Rugs For Nurseries and Playrooms

Adding a rug to a space is a great way to incorporate texture and warmth, bring in colour, anchor furniture and generally help the room feel more unified. When thinking about a playroom, nursery or child's bedroom, the list of reasons to consider adding a rug or carpet only grows. Rugs help to protect little ones who aren't always steady on their feet from hard falls, while also protecting hardwood floors from dropped toys, spilled juice and the like. In addition, rugs can help to cement a theme in a nursery or bedroom. For example, a rug featuring a depiction of the solar system or even just scattered with stars could be paired some space-themed bed linens and a planet mobile for an out-of-this-world kid's room.

The Details

Pottery Barn Kids' collection of rugs includes a wide range of options in a variety of styles, colours and sizes. You'll find plenty of whimsical designs that are clearly meant for a child's room as well as more neutral rugs that would not be out of place in a living room or other shared setting. In kid-focused spaces, you can opt for boldly patterned rugs to amp up the feeling of playfulness or even choose one of the playroom rugs that features a scene designed to encourage interactive play. If you're looking for something a bit quieter, you'll find a large selection of more understated rugs that are still plenty kid-friendly. All of the rugs available at Pottery Barn Kids are tested to ensure their safety and all are designed for maximum durability. Many of the available options are also machine-washable, so when the inevitable spill happens, clean-up is a breeze. Here's a bit more about a few of your choices:
