When I began decorating our nursery in preparation for our firstborn, finding the best nursery rugs was of utmost importance. As a person with cold feet—and I mean that in the most literal sense—rugs are an absolute essential in my home. In a shoes-off household, I like knowing that my toes will be nice and toasty no matter what room I’m in or what the weather is like outdoors.
Rugs are one of my favorite items to shop for while traveling—I have multiple hand-tufted rugs from Morocco, a patterned rug that I found in Bogota, and a kilim rug I love so much that I’ve transported it through five moves. But with a newborn, my rug priorities quickly shifted to outfitting a baby’s nursery. Once focused on pattern, style, and story, my sights are now set on kids rugs that are hypoallergenic, plush, easy on the knees, machine washable, pill-free, and stain-resistant.
My partner and I spent months researching, testing, spilling, spot cleaning, spilling some more, and chatting with parents in the design industry to identify which nursery rugs came out on top for beautiful baby rooms. Here, some of our favorites that will suit both you and your little one.
