You can opt for more and preferably not less as long as you have enough space.
Bed and rug placement.
Here below are some examples of the area rug placements together with my comments which i hope will help you with your own choices of the area rugs for your bedroom.
Area rug placement in the bedroom is always a matter of taste and figuring out what elements are the most important to you.
The bed is on the shorter wall because of doors and windows in the room.
Here are the specifics for how to place an area rug under a queen bed.
If you need to go with a slightly smaller rug it should cover at least the area under the bed and give you a good 6 12 at the foot more if you have a bench or chest at the foot of your bed.
Bedroom rug placement offers a few more options depending on the size of the bed and the size of the room.
Based on the shape of the room we would place the rug to go with the shape of the room 9x 12 rug but this only gives 13 of rug on either side of the bed.
Queen bed rug placement.
Bedroom rug placement should offer plenty of leeway along the sides of the bed at least 24 36 as we see with the above.
First your rug should extend at least 18 inches beyond the sides of a queen sized 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.
