Bedroom

Soft underfoot, first thing.

Bedrooms are where a deeper, softer carpet really earns its keep. With less traffic than the rest of the house, you can choose comfort and colour with fewer compromises.

What matters here

That sink-in feeling

A softer, deeper pile or a luxurious wool twist feels wonderful on a cold morning. Because bedrooms see mostly bare feet, you can prioritise feel over hard-wearing practicality.

Quiet and warmth

Carpet and a good underlay soften footsteps and keep rooms warmer, which matters in upstairs rooms and older homes.

Calm colour

Pale neutrals, soft greys and gentle heathers keep a bedroom restful. Look at samples under your bedside lamps as well as in daylight.

The natural choice for comfort: deeper piles, soft twists and wool.

Rugs

A bedside rug adds softness over a wooden or laminate floor.

What to tell us

The more we know about the room, the better the advice. These are the questions we usually ask first.

Is it a main bedroom, a child’s room or a guest room?
Do you prefer a plain, heathered or patterned finish?
Are there fitted wardrobes or a bed base to work around?
Any allergies to bear in mind when choosing fibre?

Common questions

Is a deep pile a good idea in a bedroom?

Often, yes. Bedrooms are one of the few rooms where a deep, soft pile is practical. Deeper piles can show footprints and shading, so look at a sample from a few directions before deciding.

Do children’s bedrooms need something different?

A practical twist with straightforward stain care is usually the sensible choice. Some synthetic ranges have specific cleaning benefits; ask about the care instructions for the exact carpet.
