🛏 What Are the Ideal Bedroom Rugs?

A bedroom is more than just a place to sleep — it’s a sanctuary for rest, relaxation, and personal style. The right rug not only enhances comfort but also adds warmth, texture, and visual harmony to your space. At Sharafi & Co, we believe the perfect bedroom rug should balance beauty, practicality, and timeless craftsmanship.


🌟 Why a Rug Matters in the Bedroom

  • Comfort underfoot: Step out of bed onto a soft, warm surface.

  • Acoustic softness: Wool rugs help reduce sound, making bedrooms feel calmer.

  • Design cohesion: Rugs pull together colours, furniture, and décor.

  • Luxury factor: A hand-knotted rug adds an elegant, indulgent touch.


📏 Choosing the Right Size

1. Large Area Rug (Under the Bed)

  • Best for: King or super-king beds.

  • Place the rug so it extends 60–90 cm beyond each side of the bed.

  • Creates a luxurious, hotel-like feel.

2. Runners on Each Side

  • Best for: Narrow rooms or when you want to showcase hardwood floors.

  • Gives warmth where you step most often without covering the entire floor.

3. Layered Look

  • Place a smaller rug on top of a neutral base rug or carpet.

  • Adds texture and a designer feel, especially with vintage or tribal pieces.


🧶 Best Materials for Bedroom Rugs

  • Hand-knotted wool rugs: Naturally soft, durable, and hypoallergenic.

  • Antique and vintage rugs: Offer rich character and unique history.

  • Kilim rugs: Flatweave style for a lighter, more casual look.

  • Silk or silk-blend rugs: Adds sheen and luxury (ideal for low-traffic bedrooms).


🎨 Choosing the Right Design & Colour

Soft and Serene

  • Pale blues, creams, and muted pastels for a calming retreat.

  • Subtle patterns like Oushak florals or Persian all-over designs work well.

Rich and Dramatic

  • Deep reds, indigo blues, or jewel tones for a bold, cocooning feel.

  • Works best in larger rooms with plenty of natural light.

Transitional & Contemporary

  • Geometric patterns, kilims, or neutral antique rugs.

  • Bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern style.


🛡 Caring for a Bedroom Rug

  • Rotate every 6–12 months to avoid uneven wear.

  • Vacuum gently — use a suction-only setting for antique pieces.

  • Spot clean spills quickly with a damp cloth and mild soap.

  • Professional cleaning every 2–5 years to maintain wool’s natural lustre.
