If you get one that's too small, you can end up with a space that looks awkward and unfinished. However, an overly large one is just as bad because it makes your room seem overcrowded and too busy. And while rug size guides might seem like a straightforward thing to research, you'll quickly find that everyone offers conflicting suggestions.
Don't let all this confusion stress you out. When you're struggling to pick out a rug, turn to Rank &amp; Style. We've gone over advice from countless interior designers and summarized it into a few simple rules. With our handy sizing charts, room-by-room guides, and styling tips, it's easy to get the ideal rug for any room.

<div><img alt="Image credits: lulu and georgia" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F8a1f03c9-2e50e9e5-what-size-rug-for-a-queen-sized-bed.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Ever walk into your freshly decorated bedroom with your new queen sized bed and wonder why something just feels... wrong? No, the home decor fates haven't spurned you. You simply have the wrong rug. Our editors are here to help you get your rug mismatch squared away for a more balanced, serene sleeping environment. Most people choose rugs that are too small—or skip this essential touch altogether. The truth is that selecting a rug for your queen bed isn't as simple as grabbing the closest 8x10 on sale. Factors like room size, room layout, nightstand placement, and overall theme all go into good rug choices. If your bed looks off because of a rug faux pas, you're not just making the vibe weird—you're wasting money.
Rank &amp; Style gives you the shortcut to rug bliss without the need to dig through endless reviews or sizing charts. This guide delivers everything from foolproof rug sizing tips and layout ideas to curated rug recommendations for every aesthetic and budget.
<h2>How to Choose the Right Rug Size for a Queen Bed</h2>
Get out the measuring tape and get dimensions down on paper before rug shopping. The big considerations for picking a good rug size for a queen bed include room size, bed placement, and furniture layout. Next, consider if you want the rug to fully outline the bed or start below the sheet-fold line. You now have your ideal rug outline.
<h2>Why Rug Size Matters in a Bedroom</h2>
Rug size is a matter of balance. A rug's size and proportions in relation to the surrounding space affect aesthetics, balance, and comfort. An undersized rug makes a room feel disjointed and distorts the proportionality of all of the elements in the room. When your rug is properly sized, it creates a visual anchor for the bed. On a practical level, rugs offer insulation, sound-dampening, and underfoot comfort.
<h2>Standard Rug Sizes That Work With a Queen Bed</h2>
The good news is that interior designers basically have rug sizes down to a science—a science we've studied thoroughly here at R&amp;S.
Here's your cheat sheet to what size carpet to use for a queen bed:
<ul>
<li>8x10' is the most common option for bedroom rugs for a queen bed</li>
<li>9x12' works for larger rooms or full furniture setups</li>
<li>6x9' can work in tight spaces with strategic placement</li>
<li>2.5x7' to 3x8' runner rugs can create style and warmth at the sides or end of a bed</li>
</ul>
<h3>What Size Rug Works Best Under a Queen Bed?</h3>
While room shape and size matter, your lifestyle and general style likes and dislikes also count.&nbsp;
This is our logical breakdown of how to pick the right rug size for a queen bed:
<ul>
<li>8x10' is best for standard rooms because it's the sweet spot where coverage meets not overdoing it.</li>
<li>9x12' is perfect if you want the rug to extend under nightstands to provide warmth against hardwood or tile floors.</li>
<li>While you can get away with rugs smaller than 8x10, only choose this for a very compact room.</li>
</ul>
<h3>8x10 vs 9x12: What’s the Right Fit for Your Space?</h3>
Caught between an 8x10 and a 9x12? Let’s break down what those extra inches really mean for your room.
We love 8x10 when the vibe is neat, tidy, and minimal. An 8x10 rug will perfectly frame your queen bed without engulfing it in an ordinary, non-suite type of room. With a queen bed over an 8x10 rug, you're getting 1 1/2 feet of rug on each side of the bed when you climb out—which can feel a little tight if your floors are cold.
We recommend bumping up to 9x12 for a primary bedroom with extra space. We especially like the way the extra length creates a nice outline close to the center of the room. This makes your bed look much grander. We also like the added warmth of the 2 1/2 feet of rug for each side of the bed. The only danger here is that a rug can become a bigger statement than the bed. It's also important to make sure the protruding rug doesn't create a trip hazard at the foot of the bed.
<h3>Can You Use a 5x7 Rug Under a Queen Bed?</h3>
Can you use a 5x7 rug under queen bed? Let's be honest—it's tight. We instead recommend runner rugs that are typically 2.5x7 to 3x8 for the sides or end of the bed. If you're insistent on a single rug, place your 5x7 rug toward the foot of the bed for partial coverage on the bed frame's lower half. We specifically like this when layering rugs over carpets. Choose a flatweave rug to avoid bunching.
<h2>Rug Placement Tips Around a Queen Bed</h2>
Placing a rug under a bed is like framing a photo—balance is everything, and the frame shouldn't overpower the picture. We personally like to use rugs as symmetry makers. With that said, we've done the rug placement math for you.
Here are the steps:
<ol>
<li>Decide if you want full coverage or two-thirds coverage. Our default is full coverage because it's more balanced and elegant. When layering or working in a small space, the two-thirds look should place the rug under the bottom two-thirds of the bed, to match the effect of sheets and blankets getting rolled downward.</li>
<li>Measure symmetry with nightstands. Measure the rug to either hold the nightstands or create a border between the bed and nightstands. There should be no half-on, half-on looks with wobbly nightstands. </li>
<li>Consider your walking path on either side of the bed. You need at least 3 feet for a path of travel on either side of the bed without a person needing to balance on the rug's trim to get from point to point in your room.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How Far Should a Rug Stick Out From a Queen Bed?</h3>
Optimal overhang is at least 18 to 24 inches on the sides and foot. As we discussed, leave room for nightstands to either be in or out based on the size of the rug your room can accommodate. The same goes for any bookshelves or wall-mounted furniture. Along with a tape measure, use your "gut" measure to achieve visual balance that ensures the rug is adding, not taking away.
<h2>Best Rugs for Queen Beds by Room Style</h2>
If you feel like you're shoehorning a rug under your queen bed just because it's what was available or on sale, you're robbing yourself of the satisfaction that comes from proper queen bed rug placement.&nbsp;
Below, we're dropping all of our product picks and expert recommendations for setting the tone in your bedroom from the ground up.

