How to choose the right rug for your bedroom​

Bedroom rugs do more than soften steps: they reduce noise, save energy, protect floors and add cosy vibes. Here are a few ideas.​

An IDANÄS bed stands in a bedroom on a floor with a TVERSTED rug, a light grey VEDBÄK rug and a VRENSTED rug.

Side by side for size​

Combining two big rugs side by side with the seam under the bed gives you a large, plush base for the bed that also transforms the vibe of the room by softening the acoustics. A low pile is a smart choice as it’s a bit easier to keep clean.​

Runners around the bed​

Placing your rugs like runners around the bed is another way of adding comfort that softens your first steps in the morning. This solution makes hoovering under the bed easy – and taking the rugs out for an airing when needed.

A creative collage of rugs​

Using the decorative aspect of rugs and making a collage around your bed can be a great idea. It emphasizes the bed as the centerpiece of the room and lets you add your own personal touch. Reshuffle whenever you want a refresh.

“To access your under bed storage smoothly, it’s best to choose flatwoven rugs by the bed. Also, anti-slip underlays help prevent slipping accidents.”
