Bedroom Rug size help needed
Comments (3)I prefer one large rug perpendicular to the bed, going under the foot of the bed. I think it looks nicer and it also means that there is rug in front of the bed rather than just at the sides. But I think it's fine to do runners at the sides....See MoreBedRoom: Area Rug on Carpeted Floor and Under the Bed
Comments (12)I did that in my guest room - no problem at all. The carpet is pretty low pile and the rug is a fairly thick sculpted type oriental. I have no pad under the rug. I also have a very short, dense wool oriental rug on the carpet in my living room. That also works fine. I have all these rugs on carpet because I moved from a house with wood floors to one with more carpet. I hope to get rid of the carpet someday when I feel like moving everything again. So then I will need the rugs and in the meantime I can't stand the plain beige carpet. In another room I have a thick wool runner that covers the width of carpet from the deck door to the wood floor in the dining area. It has no furniture on it that holds it in place so it ripples a bit. I need to find a way to keep it flat....See MoreLooking for Congested Bedroom Rug Advice
Comments (38)Do you have room to walk around bed if you move the dresser under the tv? Looks like y'all have the bed and tv lined up for watching at night. My small bedroom is 11' deep and there is room for the bed (like you have it) with my dresser against the wall facing the bed... which would be under the tv in your room. I still have a 2' walkway between bed and dresser. You might want to turn the rug you got 90 degrees and put it at foot of the bed so that it pads the walkway in front of dresser and grounds the bed. The other thing I see is how harsh the window looks. I have an awkwardly placed window in my bedroom also that fights with furniture placement. My solution is hanging a curtain to cover the whole wall. I am in process of doing that now. Use a light colored fabric that lets light through so the room isn't too dark. You can get inexpensive panels (www.wayfare.com is a good source) that go floor to ceiling. Adds a bit of style to the room and fixes the unbalanced look of the window. I did this in my Nashville cottage behind my bed because of similar issues, using cheap off-white curtain panels. It made the room. To cover a wall with curtain I use a dowel instead of a curtain rod. Much less expensive and you don't see it anyway. Use 3 rod brackets (one in middle). Or order a ceiling mount curtain track. I got one for $49 on amazon.com and created a closet in our laundry room. I see it at www.amazon.com/Curtain-Rod-connection. (I prefer the dowel option in a bedroom) I hate attaching these pics because rooms are in process (dresser needs to be painted) but this may help. This is an 11' deep room with a queen size bed and a dresser that is 18" deep. That's my dog's bed on the floor. It gets pushed under the dresser in the daytime. The laundry room was big a d empty and I needed clothes hanging space. I had the curtains and the went with the navy squares in the vinyl flooring that I didn't want to replace. Thats a utility sink at the end so I built a wall/divider to create the closet and used pegboard as wall board to create storage options (hang purses inside closet area and tools in sink area....See MoreHelp! Need advice. Hardwood or carpet for a master bedroom?
Comments (12)I'm excited to install all LVP throughout our house. This is the first time we've had hard floors in the bedrooms. I like the opportunity to decorate the room with a large rug rather than having to stick with the same neutral carpet forever. I would caution that the cost of a quality large rug for even a queen size bed is costly and then most of it's underneath the bed so we're looking for something affordable if it ends up being a basic design....See MoreMichael H