What Size Rug Goes Under a Queen Bed? A Style-Savvy Guide to Getting It Right Every Time

<div><img alt="Image credits: crate and barrel" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2Fbd23a5ed-7ea637d6-cocktail-glasses.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Have you ever felt self-conscious about your at-home bar or cocktail cart setup because it's a hodgepodge of kitchen-cabinet hand-me-downs from mom and dad or mason jars from your farmhouse phase? We're calling this your glassware glow-up moment. Whether you mix drinks for friends or have just started exploring cocktails, the right glass transforms the entire experience. Great bar glasses look good and improve aroma, temperature, and taste.
If you feel like you're muddling your way through cocktails with muddled mint or swizzled syrups, consider this your breezy guide to libations that shine in the right glassware. We break down our favorite cocktail glasses by style and function, with shoppable, editor-approved picks to help you create an effortlessly elevated serving space. This is your moment to channel that inner host energy you've been craving with gorgeous glassware that enhances both your home's vibe and every sip.
<h2>Why Glass Matters: From Aroma to Appearance</h2>
People who insist on drinks being served in the right types of alcohol glasses aren't just being snobbish. There's a science to this. It turns out that different bar glass shapes affect flavor, experience, and drink temperature.
What's in a glass shape? An alcoholic drink's aroma influences how we perceive its taste. Different glass shapes can concentrate aroma to enliven certain notes. Similarly, the thickness of a glass impacts the rate at which it warms or cools. Finally, there's simply the visual influence of a gorgeous, high-end glass that heightens the anticipation and joy that go with a drinking experience.
Here are the "cheats" we swear by for always using the right glass:
<ul>
<li>Separate cocktail glasses by stemmed and stemless. Don't worry if these are new terms, we cover them all in the next section.</li>
<li>Consider volume. Nothing kills the magic like pouring a completed cocktail into a glass that's too big or too small.</li>
<li>Always leave space for ice, garnishments, or extra dilutions into account.</li>
<li>Glasses with straight sidewalls are best for fizz because they let bubbles rise. Pick this style for spritzers or cocktails with carbonated mixers.</li>
</ul>

From viral TikToks to bedtime routine breakdowns, this buzzword is everywhere—and it’s got people rethinking how they rest. But what exactly does it mean?
At its core, sleepmaxxing is all about optimizing your sleep. It's the act of turning your nightly routine into a wellness ritual, prioritizing recovery over productivity, and treating quality rest as a non-negotiable. Think less “collapse into bed” and more “curated wind-down experience.”
The term stems from “maxxing,” internet slang for taking something to the next level. Combine that with the science-backed benefits of quality sleep, and you've got a movement that’s all about enhancing your life—starting with the way you snooze.

