When it comes to designing a comfortable and aesthetically balanced bedroom, selecting the best rug size can make all the difference. Carpets and rugs have variety of practical and aesthetic purposes. However, many people struggle to determine the ideal dimensions for their space.


So, here is a helpful guide to choose the right carpet size for your bedroom:


Why the Size Matters?


A well-chosen rug can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space since the right carpet would create a visual unity across bed, bedside tables and lighting fixtures. By understanding the theory of choosing the right carpet size, you can create a harmonious and inviting atmosphere in your bedroom.


Right Carpet Size for Bedroom

One of the most common double bed size is: 160x200 cm, though standart double bed sizes vary from 140x200 cm to 150x200 cm, 180x200 cm and 200x200 cm.

For instance, if your bed dimensions are 160 cm to 200 cm, the carpet or rug under your bed should be at least 200 cm to 260 cm. Why?

The ideal extention of carpets from the bed sides is 50 cm which ensures balance and comfort in the bedroom. This creates a more proportionate look, making the room feel larger and more inviting.

Carpets that extend far enough from the bed create a sense of symmetry and harmony in the room. This prevents the space from feeling disjointed, creating a cohesive design that enhances the overall aesthetic.

Standart carpet and rug sizes differ in Europe, Asia or in USA yet the ideal dimensions for a carpet under a 160 to 200 cm bed is: 200x300 cm, 240x300 cm and 240x340 cm.


A larger carpet provides more coverage underfoot, offering a softer, cozier feel as you step out of bed. It reduces the gap between the bed and the carpet, ensuring a seamless and comfortable transition from the bed to the floor.


By following this guide, you can enhance the visual balance whilst ensuring the comfort of your bedroom.
