Choosing the right rug for your bedroom

A bedroom is more than the place you go to sleep.  It’s a room that should feel like your sanctuary – a child free zone.  A place to read in peace.  A place to lie and contemplate the world.  A space to practice your new hair style.  The room you take

that private telephone call.

However, you use your bedroom, it’s important to choose the right rug.  Whether you have a carpeted or hard floor, just like most other rooms in the house, the rug will add that finishing touch.

Where to place your bedroom rug

Placing your rug depends on the size of your room.  If you have a large room with a lot of space, you can use the rug to zone a specific area, perhaps a reading chair or the space you may practice yoga.

Or you may just want a rug at either side of the bed so that on cold mornings you can rest your feet on a warm rug rather than a cold floor.  You may want it at the end of the bed which makes it a design statement of its own.

What colour should you choose

If you have bedroom in a neutral colour such as white, cream or grey – and if you have similarly coloured curtains and beddings – the rug is the perfect accessory to add your favourite pop of colour.  This then allows you to pick out a few more pieces in the colour to add interest – a red lamp, a red pillow, a red vase on the dressing table.

If your bedroom already has several colours, a plain coloured rug can actually anchor the whole scheme.  For example, if you have a red wallpaper, a red rug will pull the whole room together.

Type or rug

If you are prone to allergies, the best hypo-allergenic fibre you can choose is a 100% wool rug.  Rug ticks all the boxes when it comes being ‘green’.  It’s a sustainable resource, it’s made from natural fibre and it acts as a natural air filter which makes it the perfect choice for your sensitive allergies.  Wool rugs are also hard wearing and easy to clean.  They are the perfect choice for your bedroom.