TikTok’s latest obsession is about leveling up your sleep routine.

Sleepmaxxing Is the Viral Trend That’s Redefining Rest

<div><img alt="Image credits: @stacyelainerealestate" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2F16a9020f-87ee6436-%40stacyelainerealestate-hero-image.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>So you've got one of those patios. The concrete afterthought that came with your apartment or house, currently home to a lonely plastic chair and maybe that half-dead succulent you keep forgetting to water. It was supposed to be your little slice of outdoor paradise, but honestly? Right now, it's more embarrassing than relaxing.
The truth about tiny patios that nobody mentions upfront: your biggest enemy isn't the lack of square footage. It's your wallet. Flip through any home magazine and those dreamy outdoor rooms make it seem like you need a small fortune for decent furniture and professional design help. Meanwhile, you're over here doing mental math on whether you can afford that $30 ceramic planter.
Plot twist, though. The most jaw-dropping small patios we've stumbled across weren't born from massive budgets. They came from people who got clever instead of expensive. We spent way too much time scrolling through real people's outdoor makeovers, hunting down their actual sources, and separating the DIY projects that deliver from the ones that'll just eat your Saturday. These aren't those fantasy Pinterest ideas that look gorgeous but crumble after the first rainstorm. We're talking about the real-deal transformations happening in actual backyards, the ones that make neighbors stop and stare, and more importantly, make you want to grab your morning coffee outside.

<h2>The Simple 4-Part Formula That Actually Works</h2>
Here's the deal: $200-500 transforms most small patios completely. Tackle these four areas in this exact order: decent seating first ($50-150), plants that won't immediately die ($30-80), lighting that sets a mood ($20-60), then one knockout piece that pulls it all together ($40-120). Skip everything else until these basics are sorted.

