How to Choose the Perfect Rug: Children's Room Edition
Choosing the perfect rug for a child's room can be a daunting task, so we sat down with our expert sales team to reveal the four key areas to consider when purchasing: texture, material, colour & pattern.
Texture:
"A nursery or playroom is the perfect space to be playful and indulge in some whimsy with textures, varying pile heights and or colour and pattern. A softer and dense pile acts as a gentle cushioned surface for any playtime on the floor and is cosy underfoot."

“When it comes to material, we recommend the use of wool in children's rooms. A natural material that is hypo-allergenic, soft to-the-touch, long-lasting and easy to clean.” - Emma Elles-Hill, UK Showrooms Director

Colour and Pattern:

Custom Project by Beata Heuman
If the room begins as a nursery and later transitions into an office, the consideration of colour and pattern is vastly different to the evolution of a child through adolescence and into adulthood. We recommend working with patterns and colours that can be playful yet will transition as the space does. Paul Smith's joyful wool designs or Fiona Curran's colourful Palette and Zap are a great place to start.
“Colour and pattern are always personal preferences but consider how the space will evolve over time as a family and their needs and tastes change.” - Emma Elles-Hill, UK Showrooms Director
