Better Floors and Gardens Rug, Cream - $299
A bright floral rug is perfect for a kids' room. Imagine an entire girl's room designed around the beautiful winding vines and blooming flowers — I'd add plenty of accents in teal, marigold yellow and coral pink.
Zigzag Rug, Pink - $249
Chevrons are very popular right now, and here's a version that's easy to incorporate into a playroom or kids' space. The bold zigzag makes for a fun, eye-catching pattern.
Aztec Support Rug, Blue - $249
This tribal rug would be a neat inspiration piece for an entire kids' room, for boys or girls. I love the pattern it brings to a space.
Honey Bun Rug, Orange - $249
I love this orderly pattern with a playful swirl. The even pattern of circles keeps the rug from becoming chaotic, but the playful hand-drawn spiral adds a bit of whimsy!
Crow's Feet Rug, Aqua - $179
This classic crow's feet pattern turns a handwoven rug into the perfect base for building a kids' room on. It's pretty enough on its own, but it's also simple enough to pair with plenty of other colors and patterns.
Addison Rug, Khaki - $149
Sometimes a neutral color can work wonders in a space full of children's toys and books. This soft tan and antique white trellis print would help to ground a busy playspace.
Broad Stripe Rug, Blue - $249
This rug's bold and broad stripes would match well with a range of styles in a playspace or little boy's room.
Aquarium Gravel Rug - $299
Bright and colorful, this Aquarium Gravel rug looks just as it's named: like the perfect colorful pebbles found at the bottom of a fish tank. I love the bold, saturated mix of reds, oranges, blues and yellows. It's perfect for a fun playroom.
Heirloom Rug, Pink - $179
Covered in a pretty and classic circle design, this is a rug that will easily grow from nursery to toddler to teen room. I love the blend of light and dark raspberry pink.
Twinkle Chocolate Brown Kids' Rug - $88.99
Chocolate brown brings a nice neutral tone to a kids' space, but the whimsical floating stars add a bit of kid style!
Zigzag Rug, Blue - $249
The layered blues in this zigzag rug add a little boyish charm to a bold pattern, making it perfect for a little boy's space.
Addison Rug, Lavender - $149
A classic trellis print is reinvigorated in a sweet lilac purple color for a playroom or girl's space.
Chevron Wool Rug - $99
Bold chevron stripes make a statement in a kids' room. This plushy rug would be perfect for play time and for adding a stylish accent to a nursery.
Lil Mo Whimsy Polyester, Hand-Tufted Rug, Ivory, 2'x3' - $59
A woodsy theme lends itself well to a little boy's nursery — and how adorable are those whimsical animals?
Over-dyed Pink Rug - $855
This over-dyed rug has plenty of saturated color and pink nursery room appeal! Check out the rich tones and the slightly striated design. Very cool!
Handmade Alexa Flat-Weave Cotton Rug, Yellow - $149.99
Flat-weave rugs can be ideal in a kids' room. While they're not as soft and plushy as wool, they come in a variety of shapes, sizes and patterns at great prices. Plus, they are easy to replace if juice or accidents cause big spills. This yellow beehive pattern is one of my favorites.
Handmade Alexa Chevron Wool Rug, Green - $189.99
Here's another example of a rug that will grow with a baby to high school and beyond (if it can be kept clean for 18-plus years). I love the chevron print and the soft green. It's the perfect base for a nursery space.
Homespun Maia Trellis Pink Rug - $289
Kids' rooms should be whimsical and fun, a reflection of the imagination and playtime spent in them. I love the pink, orange and white colors, and the unusual shapes that are quite whimsical indeed.
Fergana Ederra Trellis Bright Multi Rug - $266
Color and more color! I would love to design an entire playspace around such a bold and delightful rug.
Homespun Modern Trelllis Charcoal Rug, Light Blue - $136
The soft slate blue in this trellis-print rug offers a tranquil color palette for a nursery or boy's zone.