This brand is an icon due to its colorful kitchen appliances and charmingly retro aesthetic. However, KitchenAid is a lot more than just a cute way to accessorize your kitchen counter. It has a reputation for solid construction and convenient features as well.&nbsp;
For all the KitchenAid fans, both old and new, we've got the ultimate guide to the brand. Whether you want inspo for your next KitchenAid shopping spree or want to know how it measures up to other brands, Rank &amp; Style has you covered.
<h2>What Is KitchenAid?</h2>
KitchenAid's fame for its incredible mixers is well-deserved. This brand started in 1919 as a producer of kitchen mixers. Since then, KitchenAid has spent over 100 years perfecting its designs. Along the way, the brand has also branched out to design a lot of other premium kitchen appliances.&nbsp;
Since the 1980s, KitchenAid has been a subsidiary of Whirlpool. The corporation uses KitchenAid to create and sell premium kitchen appliances. It has built a strong reputation based on its appliances' sleek looks and excellent performance. Whether you're a professional chef stocking your kitchen or an avid home cook who wants the best of the best, KitchenAid is the way to go.
<h2>What Does KitchenAid Sell?</h2>
If you love KitchenAid's design and functionality, you're in luck. This brand offers just about every type of kitchen tool by now—so much variety that you could truly equip an entire kitchen with KitchenAid (and we're kind of obsessed with that idea). Here are the main types of products you can get from KitchenAid.
<h3>Countertop Appliances&nbsp;</h3>
KitchenAid's original focus was on stand mixers, and it still produces plenty of mixers for you to make cakes, bread, pasta, and more. But it also creates other small appliances that'll earn a permanent spot on your countertop. You can get blenders, food processors, toasters, and coffee makers from KitchenAid—basically everything you need to make your morning routine a little more stylish.
<h3>Major Appliances&nbsp;</h3>
KitchenAid also produces much larger appliances now. If you're totally smitten with the brand's aesthetic and reputation, you can find refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, and cooktops made by them as well. It's giving us full kitchen transformation vibes.
<h3>Cookware and Bakeware&nbsp;</h3>
To go with their bigger products, KitchenAid has tons of kitchen basics. When you mix a cake with your KitchenAid mixer, you can scoop it up with a KitchenAid spoon and pour it into a KitchenAid baking tin. Pots, pans, utensils, trays, and baking tins are all available through the KitchenAid brand—because when you're creating a cohesive kitchen aesthetic, it doesn't really count as going overboard, right?
<h3>Attachments and Accessories&nbsp;</h3>
One of the great things about KitchenAid is that it lets users customize their purchases. If you want to get creative, you can find all sorts of attachments that transform the functionality of your KitchenAid products. For example, the stand mixers work with attachments that turn them into pasta makers, meat grinders, and grain mills. We're talking serious kitchen versatility here.
<h3>Limited-Edition Items&nbsp;</h3>
KitchenAid certainly makes high-quality products, but it also wants its items to be fun and stylish as well. Its limited-edition items pair the classic KitchenAid functionality with exciting new looks that spark instant joy. Look for things like stand mixers made in the exclusive Color of the Year or products patterned with fashion designers' logos—these drops are what kitchen dreams are made of.
<h2>The KitchenAid Story</h2>
KitchenAid's story started in 1908 when engineer Herbert Johnson watched a baker working with dough and thought, "There's got to be a better way." Working with the Hobart Manufacturing Company, Johnson created a mixer that was so good it became standard equipment on U.S. Navy ships by 1914. The KitchenAid name actually came about in 1918 when the company started producing smaller models for home use, and a housewife said it was "the best kitchen aid I've ever had."&nbsp;
In the 1930s, KitchenAid developed its trademark streamlined mixer design with the shape we all know and love today. Since then, the company has kept this retro, timeless look for many of its appliances—and we're totally here for it. It's developed a cult following for its vintage appeal and those gorgeous colors that make it so easy to create your dream kitchen aesthetic.
KitchenAid went from a chef's best-kept secret to a total household name in the 1980s. Thanks to massive marketing partnerships (including a major boost from Williams Sonoma) and Whirlpool's acquisition of the brand in 1986, KitchenAid products became the must-have accessories for homeowners who refused to sacrifice style or function. They're now the go-to choice for wedding registries, cooking influencers, and professional designers—and once you see that iconic silhouette on someone's counter, you know they mean business in the kitchen.
<h2>What Is the KitchenAid Aesthetic?</h2>
The KitchenAid aesthetic is all about appliances that are totally worth showing off. Instead of hiding these beauties away in cabinets, KitchenAid basically encourages you to make them the star of your kitchen design.
To help with their appliances' serious visual appeal, KitchenAid produces them in a rainbow of gorgeous colors. From soft pastels to lush jewel tones to those perfectly understated neutrals, KitchenAid has it all. The brand works equally well whether you want a bold statement piece or a subtle accent that effortlessly elevates your space.
The other totally iconic feature of a KitchenAid product? That dreamy retro look. We're talking sleek curves, shiny chrome accents, and those rounded cases that pay perfect homage to the timeless designs of the 1930s and 1950s. This classic style helps the brand feel like a tasteful (and Instagram-worthy) accent that works beautifully with all sorts of decor—because when you're investing in appliances this gorgeous, they really deserve to be seen.
<h2>KitchenAid Bestsellers &amp; Collaborations</h2>
Just about every KitchenAid product—from a humble cookie sheet to a totally high-end oven—has amazing reviews. However, there are a few particular products that especially stand out.
<h3>Artisan Series Stand Mixer:&nbsp;</h3>
This line of mixers has been the brand's flagship product for years, and for good reason. It offers seriously quality mixing power with that sleek style we all know and love. If you're going to invest in one KitchenAid product, this is your moment to go for the classic.
<h3>Cordless Collection:&nbsp;</h3>
For shoppers who prioritize convenience (because who doesn't love fewer cords cluttering up their counter?), KitchenAid has this innovative line of cordless items that'll transform how you think about small appliances.
<h3>Color of the Year:&nbsp;</h3>
Each year, KitchenAid celebrates color trends with a stylish, limited-edition set of appliances in a totally unique color. We're talking exclusive shades that give your kitchen that designer touch.
<h3>KitchenAid X Alamais:&nbsp;</h3>
This collaboration features gorgeous limited-edition prints created by Australian designer Alamais. It's giving us major fashion-meets-function vibes, and when your mixer looks this good, baking becomes an even more enjoyable experience.
<h2>How Much Does KitchenAid Cost?</h2>
Let's be real—KitchenAid is definitely an investment, but we think it's worth it for the quality and style you get.&nbsp;
Here's what you can expect to spend on different KitchenAid products:
<ul>
<li>Stand mixers: $250 - $600</li>
<li>Blenders, processors, and other small appliances: $100 - $300 </li>
<li>Cookware: $50 - $300 </li>
<li>Major appliances: $1,000 - $10,000 </li>
<li>Accessories: $20 - $150 </li>
</ul>
Of course, pricing mostly depends on which specific item catches your eye. Limited-edition items or those gorgeous customized models will cost more than the standard options—but sometimes that exclusive color or designer collab is exactly what your kitchen needs.
Here's the good news: you can definitely find better deals by shopping around at different KitchenAid retailers, especially during major sales events. And don't forget that we've got your back with some exclusive ways to save.

