How do I choose the best rug for my kid's room?

Material

Choosing the material is vital to selecting the right rug for you. The material used will determine its durability and softness, so when choosing the best material for a child’s room, you may want to consider the following:

1. Functionality and comfort for playing on the floor.
2. Stain-resistant or easily cleanable after tea parties, afternoon playdates, having friends over after school, and all the other sorts of activities that will make the rug vulnerable to wear and tear.
3. Hypoallergenic, i.e., a rug that doesn’t shed like one of our machine woven rugs.

Here are your best material options for a kid's room rug:

Our top choice, Polyester – Polyester is a solid choice because it’s stain-resistant, does not fade, and it’s perfect for spaces that receive ample sunlight and where spills and messes often occur.

Cotton – Cotton rugs are hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and are non-synthetic.

Pile Height

There are several different pile heights available on our website. For this purpose of a kid's room, we are going to suggest a shag pile for your child’s room. Why? Here are a few reasons:

1. Shag rugs are non-shedding
2. They come in a variety of materials (polyester, polypropylene, and wool)
3. We offer a ton of different designs, even solid if you prefer something more neutral
4. They add variety in texture to help add character to the room
5. They are soft to the touch, so they are lovely to walk on, sit on, and extra cozy when the weather gets cooler

Consider a Rug Pad

Consider adding a rug pad for extra cushioning for play and protection for your flooring.
