Rugs are incredibly practical for a number of reasons. Of course, they perform a very important function in making the house look more stylish and they generally help to make your interiors feel warmer, but there’s more to them than that.
Take, for instance, the impact they have in children’s bedrooms. Rugs can be used as important insulation to make sure that kids’ bedrooms are cosy enough for them to feel comfortable. They also add colour and provide the kind of visual stimulation that is so important for toddlers. Since children’s rooms are also about play and learning, it’s great that rugs provide cushioning and noise insulation for when things get rowdy.
We’ve picked five of our favourite kids’ rugs that are ideal for toddlers’ bedrooms. We’ve tried to keep things gender-neutral so all of the following rug choices are perfect for boys’ rooms, girls’ rooms and shared bedrooms.
Wonderland
Wonderland rugs have something special about them. They’re the kind of rugs that look great in children’s bedrooms right from when they are babies to when they become young adults. They add colour and just the sort of subtle and fun design that makes them stimulating but never too kitsch or too juvenile in their appearance. In short, they’re rugs with real staying power.
Capri
Capri rugs are all about intelligent use of colour. These rugs can also be used to equal effect in toddlers’ rooms and teenagers’ rooms, so they’ve staying power too. They make use of recognisable motifs – iconic cars like VW wagons, musical instruments, the Union Flag and so on – to really connect with people. The colour palettes are gender-neutral which fits in with how a lot of modern parents like to decorate too.
Jeff Banks Kids
The Jeff Banks Kids selection of rugs is a little younger in terms of target audience. Here you’ll find more childish motifs – flowers, cars, dinosaurs, animals and so on – but they are used incredibly tastefully which means they never make a child’s room look unfashionably kitsch. These rugs combine colourful stimulation with a sense of homeliness and fun for playrooms.
Hopscotch
Hopscotch is a game that all toddlers love. It’s a game that helps with their social skills and that also teaches them about numbers, so it’s nice to know that rug designers love putting hopscotch patterns on their younger collections. All sorts of colour palettes and themes are used to make hopscotch rugs more appealing.
Plush shaggy
Not all rugs that look great and feel great in toddlers’ rooms have themes, designs and all the rest. Some are just incredibly soft and luxurious to the touch for tactile children who want very comfortable surroundings. They come in all sorts of colours and they are versatile enough for parents to relocate them as and when they please. Plush shaggy rugs are a good example of the kind of textures and styles homeowners can expect.
