Place an Area Rug in the Bedroom
A bedroom should be designed as a refuge from the world. Area rugs can add a level of cozy warmth that bare floors do not provide. Bedrooms that contain wall-to-wall carpeting can also benefit from an added area rug. Area rugs give visual clues about the importance of a particular area of the room and can be used bedside, across the room at the foot of the bed, as a focal point in the center of an open area or as a way of delineating a seating or work area within the room. Rugs can be purchased in standard sizes or can be designed to custom fit any location in a bedroom.
Instructions
1. Examine the bedroom and its furniture layout and decide where the rug will best service the occupant(s).
2. Measure the chosen rug area with a tape measure and record the dimensions.
3. Use paper to outline the area rug on the floor before settling on a size. Use a tape measure to place a sheet of notebook or copy paper where each corner of the rug would be.
4. Choose an area rug that fits inside the measured dimensions. Area rugs look best when bordered by the original flooring by 6 inches to 1 foot.
5. Place a rug pad beneath the area rug in bedrooms with hardwood or tiled floors. Choose a pad that is the same thickness as the rug for even wearing of the carpet.
