As John Goodman famously stated in The Big Lebowski, a rug can really tie the whole room together. And this is certainly true, making rugs one of the most popular accessories for bedrooms.
Be them an attractive, decorative piece, or just something comfortable and soft to put your feet on when you get out of bed on a cold morning, the right rug can make all the difference.
That being said, there are so many styles and choices on the market these days that finding the right one for you and your space can be a difficult task indeed.
This is why we have put together this list of the best rug ideas around to help you with your decision. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
1. Plush Rug
Despite having a reputation for being feminine, these soft, comfortable rugs are perfect for anyone looking to cover cold laminate or wooden floors during the winter months, and come in numerous colors and styles to suit most tastes.
And who wouldn’t want something soft to step on first thing in the morning? These plush rugs generally have a pom pom-like consistency, often made from small pom pom balls that have been woven together.
These are generally smaller, so cannot cover the entire room (or the entire underside of a bed), but they do make the perfect bedside accompaniment to keep the cold out.
If plush rugs just don’t quite hit the right level of fluffiness however, you could always invest in a shag rug?
These aren’t reserved for the 1970s anymore, and come in various forms of synthetic fibers so you can rest easily knowing that no animal had to go cold to warm your feet.
Available in numerous colors and styles, these are as comfortable as they are indulgent, and can add a playfulness to any bedroom space.
Also, what could possibly be more comfortable than stepping out onto something as wooly and fluffy as shag?

If you have block or neutral coloring on the walls, then why not opt for a vibrant pattern? Or, if your walls are already quite busy, then opt for a more muted design that will complement the existing decor.
The world really is your oyster with these rugs, and there are countless designs and patterns that you can choose from – all for varying prices, quality levels, and sizes.

Floral rugs have been a mainstay in interior design for decades, and come in countless styles and patterns, ranging from the modern to the traditional.
There is a lot of variation in price and quality with these rugs, and while it is perfectly possible to get a bargain, you could also end up paying through the nose.

Abstract rugs have become really popular in recent years, and offer that little bit of California-esque high class bohemianism that is both rich with color and bursting with elegance.
These go great with neutral color schemes, and really do create a focal point to the bedroom.
These tend to be larger in size, so would probably work as an under bed rug, but you could just as easily have it at the side of your bed to give you something comfortable and attractive to step onto in the morning.
These rugs tend to be generally more muted that their paint finish counterparts, offering something more minimalist in terms of color and vibrancy.
This would go really well with colorful rooms, or spaces that already have patterned wallpaper. The rug draws from the vibrant room and makes it more subtle, while the room adds to the rug, really bringing out the tones and shades.
For that South American feel, an Aztec rug is the perfect choice for you. These are generally very affordable, and come in numerous colors and designs to create something vibrant, striking, and downright iconic.

Hi, my name is Maisie Park and I have recently moved into the home I renovated with my husband. It took an entire year to get it just the way we wanted it, and I learned a thing or two along the way!
We started this project together with no prior experience in renovating houses or home improvements – I think the best I had was that I knew how to change a lightbulb.
Flash forward a year and here I am, creating a website to guide others through these challenges.
Please use my website as a source of inspiration for your own home – does your porch need a fresh lick of paint, by any chance? We all deserve to live in the house of our dreams, so what’s stopping you? Let’s get started!
