The carpet on the floor in the bedroom is a necessary thing, creating an atmosphere of warmth, relaxation and love in the room. When purchasing flooring, you should adhere to the recommendations and rules that will help everyone to create comfort and coziness in their personal premises.
Is it necessary or not?
The fashion and popularity of the use of carpet in living quarters periodically appears or is denied by skeptical specialists. However, most designers are now returning to the use of such an indispensable thing, especially in a room where people relax and spend a lot of time. Even psychologists adhere to the point of view regarding the need for a carpet in the room, which helps a person to relax, rest and plunge into a state of comfort.
Of great importance is the fact that most people in the bedroom prefer to walk barefoot. Therefore, pleasant tactile sensations from contact with a soft, fluffy and warm surface (and not a cold floor!) Will allow you to create a positive mood in the morning, after getting out of bed, which will help you to continue to do your favorite things in the workplace with fresh strength.
Layouts of carpets and carpets on the floor: photo
Before buying flooring in the bedroom, you must determine the area in which it must be spread. The size and shape of the palace will depend on the optimal choice of scheme.
According to the experience of designers, there are 5 main layouts:
- the carpet is laid along the berth along its length so that 2 legs hold the canvas, its size should be 1.2-1.5 m wider than the bed and extend by a third beyond its back, which is suitable only for large-sized rugs that should protrude from both sides; ideal for a classic interior;
- the carpet is laid transversely in relation to the bedroom place and is shifted to its foot and the center of the room, such a modern version is considered ideal for a headset, which includes a bedside bench;
- the carpet lies separately at the foot of the bed, which is used only in the spacious bedroom to create comfort;
- small rugs are used from 3 sides of the bed (two on the sides, the third at the back), which makes the space more symmetrical, the shape and size may vary;
- 1-2 mats are placed either on either side of the bed, or on one and along the back, if a lateral arrangement is used.
There is another non-standard solution: the carpet is placed at one corner under the bed leg, the rest is shifted from the axis of symmetry and brings originality into the space of the room. As you can see in the photo, the carpet on the floor with an asymmetric arrangement can be square, rectangular or oval. Moreover, the latter option is more original.
Form and invoice selection
The traditional form of rugs and carpets on the floor in the bedroom: square or rectangle. For a more original geometric solution, designers prefer round or irregular canvases, which is often used in the interior where furniture and other objects with rounded contours are installed (armchair, bed, floor lamp, table, etc.)
The texture of the carpet can be any: with a long pile, with a short, without pile or with an original texture for a home canvas, etc. It is selected taking into account the style of the bedroom interior and harmonious fit into it. The carpet can be made of wool or in combination with synthetics.
Lint-free rugs most often have a granular heterogeneous structure: the coarser it is, the stronger the massage effect for the legs. A wicker mat will help a person cheer up in the morning if walking on it barefoot.
On sale there are floor coverings with a combined texture in which the pattern is formed by alternating sections with and without pile. It is recommended to lay such carpets in the bedroom, where there is monophonic decoration of the walls and ceiling, the patterns will be able to “revive” it. Patterned carpet is best chosen in the room to emphasize its personality.
Carpet color
It is believed that the ideal color scheme for carpeting for the bedroom is the use of a calm muted range. However, bold bright colors are often used, which are suitable for designing a room in a modern style.
Recommendations for choosing the color of the carpet in the bedroom on the floor (photo below):
- the floor is a decorative frame for the palace, so they should not merge in color and texture;
- the main color of the carpet or its shades should be combined with furniture upholstery, curtains or wall coverings;
- in minimalist style interiors, color accents in the form of contrasting rugs will be relevant.

- country - suggests an ethnic style, the carpet can be bright with fun ornaments (stripes, fringe, flowers);

- minimalism - we use monochrome colors (black, white), always monophonic, you can lay the palace as a bright accent, but without a picture.
Oval rugs on the floor of the bedroom
One of the original and popular forms of carpet is the oval. This geometric shape perfectly complements the decor of the room and is the highlight of the interior. Initially, oval rugs were used in rooms with bay windows, and then began to be used in ordinary rooms.

Dimensions of the carpet intended for this room:
- a large product (from 6 sq. m.) can cover the floor of almost the entire room, which will give the interior overall integrity, however such a palace significantly increases the cost of its maintenance; when placing such a carpet in a spacious room, it is possible with its help to create an island that maintains the style of the room or, on the contrary, concentrates all attention on itself, shading the calm finish of the walls, ceiling and furniture;
- a medium-sized carpet (3-6 sq. m) is considered the best choice, because it fits perfectly into the room in size, it can become an independent element of the decor due to the bright color or pattern, without suppressing the rest of the decor with its size, with it you can divide the bedroom into zones (sleep, work corner, play area in the nursery, etc.);
- a small rug (up to 2 sq. m) is most often used to semantically emphasize the interior of a room; it looks good next to a bed, fireplace, or near a window; with bright colors, it becomes the main focus of the interior of the room.

Carpeting: advantages and disadvantages
In recent years, the use of carpet has become increasingly popular. Of great importance in the selection of such a floor covering is its composition and the presence of synthetic additives.
The most popular from the Soviet times carpet made of pure wool has not only advantages, but also significant disadvantages in its operation:
- high price;
- accumulation of static electricity;
- easily exposed to pollution, mold, susceptible to moth attacks;
- natural jute base has low moisture resistance and durability;
- only natural tones are used in the coloring, because the wool is more difficult to dye compared to synthetics.

Their main advantage is a more durable artificial base in the form of synthetic felt, jute, which can be rubberized or foamed.
