Finding Great Styles of Kids Area Rugs

By Cid Thompson

Figuring out the best method to decorate your child's room sometimes can be a daunting effort, but a kids area rug is likely to be an easy decision.. There are a couple of items to look for: for example wall paper or paint and other decorations. Coming to a decision on which theme you want as well as how to do it right can take some time, but some sort of rug can work with almost any decor.

Area rugs are a stylish addition to a child's room. The perfect rug can add that burst of color needed to offset the glare of a white or neutral wall. Area rugs also save on the expense of decorating a room based around a theme or character that the child will outgrow. The rug becomes the main focal point.

Paint color and wallpaper can add a fun flair to the room, but remain consistent enough to grow with the child. A princess area rug can be rolled up and replaced with one that has the latest popular television characters. A funky colorful mosaic rug can be laid out during the teenage years with simple accessories to compliment the child's style, all the while leaving the basic design and color of the room the same.

Area rugs can be found in a variety of design choices. For boys, rugs that mimic a racetrack or a railroad station provide hours of excitement while they race their cars, trucks and trains. An imaginary treasure hunt on a rug where X marks the spot or a jungle theme is perfect for an afternoon safari. Girls can tend to their dolls on a dollhouse rug, invite their friends over for a game of hopscotch or play with their stuffed animals at the teddy bear playground.

There are not only unique adventure rugs but also educational ones as well. Rugs with the alphabet, numbers and colors are a great tool for getting a head start on school. For older children, science and geography rugs are entertaining and educational.

Low cut pile or a 100% nylon rug is a good choice for a child's room. Trucks, trains, and cars will easily roll and toys will not get stuck or pull out pieces of the carpet. Cleaning up or removing stains are also easier with a lower pile rug. Most children's area rugs have serged edges which is an important factor. A serged edge gives the rug a nice finish and will prevent fraying. Look for a class one fire rating. This rating meets classroom and government guidelines and is a smart choice for the home.

A themed area rug for a child room is a creative, affordable, and fun mean to spruce things up. Area rugs can make for an exciting everyday adventure or special learning experience for the child. The durability and cost savings compared toredoing an entire room through the years is a fantastic benefit for the parent.
