Hardwood is usually not a star in a boutique hotel room aiming to scoop you up and soothe you. Likewise, your bedroom flooring should be soft and inviting. "If you have hardwood, make sure you choose a carpeting that is comfortable, like a shag rug," says Nicole Sassaman, a Beverly Hills-based interior designer. For wall-to-wall, go for sumptuous deep-pile carpet in a neutral shade underfoot. If the master bedroom is open to the sitting area, it’s nice to tie it together adding one big area rug. Don’t be afraid to put area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpet for added plush texture. A stunning Oriental rug sets to the tone for this inviting Old World bedroom suite designed by Jackie Glisson.
