A rug can be the missing piece of the jigsaw in a bedroom; delivering cosy comfort and a design statement, as well as protecting carpets and floors. And who wants to get out of bed and feel chilly floorboards under their feet?
Daniel Prendergast, design director at the UK’s largest online rug and floor covering destination www.therugseller.co.uk, shares his picks of the best bedroom rugs for homeowners to sink their toes into. He also shares this advice on choosing a bedroom rug:
“Bedrooms are a special place within the home, not only to rest and recuperate, but also a private space that reflects the owners’ personality through its decor.
“Where rugs can anchor a bedroom, define it, add warmth and help to layer décor, they’re often used as a ‘finishing touch’. Anyone struggling to choose a rug for their bedroom may find that flipping the usual design process and starting with the rug can have many benefits.
“The wonderful point about starting with the floor is that it gives you a chance to build a space piece by piece, rather than getting overwhelmed choosing all of the furniture and soft furnishings at once.
“It’s also a great way to introduce bold colour and design, especially for those who are a little nervous about using colour in the home.”
