Rugs aren’t only for adults; they can have all the durability and sound-muting that you love while also being fun for kids! Stick a rug in any kid’s bedroom or play room to add a little umph to your child’s favorite places to play!
You don’t have to sacrifice your personal style or the color palette you’ve chosen for your home when decorating kid-friendly spaces. There are ways to incorporate rugs without breaking away from your sophisticated style. For example, choosing an abstract design that uses the bold primary colors your kids are learning to love! Abstract designs like to play with shapes: which let you play around with chic, geometric styles while also looking fun and cool for kids (who, if young enough, are excited to point out how the rug matches the new shapes they’ve learned about).
You can also dip into the kiddie pool while holding onto some sophistication with a rug that uses familiar shapes in a chic way. Like a colorful rug that isn’t just alternating bars of color, but designed to look like colored pencils laying next to each other! Show off a little of your artsy side and get the kids inspired to doodle. The neatness of a pattern like that gives the rug and the room a uniform look amongst the chaos of toys and art supplies.
Bold colors are the key to whatever you choose, as those are what bring out creativity best in kids! Another great idea is picking a rug with lots of bright colors and then using that as your palette for the rest of the room. You’ll need boxes for toys and bins for organizing markers and crayons, so why not add more color and pizzazz to the room by pulling from the rug! Make your rug the centerpiece and focal point of the room by bringing out its bold hues throughout the room. (It will also help any wall scribbles fit in!) Again, you get the cohesive look you love, while they get to feel energized.
If you really want to dive in and aren’t focused on every room being chic and sophisticated, go straight for educational rugs. Designed for kids, alphabet rugs and rugs with animals or people or buildings (etc.) are a fantastic way to liven up a play room. They may not be as chic as other options, but they’re perfectly fitting for spaces occupied by little learners.
When thinking about kids, bold, colorful, and energizing are great themes to keep in mind. You want your kids’ spaces to stimulate them to keep the fun and creativity flowing. These spaces are building blocks for the rest of their lives, where they learn how to get in touch with their creativity, learn to share, and implement what they’re learning in school. They’ll remember these spaces forever, so you want them to look good!
