When deciding what size rug to get for under a king-sized bed, the main rule of thumb is that the rug should be at least the size of the bed. This means you will need a rug that is at least 8' x 10' for a standard king-sized bed. However, keep in mind that anything smaller than that will result in the bed overlapping the rug edges. To ensure the perfect fit, you can go even bigger than the bed, up to 10' x 12' depending on the size of your room.
A larger rug provides a sense of cohesion to the room since it will overlap the edges of the bed and also the other furniture pieces that may be in the room. It’ll make the room appear much larger and more coordinated. Plus, this arrangement helps to create a unified feel in the space.
Additionally, a large rug under a king-sized bed serves many practical benefits. For one, it’ll place your feet on something softer and warmer when you get up in the morning. You don’t want your feet to be touching a cold floor. You can also find a rug with a higher-than-average pile, so those who suffer from achy joints can also benefit.
Finally, a rug underneath a king-sized bed also adds a layer of protection. This will protect the flooring from high traffic areas, but it will also provide protection for the bed itself. Moving a king-sized bed is no easy feat, and without having a rug in place you run the risk of damaging the flooring underneath.
So don’t be shy when it comes to sizing up a rug to fit under a king-sized bed. A rug of at least 8' x 10' is usually enough, but you can go as big as 10' x 12' to create a cohesive look and feel to the room. Plus, a king-sized rug will also provide you with many practical benefits so it’s more than worth the investment.
