Nursery Rugs

What are the best materials for nursery rugs?

The following features make wool rugs one of the best materials for nursery rugs:

Wool rugs are hypoallergenic and resist bacteria, dust mites & allergens.

Wool rugs offer natural heat retention, are great noise insulators & are natural air humidifiers as wool absorbs moisture.

Wool rugs provide an earthy, organic feel underfoot.

Be aware that babies may put loose fibres in their mouths.

How do I choose the right size rug for a nursery?

To choose the right size nursery rug, measure the spot where you are considering the rug to be placed with masking tape & a tape measure. This will allow you to get a visualisation of what is the right size nursery rug. You may consider a nursery rug that provides a play area for babies & parents. Round nursery rugs are a popular rug shape for the nursery.

What rug patterns and colours are best for a nursery?

Nursery’s aim to provide a calm & peaceful environment. When choosing a suitable rug colour for a nursery, you may select a soft, calming, neutral rug like a grey nursery rug, a blue nursery rug, or even a pastel nursery rug. When choosing a suitable pattern for your nursery rug, consider the style of the room. A mood board can help you choose a suitable pattern rug for your nursery. Transitional rugs, as well as modern rugs, can make great nursery room rugs.

How can I ensure the rug is safe for a baby?

At Lost Design Society, we only sell safe baby rugs. Remember, as wool rugs shed, some young children may place loose fibres in their mouths. A low pile rug is preferable as they are easier to vacuum & allergens are not able to get deep into the pile as they can in a synthetic shag pile rug. Natural fibre rugs also resist allergens.

Regular cleaning will help with the maintenance of a nursery rug. Follow the care instructions provided for your rug.
