroom space allows, you can lay one medium rug to the side, creating a separate seating area on the floor.

Well, if you are not ready to properly care for a long pile, you can choose an equally interesting and warm medium pile carpet. The most practical, of course, are low-pile carpet products, and among them you can easily find original options with embossed ornaments.

Do you know about the peculiarities of color perception?

The color of the carpet affects the perception of the space around it. This should be borne in mind when choosing, because:
