Selecting the right rug size for your bedroom can make all the difference in creating a balanced, inviting, and polished look. A rug that’s too small will feel disconnected, while one that’s too large can overwhelm the space. The key is proportion—and a few simple guidelines make it easy to get right.
King Bed
For a king-sized bed, the most popular rug sizes are 8’ x 10’ and 9’ x 12’.
9’ x 12’: Large enough to place both the bed and nightstands on top, grounding the entire space.
8’ x 10’: The bed sits fully on the rug, but nightstands remain off, leaving a comfortable border of softness around the bed.
Queen Bed
For a queen bed, rugs sized 6’ x 9’, 8’ x 10’, or even 9’ x 12’ can work depending on your room size.
8’ x 10’: A favorite option, giving generous coverage around the bed.
6’ x 9’: Perfect for smaller rooms, while still extending about 18–24 inches beyond the sides and foot of the bed.
Full Bed
For a full-size bed, aim for a 6’ x 9’ or 5’ x 7’ rug. These sizes provide enough balance without overwhelming the room.
Twin Beds
Twin setups give you more flexibility:
Single Twin: A 5’ x 7’ rug works well, or you can place a runner alongside the bed.
Two Twins: Place a runner between the beds or a longer rug across the front for symmetry and style.
Quick Tips
Always extend the rug at least 18–24 inches past the sides and foot of the bed for balance.
In compact rooms, consider placing the rug two-thirds of the way under the bed—this saves space while still giving you a polished look.
Layer smaller accent rugs or runners for added texture and design interest.
Adding the right rug isn’t just about comfort—it’s a design choice that frames your bed, anchors the furniture, and pulls the whole room together.
