Best Size Rug For Under Queen Bed

Hi my bedroom is 12x16 with a queen size bed against a 12ft wall.

Best size rug for under queen bed.

A general rule of thumb suggests that an area rug should always extend at least 18 inches to 24 inches from the sides and from the foot of a queen size and a king size bed. A 12 foot by 15 foot rug will look balanced under the longer california king size bed and this size area rug will even fit under 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. The standard for an area rug of this approximate size is 8 feet wide by 10 feet long.

A rug that is 7 feet wide by 10 feet long may be the largest rug you will want to place under a queen sized bed in a standard room. For an area rug to look balanced under a bed it should be large enough to extend beyond the sides of the bed at least 18 inches for a king or queen bed and at least 12 inches for a full or twin bed. Using a standard size rug it would extend on either side 2 1 2 feet and 18 inches at the foot. A dresser is on the left wall towards bottom of bed and a chest of drawers is on the right wall completely clear of bed.

See that it extends at the bottom the same length as on the sides. To place the rug correctly. What is the best way to place a rug and best size. I want to place an area rug under at least part if the bed but i think the dresser will be in the way.

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. An area rug that measures 6 feet wide by 9 feet long may also be the best option if you go with a wider non standard queen size bed like an olympic queen.
