Discover the Perfect Kids Rugs for Your Home
When it comes to designing your child’s space, choosing the right floor covering matters. A well-selected Kids Rugs piece not only adds colour, comfort and style — it also supports playtime, lounging, study and rest. At GetMyRugs, our curated collection of kids rugs offers fun designs, smart materials and sizes suited to bedrooms, playrooms, nurseries and more.
Why Choose Kids Rugs?
Here’s what a dedicated Kids Rugs collection brings to the table:
- Comfort underfoot. Children spend significant time on the floor — playing with toys, reading, drawing, even lounging — so a rug that’s soft, inviting and appropriately sized can set the tone for that space.
- Defining the space. A good kids rug helps anchor a zone: whether it's a study corner, a play-area under a sofa or a reading nook. It becomes both a floor surface and a design element.
- Style & personality. Children’s décor often benefits from rugs that show character — bright colours, thematic prints, imaginative designs. A rug doesn’t just fill the floor — it becomes part of the fun.
- Durability & practical concerns. Kids rugs face more wear-and-tear, more spills, more foot-traffic than a typical adult space. When you buy for kids, you think about materials, ease of cleaning, safety, slip-resistance and future longevity.
- Growth potential. Choosing a piece now that will still work later as your child grows (or for a sibling, or as the playroom evolves) adds value.
Key Factors to Consider When Shopping Kids Rugs
1. Material & Construction
Choosing the right materials for a kids-rug is crucial. According to design experts, “When selecting a rug for your kid’s room, choose one with a non-slip backing to prevent trips and falls.” Some key guidelines:
- Natural fibers (wool, cotton) offer softness and good durability; wool in particular stands up well over time.
- Avoid high-maintenance or delicate materials like pure silk or viscose in high-use kids-spaces.
- Machine-washable rugs or rugs that tolerate spot-cleaning are a big plus for kids due to frequent spills.
- Certifications matter: When shopping kids rugs, seeing labels like OEKO-TEX, GOTS or other safe-material assurances shows that the rug has been evaluated for harmful substances.
2. Size & Placement
Getting the size right elevates both function and aesthetics. A piece that’s too small may feel disconnected; too large may overwhelm the space. Tips for kids rugs:
- Measure your room and leave some floor space around the rug so furniture, toys or floor-activities flow naturally.
- In a playroom: A large rug that covers most of the floor is ideal for open-floor play.
- In a bedroom: You may place the rug under the bed and extend to a play-area or reading-corner.
- Consider shape: While rectangles are common, round, oval or unique shapes (house-shaped, road-map shaped) add interest and zone a space.
3. Design & Pattern
For kids rugs, design matters not just for style but for practicality and fun:
- High-traffic areas: Patterns can help camouflage minor stains or wear.
- Playful prints: Rugs with roads/maps, educational motifs, animals, fantasy themes appeal to kids and stimulate imagination.
- Colour-scheme: Coordinate with your child’s décor but also allow for future flexibility—so the rug remains useful as tastes change.
- Texture: Flat-weaves are easier to clean; plush high-pile rugs feel luxurious but may trap more crumbs or require more maintenance.
4. Safety & Maintenance
Kids rugs should meet higher expectations when it comes to safety and upkeep:
- Non-slip backing or an anti-slip pad is important to prevent sliding, especially with active children.
- Choose rugs that are easy to vacuum, spot-clean and maintain. Some may even be machine-washable—great for messy play.
- Consider materials that are hypoallergenic or naturally resist dust/mites if your child has sensitivities.
- Regular rotation and vacuuming will extend life, as with any rug — especially important in kids’ spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What size kids rug should I get for a playroom?
A: For a playroom, you’ll typically want a rug that covers most of the open floor space so your child has room to sit, build blocks and play on the floor. Measure the play zone, subtract about 6–12 inches from each wall to leave a border, and choose a size that fits cleanly under large furniture (if any).
Q: Can I use the same kids rug for a toddler bedroom and later for a pre-teen?
A: Absolutely. One strategy is to pick a rug design and colour scheme that can grow with your child (for example a playful but not overly baby-ish pattern). Neutral-toned but pattern-rich rugs or ones with subtle motifs give longevity.
Q: Are machine-washable kids rugs worth it?
A: They can be a very smart choice if your child’s room sees frequent spills, snacks, art projects or pet play. Many design sources highlight the benefit of washable rugs in kids’ spaces.
Q: What materials are best for kids rugs?
A: Wool, cotton and some synthetic blends can work well. Wool is durable and naturally resilient. Cotton is easy to clean but may wear faster. Avoid delicate materials like pure silk or viscose in high-use kids spaces. Also consider certifications and hypoallergenic properties.
Q: How do I keep a kids rug clean and safe?
A: Vacuum regularly, clean spills promptly, use an anti-slip pad underneath, rotate the rug periodically, keep food and drink zones separate when possible, and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Q: How do I select a design that works but still appeals to my child?
A: Consider your child’s interests (themes like animals, space, maps, roads) but also select a piece that complements the room décor and is versatile. A rug that “grows” with your child reduces need for frequent replacement.
Q: Is a high-pile rug better for kids’ rooms?
A: High-pile rugs feel plush and are cosy for sitting/playing, but they can trap debris and be harder to clean. Low- or medium-pile rugs may be more practical in a high-traffic kid zone
