How To Choose A Grey Bedroom Rug

There are multiple factors to consider when shopping for a grey bedroom rug. We know the process can be overwhelming, so we've compiled a list to help you through the process.

1. Shade of Grey: People often forget that grey, just like other colors, comes in a great variety of shades! Grey can be not only light or dark but also deep, rich, subtle, bright, warmer, or cooler. Lighter shades of grey are great at creating a bright and spacious atmosphere, while darker, richer shades of grey add depth and contrast.

"This versatile color offers no shortage of shades, from light-toned silver to moody charcoal, all while pairing nicely with most interior palettes," says Blair Donovan at Apartment Therapy.

2. Rug Size and Placement: Think about your bedroom size, bed size, and your preferred placement. For more compact bedrooms, opt for a larger area rug to create the illusion of a more spacious room. Leave a gap of 2 to 5 inches between the rug and your walls - this will help to maintain that sense of openness. 

For larger rooms, rugs covering the bottom two-thirds of your bed and extending beyond the bed are great options. Popular sizes include 4x6, 5x8, 6x9, 8x10 and 9x12 grey rugs. Larger rugs will be able to accommodate not only your bed but also your nightstands and benches at the foot of the bed.

3. Material: A key element in choosing the material is the level of comfort you want out of your rug. For a soft, fluffy and luxurious feel, go for materials like plush wool and soft cotton. These are also great for those with allergies. If you prefer something that is more low maintenance yet also long-lasting, choose synthetic materials like polyester. These also tend to be more affordable.

4. Style and Pattern: Grey bedroom rugs are a fantastic choice, especially if you enjoy changing up the other accent pieces in your room every now and then. Grey is extremely versatile and lends itself well to a variety of styles - whether it's modern, contemporary, eclectic, vibrant or farmhouse. You can go for solid grey rugs, as well as patterned rugs with varying shades of grey intertwined.

5. Contrast and Coordination: Think of the grey rug in the context of your bedroom - how will it coordinate with the existing decor? How will it contrast with the wall colors and furniture? For a soothing effect, grey rugs are great when paired up with other cool tones, like blues or whites. For a more eclectic style, grey rugs can serve as a means to highlight more vibrant accent colors and patterns in your room.

6. Maintenance and Durability: Think about how much time you're willing to invest in looking after your rug. After all, this is a piece of home decor that is always in contact with the floor and that will likely encounter a high level of foot traffic. Research each material to find the one that meets your desired maintenance level. 

Some rugs may required frequent vacuuming, special treatments or professional cleaning. Alternatively, there are also some machine washable rugs on the market these days! This is a particularly great option for parents and pet owners.

7. Visualizing: As with any purchase, rugs can be a considerable financial investment. To make sure the shade of grey, size and style meet your expectations, you can take advantage of Augmented Reality technology to preview any chosen rug in the context of your bedroom. This will allow you to see grey rugs in their natural environment, allowing you to then make your purchases with full confidence.
