You are designing a baby nursery and there's certain nursery furniture that are essentials. How about a nursery rug though? We'll share our favorite tips on how to choose a nursery rug and best nursery rugs you can incorporate into the nursery design.
When we are decorating a nursery, the nursery rug plays a major part in the overall design. Sometimes, a rug is the inspiration piece we use for the overall nursery color palette. A rug covers a lot of the floor space and therefore, it makes a big statement in the nursery.
So how do you pick a rug for the nursery that's kid friendly? A nursery rug is bound to see some spills and stains along the way. It will be used frequently when crawling and during playtime. You get the idea- it's basically going to see a lot of action.
WHAT KINDS OF RUGS ARE GOOD FOR A NURSERY?
A nursery and kid friendly rug needs to be durable, non toxic and easy to clean. Also, a rug with patterns and prints can hide stains better.
DURABLE
Since there's going to be a lot of wear and tear on the rug, invest in a nursery rug that can withstand the amount of activity. Consider rugs with mid pile since they tend to wear more evenly and are more durable.
NON-TOXIC
Your little one is probably going to spend time on this rug at some point in time. Many synthetic rugs are known to contain volatile organic compounds (or VOCs), which eventually dissipates. But still, there are rugs made from certified organic cotton and wool, should you be interested.
EASY TO CLEAN
This is a huge factor when picking a rug for the nursery. Choose a rug that's easy to clean because you will see spills and stains on it. Wool rugs are stain-resistant and antimicrobial, making it a popular choice with parents with young kids.
PATTERNS AND PRINTS
Look for a nursery rug that features patterns or prints because the chances are, you'll have better luck hiding tough stains on those.
