Should you put carpet in a bedroom?
Many interior designers agree that carpet in the bedroom is an excellent way to infuse a little rest and relaxation into your sleep space. A great way to ensure you are getting the best sleep possible, carpet flooring provides comfort and warmth, while also dampening sound. Installing carpets or using area rugs in your bedroom flooring also adds an element of safety by reducing slip and fall risks for kids and the elderly alike, especially when compared to hardwood flooring. The benefits of bedroom carpets are endless, making them a great choice for those looking to infuse a cozy ambiance into their rooms through comfort and healthy living, as carpets can be good for allergen control.

Consider Carpet Pile Height

The first step to finding the ideal bedroom carpeting is considering the carpet fiber and pile height necessary for your lifestyle. Oftentimes, when we're thinking of which carpet type may be best for our bedroom, our minds automatically drift to the softest, plushest flooring materials. While this type of carpet can be great, it is not always ideal for every home. For example, if you're designing a kid's bedroom or have furry friends who often sleep with you, you'll want to invest in a more durable carpet option, as soft, high-pile carpets can wear faster. Low-pile carpets are made from short, dense fibers that offer a flat look that gives a neutral foundation. This makes them the ideal carpet choice for households with pets or children. High-pile carpets tend to give a more luxurious look and are less likely to flatten over time. They add a chic and high-end flair to any room.
Consider luxe carpet fibers such as nylon, polyester, or triexta which offer the best of both worlds in terms of comfort and durability. If you're set on an all-natural, stylish look in the bedroom, opt for wool carpeting, as its natural insulating properties, resistance to dirt, and water resistance keep you cool and comfortable all year round.
Bring Out Colors and Patterns

Once you've decided on the material and pile height of your bedroom carpet, it's time to decide on color and patterning. Choosing your carpet’s color and pattern is often the most difficult part of selecting the perfect bedroom carpet flooring. When considering what color carpet to purchase or whether to opt for a patterned carpet, first consider your design goals and style. Ask yourself questions like: Does this carpet match my current furniture? Do I want a bold and dramatic style with colors and patterning or should I go for a casual look with a neutral carpet color? Will it clash with my wall colors? Before deciding on a color or pattern, order some samples and test them out in your bedroom. Colored and patterned carpets bring bright and bold textures alive in your room and can make your design pop. Plus, they're a great choice for kids bedrooms since they can easily hide dirt and traffic marks.
Layer with Area Rugs
Do you have hard surface flooring such as hardwood or luxury vinyl in your bedroom but still desire the effects that carpets offer? Not a problem! Area rugs are a wonderful solution to add style and coziness. Layering area rugs over carpets are also considered en vogue, mixing and matching various textures, colors, and patterns. Like their carpet counterparts, area rugs excel at insulating a space from any unwanted noise.
The most common way to incorporate an area rug into a bedroom is by placing it under the foot of a bed, leaving lots of the area rug’s space open in front of the bed. However, another great way to utilize an area rug in a bedroom is by layering it under the bed. By choosing to layer your area rug with another, you can spice things up with several rug styles to mix and match shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Blending styles is a fun way to show off bold patterns while ensuring that everything still complements each other.
