The air from the register/vent blowing into a bedroom must find its way back to the central cold air return somehow. This is usually accomplished by having a large enough crack/cut under the door above the carpet or flooring for the air to move through. If you do not allow the bedroom air to flow back to the central cold air return, the bedroom will become uncomfortable - usually to hot or to cold. Another solution is to install a grille in the bedroom door to allow the air to flow through.
