Placement Area Rug In Bedroom
If you've got a medium to large sized room, chances are that you've got a queen size bed. The dimensions of this bed are 5' x 6'-6" (152 × 202cm). But a simple bed does not make a good bedroom – it's all the accent pieces and accompanying furniture that makes the space worth living in.
In case of a bedroom, the area rug caps off the whole interior design. It may feel like a bonus accessory, but notice a bedroom with and without an area rug and you'll immediately see the difference. So now, the real question is:
What Size Area Rug Under a Queen Bed?
A 4'x6' rug pairs well with a queen and Olympic queen sized bed, but only if your bedroom is small. If you're working with a medium or large sized room, then the ideal rug size should be at least 8 feet in length.
This is because the 6' (72") length of a 4'x6' rug only extends a few inches on either side of the footboard compared to the larger span of a 5'x8' or 6'x9' rug.
A standard queen bed is 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, whereas an Olympic queen bed – a non-standard option – is 66 inches wide.
The following factors need to be considered when selecting the perfect area rug size for your queen bed:
The size of your room
The size of your rug mostly depends on the size of the room. Both must complement and correspond with each other.
You cannot furnish an oversized area rug in a small bedroom with a queen bed. Nor can you place a tiny area rug in a large bedroom with a queen bed. The dimensions of the room and the rug must go well with each other to deliver a holistic experience to the user.
The layout of your furniture
The second factor that plays a major role in selecting an area rug size for the queen bed is actually the layout of the room.
While rugs are mostly placed underneath or at the foot of the bed, there are more than these two ways to furnish them under a queen size bed. You can tweak the furniture layout and discover quite a few unique ways to use area rugs that complement this bed size.
Your preferred rug placement for a queen bed
The placement of a rug in correspondence to a queen size bed is also something that needs to be considered when selecting the best size. By simply pushing the queen bed against the wall, your rug size (and even shape) can turn out to be far more different that what you'd have initially considered.
For the best rug placement for a queen bed, your rug should extend at least 18 inches beyond the sides of the bed. You can opt for more, and preferably not less, as long as you have enough space.
Area Rug Size Chart for Queen Beds
Here's a standard rug size chart and a brief look at how each size and work best with a queen size bed:
| Dimensions in Feet | Dimensions in Centimeters | Best uses and features |
|---|---|---|
| 3'x5' | 91 x 152cm | This is the smallest sized rug that you can pair with a queen sized bed. Just put it at the foot of the bed and leave a small strip of bare floor along all the edges. |
| 4'x6' | 121 x 182 cm | This is the smallest rug size that you can pair with your queen bed. It's usually aligned with the footboard and can be used to design a floor sitting area when furnished with a compact chaise lounge, a couple of ottomans, or even just a bunch of floor cushions. |
| 5'x7' | 152 x 213cm | There's only 1' of difference between 5'x8' rug and this one. Just put it at the foot of the bed and it will look absolutely perfect. |
| 5'x8' | 152 x 243 cm | The length of this rug size perfectly aligns with the size of a queen bed's footboard. You cannot really furnish its edges under the bed. They must align with the footboard and have at least 2 feet of circulation space up front. So this rug looks the best when it's placed in a large room. You can accent it with floor cushions, a decorative trunk, a chaise lounge or a bunch of ottomans. |
| 6'x9' | 182 x 274 cm | You can furnish this rug size in a way that at least 18" or more of it are hidden under the bed. You'll have 1' of the rug edge visible on each side. It's best that you not accent this rug size with anything, or it will look too overwhelming. |
| 7'x9' or 7'x10' | 213 x 274 cm or 213 x 304cm | Very similar in size, both of these rugs can pair well with a queen sized bed. Just place the top 18" to 24" (or more depending on the size of your room) of the rug underneath the footboard while the rest can be embellished with floor cushions and ottomans. |
| 8'x10' | 243 x 304 cm | With this rug size, you'll have almost 18" of rug edges visible on each side. You can furnish it so that at least one quarter of the rug width lies under the bed. Once again, it's not recommended to furnish it with any accent furniture or accessories. |
| 9'x12' | 274 x 365 cm | This rug size is recommended for larger bedrooms. 2 feet of the edges will be visible on each side, so half the rug should be under the bed. |
| 10'x14' | 304 x 426 cm | This rug size looks best in large bedrooms. When perfectly centered, almost 2.5' of the rug edges are visible from each side. The best placement is when there is an 18" gap between the nightstand and the edge of the rug that is under the bed. |
| 12'x18' | 365 x 548 cm | This is the largest area rug size that you can place under a queen bed. The whole bed can be placed under the rug and you'll still have left-over edges on all 2 sides. |
Rug Sizes Under a Queen Bed
Here are some examples on how each rug size can be featured under or beside the queen bed (afterwards, see our infographic at the end of the article for a quick and easy comparison between all popular sizes):
4' x 6' Rug Under Queen Bed
A 4'x6′ is a small sized rug which is perfect for anchoring small and medium sized bedrooms. However, if you're looking for the best layout, then a four feet by six feet rug will go well with a queen sized bed if you place it directly in front of the footboard.
