what size rug for full size bed

For a full (double) bed, the most commonly recommended rug sizes are:

• Best all‑around choice: 6' x 9' – gives around 18–24 inches of soft rug on the sides and foot of the bed, which feels generous and looks proportional in most standard rooms.

• Smaller rooms / tighter layout: 5' x 7' (or 5' x 8') – works if your room is compact or you have other furniture constraints, but it will show less rug on the sides.

• Larger rooms / more luxurious look: 8' x 10' – lets you pull the rug farther up under the bed and still have a wide border around the sides and foot; great if you have a bench at the end of the bed.

A simple rule of thumb: aim for about 2 feet of rug showing on the three sides you step on (both sides plus the foot). For a full bed, that usually lands you in the 6' x 9' range in a typical bedroom.
