Why Wool Rugs Are Perfect For The Bedroom
These four reasons will make you feel better about investing in a wool rug for your bedroom.
☑ Keeps your bedroom floors warm: Walking on cold hardwood floors isn't fun, especially on chilly winter days. Wool is a fantastic thermal insulator. It helps keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, plus it can save you 8-13% on heating and cooling costs.*
☑ It's tough on stains: While spills and stains don't happen very often in the bedroom, it's still a good idea to invest in stain-resistant rugs. Wool is naturally stain and soil resistant, which means it’s easy to clean, and you can remove most spills with just water.

☑ Keeps your bedroom quiet: Sheep wool has excellent sound-absorbing properties that help to make spaces quieter and more comfortable. Doesn’t that sound nice?
☑ It's hypoallergenic: There’s nothing quite like the feel of wool. It's unlikely to cause allergic reactions* as it's resistant to dust mites and other allergens. So it's perfect for people with allergies.
Those are just four of the many benefits of wool rugs. Click here to find out more reasons to love wool rugs.

5 Bedroom Rug Ideas: How To Style A Bedroom Rug Effortlessly
1. Place rugs on top of the carpet
Yes, you can have a rug and carpet together! Placing a rug on top of a carpet can create a stunning layered effect, particularly if you choose a neutral or matching hue.
2. Create a calm oasis with a minimalist white rug
White rugs are a classic choice for the bedroom, especially if you want to create a calm, neutral haven.
White rugs also go well in a room with lots of colour and pop as they can bring a sense of balance to the space. Our Samurai Rug in Pyua is a perfect example of that.
3. Match with your walls or furniture
Match your bedroom rug with the colours of your furniture and walls to create a sophisticated, cohesive look. But, rather than matching them exactly, choose complementary hues from the same colour family, adding a subtle touch of contrast for a stylish finish.
4. Bring a pop of colour with bright-coloured rugs
Your bedroom wool rug can also be a colourful statement piece. If neutrals aren't your personal style, you can go for a fun, bright colour to liven up your space.
Our Galet and Charmeuse bedroom rugs can be customised into vibrant, on-trend colours such as woodland green, warm clay and sienna shades, sage green and indigo.

Soften the room with a round rug
A round rug in a bedroom can make the space feel softer and more inviting. According to the principle of 'Chi' (energy flow) in Feng Shui, rounded rugs can soften the hard lines in space and help create a fluid movement that restores harmony and balance.

What is the best kind of rug for a bedroom?
Because bedrooms receive the least amount of traffic compared to other rooms like the lounge or kitchen, a plush, a high-pile wool rug would be the best option. Just think of sinking your feet into a warm, soft, chunky loop wool rug in the morning like our Tussore rug.
Wool rugs have excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption properties, making them a perfect fit.
How do you place a rug in a bedroom?
There are two ways to place a wool rug in your bedroom;
#1 Under the bed
Start your rug around 10cm from your bedside tables (depending on your bed and room size). This means your rug will sit underneath the lower two-thirds of your bed and stretch out beyond the foot of the bed.
Opt for symmetry so your rug extends equally on the sides and foot end of your bed by at least 50cm. This makes your rug feel in proportion with the room.
#2 Right at the head of the bed
Start your rug at the head of your bed so it's touching the wall. This means your bedside tables will sit on the rug.
Opt for symmetry so your rug extends equally on the sides and foot end of your bed by at least 50cm (depending on the size of your bed and room). This makes your rug feel in proportion with the room.

What size rug should I pick for a bedroom?
This can depend on the size of your bedroom and bed. At Bremworth, we recommend that the bedroom rug should extend equally on the sides and foot end of your bed by at least 50cm, regardless of whether it's laid under the bed or at the head of the bed.
