Does your bedroom need a boost?

If your bedroom needs a makeover, then the addition of a rug may be just the answer you are looking for.

Whether you are wanting to add:

• a sense of cosiness,
• an organic aesthetic look,

• extra texture and pattern or,
• an added touch of flamboyancy to your bedroom, 

A rug from our collection is the perfect answer.

Why choose a rug for your bedroom?

Adding a rug to your bedroom is one of the easiest ways to make the room cosier. Accessorising with a rug will add a layer of texture and visual warmth as well as helping to keep your feet warm during those cold nights.

A shag rug, with its high pile design, will infuse a sense of cosiness and warmth as well as providing a soft texture underfoot.

Which size and shape rugs are suitable for my bedroom?

The size and placement of a bedroom rug is an individual choice. It is recommended to measure your bedroom and the space where you wish to place your rug.

Rugs can cover:
• a large area of your room,
• be laid under your bed or
• placed in certain areas or nooks of your bedroom.

If you wish to cover a large area of your bedroom, then an exposed border of your hard flooring should frame the area rug.

If you want to place part of the rug under the bed, then you may have a third to two thirds of the rug under the bed.

A handy styling tip is not to overfill your room.

Shapes

• Runners can be considered if a bedroom:
• has limited space or
• if you do not want to anchor your rug underneath furniture.

Placing a runner on either side of your bed can
• add to the appearance of a larger area rug
• run a line of comfort alongside your bed

• Round or Oval
Round or oval shaped rugs:
• add an extra touch of appeal
• tend to enhance a softer look
• can make the room appear bigger
You may wish to anchor a round rug under one corner of your bed.

• Rectangle
Whether you wish to cover the whole room or you are looking at creating a bit of a “buffer” zone around your bed, it is important to ‘test’ the suitability of the size.

Use masking or painter's tape to outline the rug dimensions on the floor to see if the rug will suit your room.

Choosing the right rug for your bedroom will depend on several factors, including budget and personal preferences:

• Soft, natural materials and high pile textures take more effort to clean.
• Synthetic materials are durable and often designed for easy cleaning.
• Wool rugs are natural, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, highly absorbent and are known for their warmth, temperature moderation & ability to absorb moisture in a damp environment.

• Remember that your bed is the focus of the room and the rug should accentuate it.

A quick solution to giving your bedroom a boost is often solved by the choice of the right rug. Happy hunting!
