Given that children spend a lot of time playing on the floor, a playroom rug is simply a must-have. But not all children’s rugs are created equal – that’s why I’ve rounded up 12 playroom rugs that come highly recommended by parents, including the Ideal Home editors who have kids of their own.
Playroom rugs offer the perfect cushioning for any ground-based play. So when shopping for the perfect rug for your little one’s playroom, it’s important to factor that in and choose a design that’s soft enough for your kids to comfortably sit and lie on for an extended period of time.
Stains and spillages are very common with children so a rug design that’s easy to clean is going to make your life a lot easier. But while the practicalities are of the highest importance, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style and whimsy as there are many chic and adorable children’s rugs out there.
But if you’re not sure where to buy the best rug for your little one’s playroom, I’ve done the research so that you don’t have to and found 12 of the best rated rugs available, including the one that our Senior Digital Editor, Jenny McFarlane couldn’t recommend enough – the Totter and Tumble Morris & Co. The Strawberry Thief Playmat which many other parents swear by. ‘I wouldn't consider any other playmat. It lives in the playroom and we love it, we’ve had it for years,’ Jenny says.
