Bedroom rugs to the trade
Bedroom rugs to the trade: 5,655 styles suited to a bedroom, from Couristan (564), Prestige Mills (525), Harcourt Collection (520) and Kane Carpet (350). Hand-loomed (1,228), Wilton (959), tufted (997) and machine woven (861) lead the constructions, wool (2,062) and wool blend (1,190) the fibers; 433 can be made custom.
The bedroom is the one room where hand and softness outrank wear. Specify wool for warmth and resilience, a wool and viscose blend or a tufted viscose for sheen where there are no pets and a plush, a shag or a high pile loop if the client wants softness underfoot. Bedroom carpet wall to wall is usually a dense wool or nylon cut pile over an 8 pound, 7/16 inch rebond or felt pad; a loose rug over hardwood takes a felt and rubber pad so it does not creep. Keep the pile on the walkway side of the bed under three quarters of an inch so doors clear.
Sizing follows the bed. Under a king, a 9x12 or 10x14 set with the top edge at the nightstands leaves 24 inches past each side; under a queen, an 8x10 does the same. Leave 18 inches of floor at the walls, or run two runners along the sides of a bed in a small room. The king bed guide and queen bed guide draw the layouts; wall to wall is in best carpet for bedrooms.
