12 Reasons Why You Need a Bedroom Rug

Hardwood, tiles, marble and most other materials that are placed on the floor are very hard. It is necessary that the floor has such characteristics, in order to be durable, but it is not comfortable to walk on a floor that does not have carpets or rugs. Prolonged standing on a hard surface can cause problems such as Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis.

A super soft, fluffy bedroom rug will solve this problem and you will be very comfortable standing on it. You will love the feeling when you put your feet in the morning on a soft rug.

If you are a light sleeper or your partner is a light sleeper, you know that every sound, including steps, can wake you up. You could easily solve the problem with other sensations such as light. The light will not reach you if you have blackout curtains or if you have chosen an eye mask, such as the Panda eye mask we have tested. But sounds are harder to block because most are not comfortable sleeping with plugs in their ears.

While the steps on hardwood and tile are very noisy, steps on the rug are almost completely silent. Your partner or child will not wake you when they go to the toilet or if they get up before you.

Yes, we know that the most important thing is to create a comfortable and functional bedroom. But it should also look nice too because the bedroom is one of the most important rooms in every home. So you need to personalise your bedroom space by choosing the style that you like the most and that fits into the interior of the rest of the home.

Although rugs are not as noticeable as a headboard, for example, rugs will definitely give character to a room. A wide variety of bedroom rugs can be found on the UK market, so you can fulfil your every idea. Choose a rug that will show everyone that this is your bedroom.

Flooring replacement is not a cheap project at all. Especially if you opt for hardwood or some similar premium material that is significantly more expensive than laminate flooring and other types of engineered wood. In that case, you definitely want to protect the flooring to last as long as possible.

If you’ve ever been to an old house, you have probably noticed that the parquet in the hallway is significantly different in colour than the parquet you found under a closet or a bed. The reason is that the parquet in the hallway was exposed to constant wear and tear.

If you have two rooms between which there is no door or the door is always open, a rug can serve as an ideal way to connect the two rooms. Without a rug, these two rooms will always look like two separate spaces, but the rug in between can connect them into one perfect whole.

It may be a bit more tricky to find a rug that fits in both rooms but give your best to find the perfect match. Trust us, it will be worth it.

Maybe too little daylight reaches your bedroom or you think you have chosen too dark walls and furniture, so you are now wondering how to make it brighter. Of course, you can always repaint the walls or change the furniture, but that is much more complex and expensive to do than to add a rug of light colour.

You can choose a completely white rug, and if you want it can have certain stripes or patterns. If white does not fit into the interior, then choose light green, beige or some other colours. Rug combined with suitable bedroom lighting will transform dark space into much brighter.

Decor enhancement is probably one of the reasons you had in mind when you started reading this text. If we ignore the obvious practical benefits of having a rug in the bedroom, we still have decor enhancement as an important reason. Whether you want to add a new colour to the bedroom or you want to completely break the current pattern and significantly alter the look of the bedroom, a rug will help you with that.

Don't be afraid to experiment. Rugs are generally not very expensive. Except for hand-made Persian and similar ones made of fine materials.

If you didn't buy rugs to protect your floor in time, you will surely notice many imperfections now. There are methods on how the floor can be repaired, but these methods are quite expensive and the floor will certainly not look like new. And the new floor is even more expensive and requires you to leave home until the work is completed.

If the floor is not completely ruined, take advantage of rugs. Rugs can hide imperfections in multiple ways. They will certainly hide the imperfections so that the imperfections will not be visible because they are under the rug. But that's not all.

You may think we are wrong because this certainly sounds illogical. How on earth would a rug that can be full of allergens be helpful in reducing allergies? But wait a second. Let us explain. Allergy experts have realised that it is much more useful to let curtains, carpets and rugs trap allergens. That way allergens will be in one place where you can easily clean them. Also, allergens will not fill the air.

After decades where doctors advised allergy sufferers and people with asthma to throw curtains and rugs, now the situation is completely different. This is very useful information when we know that over 30% of adults in the UK suffer from allergies.
