Nursery rugs are a fantastic addition for parents looking to enhance both function and style in their baby's room. If you have hardwood floors, a nursery rug is almost a necessity, as it provides a soft surface for your baby to crawl on. But even with carpeting, a rug adds an extra layer of comfort and helps protect the underlying carpet–there will be spills and spit-up and so on.
From a style perspective, it’s been said (in certain bowling leagues) that a rug can really tie a room together. And it’s true. Choosing the perfect nursery rug can be the final piece to the decor puzzle, complementing the look of the room and bringing life to the entire nursery.
When choosing a nursery rug, it's ideal to go for a larger size to give the room a cohesive look, even if some furniture overlaps. If you have plush carpeting, opt for a firmer rug to prevent wrinkling; for berber carpets, any rug will work. On hardwood floors, add a carpet pad to prevent slipping and add comfort. Cotton rugs are soft and free from synthetic fibers, making them a great choice. Bamboo and wool rugs are also excellent if they fit your budget and there are no wool allergies in your family. For easy maintenance, choose a machine-washable rug. Polyester rugs are easier to clean but contain synthetic fibers, while cotton rugs offer a natural option, though they are more challenging to clean.
