What size rug for this bedroom?
This is the MBR in DD’s new house. I did the room with PB’s Room Planner. The room has hardwood floors. How many and what size rugs should she have in the room? And where should they be placed?

Is this bedroom set too massive for my bedroom? (pics!)
Comments (51)Believe it or not, decent looking ceiling fans exist. On every design show I've ever seen they're the first things to be thrown out, but I have them in every bedroom. Mmm slight draft at night without the sound of floor fan... I pspent no fewer than 18 weeks looking (off and on) for a "pretty" one to go in my master. I have lived with a 4 poster bed. My experience - unless you have really high ceilings, and I'm talking like 10 ft, and a sizeable room, it will turn your space into... tiny. Once upon a time in a previous life I thought I had a big bedroom until I put a poster bed in there. I like your computer nook. I always wanted a space like that, which I could separate from the rest of the room with some romantic drapery tied back. I might force that idea on my formal dining room. :) beds/headboards coverin ga window do bother me. I don't like anything to cover a window (couch, table, or otherwise) -- but that's just me. And if it came down to a queen bed, or covering that window, sure - the window would get covered! We have single panels on our two bedroom windows, mostly because they're skinny and it looked silly to me to have two panels. If you need to cover the window, something that seems to help (at least when I've seen it done) is to pull the bed away from the wall a foot or so. Then you can go with two panels, and it looks kind of intentional instead of "didn't have space." Something else to keep in mind with blocking windows -- does the sun come directly in such that it would fade your bedding over time?...See MoreWhat size rug for bedroom?
Comments (2)I personally like area rugs to be as large as possible so they really make a statement. For me having a foot to a foot and a half of wood flooring around the perimeter of the room works well....See Morerug size in bedroom
Comments (10)I’d layer some. Iirc, you like the boho/Scandi aesthetic? It’s not only an interesting look, but very cozy. Love the idea of Persians, tribal, cowhide, and woven as shown in first pic. Hopefully, ilikefriday sees this, she did layered rugs in her boho bedroom. Looks great. . If that’s not an option, I think I’d try a 5x7 in that part, or another 8x10. ....See Morewhat color area rugs for my bedroom?
Comments (5)What about one bigger rug? I think for your bedroom, it would look better and more cohesive: https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-handwoven-chaste/Natural/200HMMT01A-P.html...See Morebbstx
4 years agolast modified: 4 years ago@Tina Marie, at this stage, I’m the ”legs“ for DD. DH and I are self-isolating. DH has “underlying factors” that would make COVID-19 very dangerous for him.
As DD unpacks and begins living in her house, she texts me when she realizes she needs something or needs some mock-ups to make decisions from. I gather choices and send them to her. She decides. I get online and order whatever it is. The last time I saw the house, maybe 3 weeks ago, it looked like this
She has sent pictures and we‘ve done a couple of FaceTime tours, but it isn’t the same as being there. It makes her and me very sad that I can’t go visit her. But we just can’t risk it.
I’m going to mock up your suggestion and send it to her. Thanks!bbstx

Yes, she did paint the entertainment center, @Fun2BHere. Here is a picture from just before they moved in that she sent me. I’m not sure what they are going to use it for. I don’t believe they are going to put a TV in it. There is a TV over the fireplace in the hearth room, one upstairs in the playroom, and another outside in the outdoor living room. She says 3 TVs are enough for any house!Notice, she also replaced the beige ceiling fan with a white ceiling fan. I’m not a fan of ceiling fans, but we are in the south and they are often useful.
As soon as the hardware store opens this morning, I’m calling to order knobs for the doors below the shelves. She’s still undecided on what she wants on the entertainment center doors. I think large heavy brass rings would look good. She’s thinking no hardware with push-to-open latches.
Thanks for the links to the hypoallergenic rugs. I see that jute is supposed to be a good choice for allergies to dust mites. A neighbor had a jute rug in her living room. I loved it! It was so soft! I have seagrass in the breakfast room. It doesn’t bother me to walk on it barefoot, but there are other family members who moan and groan if they forget their slippers.

4 years agoIf she chooses a rug with some interest on it's own, I might place it like these with the chairs at least partially on it as well as the foot of the bed. Not sure it would look as good with just a plain carpet:
