11 Best Rugs For Balanced Bedroom Design

In picturing the best bedroom rugs—textiles that’ll really get your day started on the right foot—we focused on easy-to-style coverings that can live under your bed frame and add depth to your floors. After all, who wants to wake up on a crisp winter morning to their feet on cold hardwood? Selecting the right material for your space will depend on how high-traffic your quarters are: wool and jute blend offer more durability while silk and viscose feel especially soft underfoot. As a general rule, we think your rug should extend at least two feet from the perimeter of the frame if you’re placing it below your bed, though we encourage creativity with silhouettes (think a circular rug or something with an interesting border) to really anchor the space. We tracked down a thoughtful assortment of bedroom rug options that’ll make your chambers feel like a real sanctuary, and don’t miss out on our recommendations for a superior sleep set up to match.

Most Versatile

Crate & Barrel Laval Handwoven Area Rug

Solid rugs can bring a pop of color into your bedroom and weave in texture at the same time. Crate & Barrel’s Laval rug is woven from luminous-looking viscose—which adds a subtle sheen to your floors—and it’s got a plush feel so you’ll get up on the right side of the bed every morning.

Best Jute Design

Havenhurst Handmade Jute Rug by Jake Arnold

Low pile and durable sisal rugs are superior options for the bedroom you’ll be glad you chose on cleaning days—any dirt and dust sits on the surface and can be easily picked up by a vacuum. This Jake Arnold–designed rug has a similar look to one we clocked in Amanda Ross Bacon’s serene living room. And If you’re looking to avoid something too busy, the contrasting weave creates a subtle checkerboard illusion that stays in the minimalist realm.

A Minimal Wool Look

Combining wool for softness and rayon for lasting quality, the Haren rug brings serenity to your space—the subtle texture almost reminds us of a zen garden. The rust colorway will let you channel the look and bohemian aesthetics of jute while sand brings a clean and contemporary feel.

A Reversible Pick

West Elm Karima Reversible Persian Rug

No one will be able to tell this rug isn’t actually a true vintage find you had imported from a Middle Eastern artisan market. Its reversible design offers you the unique opportunity to decorate with the seasons—the lighter side for spring and summer and the darker to capture the moodiness of fall and winter. Place it under your bed frame so just part of the pattern is peeking out or let it cover most of your flooring for a bigger statement.

A Luxe Silk Option

Handloom Knotted Silk Area Rugs by Foundry Select

For those with allergies, silk rugs are an excellent option because they’re hypoallergenic, though they’ll also require a bit of maintenance and aren’t recommended for super high traffic areas. We’d recommend them as under bed fixtures—like this rich-looking red carpet that’s especially soft underfoot and is fade resistant so you won’t have to worry about color variation down the line.

More AD-Approved Rugs

Southwest Striped Wool Rug

If your aesthetic is constantly evolving, this subtle striped rug will grow with you. It’s neutral enough to shift from a coastal glam home to one with a classic midcentury vibe, and you won’t be faced with excess shedding thanks to the cozy low pile wool.

SAFAVIEH Natural Fiber Arbor Border Area Rug

Safavieh’s seagrass jute rug offers ten different border colors for a more contemporary feel. Red and light blue are more vibrant, modern options that feel packed with personality, though olive and beige tones are also available for a more pared down look.

Hand Tufted Hedera Growing Rug

Anyone who wants the sophistication of a vintage rug pattern but wants to build a more modern space can appreciate this Loomy design, made from high-quality New Zealand wool. In the off chance you can’t find your preferred sizing in the available options, the brand also offers custom creations to fit your exact preferences.

Allmodern’s Racheal rug is a favorite of commerce editor Audrey Lee, who was looking for a low-pile wool rug that wouldn’t need constant vacuuming. “ I use this carpet in my bedroom but I think it would work just as well in any other room,” she said in her review. “It’s available in six sophisticated colors including a deep chocolate brown, jewel-toned teal, and trendy rust hue. I opted for the lighter green option because I was a fan of how it looked like the sheep was grazing a bed of grass.”

Serena & Lily Pinnacles Custom Sisal Rug

Get exactly what you want with one of Serena & Lily’s custom rugs. This sisal option with a contrasting white pattern is made to order, so you can customize the sizing to your exact requirements and even pick between different edge finishes.

Etsy is a trove of undiscovered rugs that range from one-of-a-kind vintage gems to bespoke pieces you can design with a seller. This plaid floor covering that can blend into maximalist spaces is one of the latter—it’s extremely low pile (i.e. won’t trap loads of dirt and dust), plus you can customize the sizing and colorway for something that feels entirely bespoke.
