Why A Large Kids Rug?

A large kids rug is the perfect thing to transform your little one’s room, and it can introduce fun designs to brighten the space.

If your child has a bedroom or play space with room for a rug, you’re missing out if you choose not to get them one! A large kids rug will change the atmosphere of your child’s room, making it a safer, more fun place for them to be in.

When interior decorators look at large kids area rugs, they’re considering color psychology, shape, personality, and how long the child will take to outgrow the design. The following ideas will show you how a professional might use a large kids rug in a home:

• You can place extra large kids rugs in spacious bedrooms, covering all but a 12” trim around the room. The rug can also go directly under the bed, depending on where it is placed in the layout, padding the rest of the space, and adding color.
• You could use paint splatter style large rugs for kids rooms if your child is interested in art, and also for infants and toddlers. The colorful motif of a paint splatter rug is bright, positive, and stimulating for children.
• You might use large rugs for boys rooms or girls rooms that match the rest of the home. For example, black and blue or red swirls might go with the house while still appealing to the tastes of older children.

A Closer Look At Large Kids Area Rugs

Large area rugs are perfect for making your child’s room or nursery more fun, supportive, and exciting to grow up in. The following color associations can help you make the right choice for your little one:

• Red: Love, appetite, and passion. Opt for smaller doses of red as it may cause anger when used in large quantities.
• Orange: Energy, happiness, and creativity.
• Yellow: Happiness, joy, and playfulness. May cause agitation and discomfort in large quantities.
• Green: Calming, nature, and cooling.
• Blue: Relaxing, study, and concentration.
• Purple: Calming, uplifting, and mystery.
• Brown/Tan: Earthy, wholesome, and neutralizing.
• Grey/Silver: Futuristic, stormy, and neutralizing.
• White: Innocence, cleanliness, and joy. May be more difficult to keep clean in a kid’s room.
• Black: Rebellious and dramatic.
• Pink: Soft, innocent, and sleepiness.

Consider your child’s favorite colors while browsing this chart to find the right choice for their new rug.

Is A Large Kids Rug Right For Me?
