Nursery Rugs

Why Every Nursery Needs a Floor Rug

Baby room rugs are a wonderful addition to your home for a multitude of reasons. For starters, they look incredible and add design interest to the space. Secondly, they are soft to the touch and make milestones like tummy time & crawling a much more comfortable experience.

Thirdly, most kids carpet options have temperature control properties—meaning that they’re cool in the summer and warm in winter. Fourthly, and finally, as your little one grows into a big boy or girl, a nursery floor rug acts as a room divider to separate certain areas of a bedroom. Want to create a play area? Or perhaps a reading nook? Nursery mats will help you achieve these design dreams.

Your Crash Course on Picking the Right Rug

Now that you know why baby room rugs are so beneficial, we bet you can’t wait to browse our Dimensions and Atrium collections & get to work on picking your perfect rug. But before you go ahead and buy the first children’s bedroom carpet you like the look of, there are certain things to keep in mind.

In the following short guide, you’ll learn why these aspects are so important when picking a nursery rug:

• Material
• Shape
• Colour
• Style and Longevity

Material

When picking a baby rug, the material should be your top priority. Sure, you want the gentlest material possible to work with your baby’s gentle skin, but you also want something that will survive toddlerhood!

In terms of softness, it doesn’t get much better than a wool rug. But those come with a hefty price tag and long list of cleaning & maintenance requirements. We know you’re already busy caring for your little one, so you’re probably not keen on adding caring for a rug to your list of things to do.

We recommend opting for a rug material that is soft and comfortable as well as durable & easy to maintain. The best material options for kids rugs are polypropylene, cotton, jute and other natural materials.  

Shape

Rugs come in all shapes—you can even get animal shaped rugs! The main shapes found in nurseries around the world are round, square, and oval. Each shape has its advantages, but this decision should largely come down to your own personal preference.

Round baby room rugs are always a winner as they help to soften a space. Square nursery rugs are great at sectioning a room and giving it a more structured feel. Oval kids rugs are the perfect balance between both of the above.

Colour

Colour is yet another important consideration to keep in mind when shopping for nursery rugs. Is your colour scheme gender neutral and toned down or bright & bold? Are you leaning towards gentle pastel hues or an in-your-face rainbow design?

Generally speaking, rugs should be colourful so they can act as a stimulant and engage your little one. But they also can’t be too colourful so as to detract from a good night’s sleep. The most popular colours for nursery rugs include the following:

• Pink
• Blue
• Yellow
• Grey
• Beige
• Cream

Style and Longevity

What style are you going for? Do you want something striped, dotted, or plain? Do you want a rug with a solid edge or a tasseled one? While the material used largely contributes to the longevity of a kids carpet, the style you pick also determines this.

While you may think that picking a children’s alphabet rug or a dinosaur shaped one is a wise idea, what will happen when your little one grows up and their taste changes? With this in mind, our collection of kid’s rugs have been designed with style longevity in mind. They’ll grow with your little one and never fade out of style.
