You can go bigger but these numbers should be the minimums you want to look for.

Rug placement under full size bed.

A full size bed or double bed measures 54 inches wide by 75 inches long. Here are some of my guidelines for determining the right size rug for the bedroom as well as placement. Do cover high traffic areas. A 6 foot by 9 foot area rug fits the bed a nightstand and a bench at the foot of the bed.

Instead of a larger underfoot coverage by the bed area the rug extends to cover the sitting area uniting the two functions of the bedroom lounging and sleeping. 8 x 10 or 9 x 12 queen size bed follow the same general suggestions with larger rugs and a queen size bed. This placement allows adequate space for your nightstands. Depending upon the size of the room there can be more rug extension around the bed as seen in this room by lauren nelson design but not less which would make the rug look insignificant being covered mostly by the bed.

When it comes to the bedroom sizing really depends on the size of your bed. Place the rug perpendicular under the bed with enough of the rug reaching out on the sides and in front to place your feet comfortably when getting out of bed or sitting at the foot. The bird s eye view of the full size bed placed on the 8 x 10 area rug reflects ample space left for nightstands or a bedside lamp. A 4 foot by 6 foot or a 5 foot by 8 foot area rug fits the bottom two thirds of the bed only.

Loloi explains that the ideal size for a queen bed is an 8 by 10 while a king would look better with a 9 by 12 rug. For a full or queen size bed you can use a 5 8 6 9 or 8 10 rug beneath the bed placed longways depending on how much floor space you want covered.

For full sized and larger beds be sure to use a rug that fits easily underneath the bottom two thirds of the bed.

Ideally the rug should be large enough to extend beyond the sides of the bed at least 12 inches for a twin or double bed and at least 18 inches for a queen or king. If the room is large the rug should extend even further out from the bed but it should never extend out less. The general rule for placement of rugs under beds is that a rug should extend 12 to 18 inches from the sides and foot of the bed 12 inches for a twin or full bed and 18 inches for a queen or king bed. Turning the rug the other way was not an option.