<h2>Brands Like KitchenAid</h2>
If you appreciate stylish, well-crafted kitchen products, there are several other brands worth considering that share similar design philosophies.
Here are the ones that consistently earn our attention:
<ul>
<li>SMEG: Consider SMEG the Italian answer to KitchenAid's aesthetic appeal. While their product range is more curated and the price point runs higher, SMEG excels when you want something genuinely statement-making. Their retro-inspired pieces have this effortless European sophistication that works beautifully in modern kitchens.</li>
<li>Breville: Breville takes a more understated approach to design, but what they lack in color, they make up for in intelligent engineering. If you're drawn to appliances that combine sleek aesthetics with genuinely innovative features, Breville delivers that perfect balance of form and function.</li>
<li>Cuisinart: For those who love KitchenAid's comprehensive approach but prefer a more accessible price point, Cuisinart offers impressive breadth without the premium. It's a smart choice when you want reliable performance and classic design without the investment.</li>
<li>Le Creuset: Think of Le Creuset as KitchenAid's cookware counterpart. Their enameled cast iron brings that same pop of color and timeless appeal to your stovetop, though their focus remains on cookware rather than appliances. The quality is exceptional, and the aesthetic impact is undeniable.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why We Love KitchenAid</h2>
KitchenAid represents everything we value in exceptional home design—the rare intersection of beauty and performance. At Rank &amp; Style, we believe that everyday objects should elevate your space, not simply occupy it. KitchenAid appliances achieve this balance effortlessly, transforming functional tools into design elements that enhance your kitchen's aesthetic while delivering the professional-grade performance serious cooks demand.

What used to be a choice between crunchy helmet hair or styles that gave up by noon has turned into a treasure trove of formulas that rival the expensive salon stuff—sometimes even outperform it.
So what is it we’re after? Hairsprays that hold without the stiffness, protect against humidity without weighing everything down, and smell pleasant instead of like industrial chemicals. These brands listened, and now drugstore aisles are packed with genuinely impressive options that make great hair days accessible to everyone.
We used our Rank &amp; Style algorithm to dig through thousands of real user reviews, best-seller lists, and social media buzz to find the ones that consistently deliver. Here’s what we found:

We're not mad about it. These breezy, sophisticated cuts nail that elusive sweet spot between comfort and sophistication. Whether you're juggling Zoom calls or chasing weekend plans, the right pair flows with you while making the rest of your outfit look more chic. They've basically become the modern woman's cheat code for appearing polished without feeling confined.
Truly great wide leg pants are wardrobe game-changers, transforming basic outfits into something that looks deliberate and chic with their graceful movement and that enviable "I didn't try too hard" vibe. That's exactly why we went down the rabbit hole of wide leg research, combing through endless customer reviews, monitoring social media trends, and studying bestseller lists to find the pairs that people genuinely obsess over and actually wear. Here's what made the cut:

Top 10 Wide Leg Pants That Prove Comfort and Style Aren't Mutually Exclusive

<div><img alt="Image credits: skinceuticals" src="https://www.rankandstyle.com/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstorage.googleapis.com%2Frns-dev%2Fmedia%2Fddba8973-29409c82-anti-aging-serum.png&amp;w=640&amp;q=75" height="500" width="500"/><div>Okay, let's talk anti-aging serums. The good news? We're finally living in an era where these products actually do something instead of just sitting pretty on your vanity. We're talking about formulas with real science backing them up, ingredients that have been tested beyond just throwing them in a jar and hoping for the best.
When it comes to skincare, the difference between what was available even five years ago versus now is honestly staggering. Companies have figured out that we're not buying the snake oil anymore—we want proof, we want results, and frankly, we deserve both. The brands that are winning right now aren't the ones with the flashiest ads (though some of those are pretty great too), but the ones that have cracked the code on actually making skin look better.
So here's what we did. We used our Rank &amp; Style algorithm to analyze thousands of user reviews, best-seller lists, industry recognition, and social media buzz to find the real winners. What we found were these ten serums that people genuinely can't stop talking about. Not because they're trendy, but because they consistently perform.
