Your flooring is a fundamental part of your bedroom design, as it will impact both the function and aesthetic of the space. Your bedroom has unique needs compared to the rest of the house, so you’re able to indulge in a more personal way. Consider each of the factors below to choose a carpet that will enrich every night—and those mornings you get to sleep in.

Bedroom Design Guide for Selecting Carpet

1. Color

Choose your carpet color after you’ve determined the palette for your overall bedroom design, as your flooring should complement the design rather than overpower it. This is why neutrals are popular, such as taupe or charcoal. For children’s bedrooms or those who have pets frequenting the space, choose something with mid-tones. This will disguise any dirt and stains best. 

2. Fiber Type

Comfort is a priority for most with a bedroom floor since you’ll be walking on it barefoot. Wool is a popular natural fiber because it has a luxurious feel and is easy to maintain. Synthetic carpets are more affordable, so those who want a more budget-friendly option may lean toward nylon. Polyester is non-allergenic, so it’s best for those who have allergies or asthma. Finally, a wool-synthetic fabric blend combines the comfort of wool with the durability of synthetic fibers.

3. Texture

The texture, or pile type, will affect both maintenance and look. A long and looped pile creates a luxurious feel but is harder to maintain. It may be damaged by cats’ or dogs’ claws when they catch in the loops. Shorter and tighter piles are good for high-traffic areas or kids’ bedrooms since they handle wear well.