But if you want to be stylistic, then you can place the rug at an angle underneath one end of the bed. Both ideas work for small and medium sized bedrooms wonderfully!
Here are some ideas to match them together:
5' x 8' Rug Under Queen Bed
There are a number of ways to feature a 5'x8′ rug with a queen bed, but the best look is when the top 18" to 24" of the rug is placed under the footboard. This gives the whole layout a more cohesive look and makes the bedroom look absolutely pulled together!
Note that this five feet by eight feet rug is well suited for medium and large sized bedrooms that need a focal point to anchor the ambiance.
You'll love how this rug size will complement medium to large sized rooms. Here are some layout ideas for you to get started:
6' x 9' Rug Under Queen Bed
Compared to the dimensions of a queen bed, a 6'x9′ rug is rather large. Therefore, it's suited for medium to oversized bedrooms that have a lot of space in front of the bed.
There are quite a number of ways to pair it with this bed size. In our opinion, however, the best and most wholesome way to match a queen bed with a six feet by nine feet rug is by putting the majority of the rug underneath the bed, only leaving 18" to 24" of bare floor between the nightstands and the top of the rug. This will help make even a medium sized room feel bigger and more pulled together!
Here are some ideas to pair them together:
8' x 10' Rug Under Queen Bed
An 8'x10′ rug size is preferred for large rooms as its big span can make a medium sized room feel rather cluttered.
The entirety of the eight feet by ten feet rug can be put underneath a queen sized bed, but the best option is if you leave around 18" to 24" of space between the rug top and the nightstands. This gives the whole layout a rather cohesive look!
There are a number of ways that this rug size can be matched with a queen bed. Here are some popular choices for layouting:
9' x 12' Rug Under Queen Bed
Depending on the size of your room, a 9'x12′ rug can either be placed fully underneath the queen bed or you can leave an 18" gap between the rug top and the nightstands.
A 9 feet by 12 feet rug is categorized as 'large' and thus is only recommended for oversized rooms. If featured in a mid-sized bedroom, it can make the space feel quite cluttered.
Here are 3 popular ways that you can pair the bed and the rug with one another:
10' x 14' Rug Under Queen Bed
The most proportionate way to pair a queen sized bed with a 10'x14′ rug is to place the whole bed and nightstands on top of the rug.
If your room is extra-large, then you can leave a 24" gap between the top of the rug and the nightstands. This type of rug layout looks pulled together and wholesome when there's at least 24" to 36" (or more) of bare floor area around all visible rug edges.
A ten feet by fourteen feet rug is great for pairing with queen beds. It's the right amount of large and complements the size of a standard queen size bed perfectly. Here are some popular layouts you can take inspiration from:
12' x 18' Rug Under Queen Bed
A 12'x18′ is an extremely large rug size, especially compared to the scale of the queen bed.
The best way to proportionately pair its twelve feet by eighteen feet body with the queen bed is to place the whole bedroom furniture set (including the bed, nightstands, footboard ottoman/chaise, etc.) set up on top of it.
However, this rug size is not typically recommended for queen beds. It's too large and looks disproportional against the size of the bed. But if you still want to go ahead, here are two good ways to use it – given that you have a large bedroom:
Round Area Rug Placement with Queen Size Beds
There are four popular round rug sizes and there are a number of ways that you can pair each one with a queen size bed. Let's take a look at all of them:
4' Round Rug Under Queen Bed
A 4' round area rug is perfect for featuring in small to medium sized rooms. It's great for designing an accent reading nook in a large bedroom as well. Here are some unique ways to match this rug with a queen bed:
6' Round Rug Under Queen Bed
A 6' round rug is medium sized and is great for featuring in small to medium sized rooms. Here are some layout ideas that you can use to pair this rug size with a queen bed:
8' Round Rug Under Queen Bed

12' Round Rug Under Queen Bed
This is the largest round rug size and only looks good in oversized bedrooms. Here are the best ways that you can feature this rug size with your queen bed:
Runner Placement with Queen Size Beds
Runners are typically used in hallways and transitional areas, but they can also be featured in a bedroom. Their elongated shape is suited for medium and large sized bedrooms. An average runner is between 2 feet to 3 feet wide.
The length of the runner is more diverse and you can find one that lies anywhere between 5 feet to 14 feet. You can pick a runner size that complements the size of your bedroom. Here are some ideas to pair runners with your queen size bed:
Rug Layering Ideas with Queen Size Beds
Rug layering is recommended for only large sized bedrooms. In smaller spaces, layering tends to look very cluttered and makes the room feel visually overwhelming.
One thumb rule to remember during this venture is that the base rug should always be lighter in color so that the top rug can stand out more. Usually khaki natural fiber rugs are used as the base, as they're inherently understated and sturdy to begin with.
Here are a few ideas that you can use to introduce layering with area rugs in your home interiors:
