2023 NURSERY RUG TRENDS MAKING A SPLASH
1.VIBRANT COLOR COMBINATIONS
A rug is one of the easiest and quickest ways to inject a large expanse of color into a nursery design without having to paint, wallpaper, etc. In 2023, we expect to see bold rugs in vibrant color combinations setting the color palette for the nursery and adding richness and depth to the space.
2. NATURAL FIBERS
With our attention to the environment, no surprise that rugs made from natural and sustainable materials are trending in 2023. We expect wool nursery rugs to be everywhere with their characteristic soft yet hardy features. They’re water-repellent, luxurious, and so comfortable. In 2023, Sisal wool rugs with the durability of sisal and comfort of wool will also feature prominently in nursery designs.
3. GEOMETRIC PATTERNS
From small scale to big and bold- geometric patterns are a big nursery rug trend for 2023. Rugs with small-scale geometric patterns ground the space and let the rest of the design elements shine, while large-scale geometric patterned rugs take center stage in the nursery design.
4.EARTH TONES
Whether the nursery wall or the floors- earth tones are a big design trend in 2023. We expect to see earth-tone nursery rugs helping to ground nurseries and creating a versatile foundation.
5. TEXTURE
Adding texture to a more neutral nursery can bring depth and interest to the space. In 2023, we expect nursery designs across the board to feature gorgeous textured nursery rugs handwoven by artisans and adding rich dimension.
6.IRREGULAR SHAPES
Irregular-shaped rugs are taking the design world by storm! An irregularly shaped rug can add a dynamic effect and interest to a nursery design. Consider placing an irregularly shaped rug with as much breathing space as possible so it can shine - all on its own. Or overlay for a causal styling approach.
7. NEUTRAL PALETTE
As we yearn for our interiors to get and feel cozier- nursery rugs with neutral color schemes are trending. A neutral rug can soften a space, elevate the design and give the nursery a calming vibe.
