15 Best Kids’ Room Rugs to Add Personality To Their Space

A best seller at West Elm, this rug makes for a bright and cheerful addition to any room. And thanks to the durable, vacuum-friendly fibers, it’ll definitely stay that way.

Any performance fabric Pottery Barn kids’ rug is a safe bet, but we love the sweet polka dot pattern in this one. It’s available in four colors (natural, pink, blue, or navy) so you can match with the rest of their decor. Plus, it’s made from a high/low pile, so it’s plush enough to soften the pitter-patter of little feet, but it’s still sturdy enough to be cleaned with a vacuum or spot treatment.

Revival’s Gambit rug is both plush and washable—and comes in a checkerboard print that is so cool, you’ll be a little jealous that you didn’t get one for your own bedroom! “This rug looks amazing in our playroom,” raves one reviewer. “I am so obsessed with it, and it is so soft. We have gotten so many compliments on it already.”

Consider low pile, washable rugs when shopping for your kid’s room (or any high-traffic area in the house, for that matter). Not only is stain removal easier, but many—including this colorful striped rug from Rugs USA—can fit into a standard washing machine.

Now this is a rug that’s out of this world—literally! If your little one is obsessed with outer space, they’ll love this fun cosmic rug that’s filled with stars, constellations, and vivid plants. (Meanwhile, you’ll be blown away by how stain and water-resistant it is.)

Over 1,000 Amazon customers have left glowing reviews of this affordable botanical print rug, which is available in nine different colors and even more sizes. “We bought this rug to replace a previous one we had in our daughter’s bedroom, and it was a great purchase,” writes one reviewer. “The rug is very, very soft…It comes with directions for washing, so upkeep is very easy. The colors are vibrant and consistent.”

The whimsical design isn’t the only eye-catching thing about this rug! The yarn is finished with a dazzling shimmer that shifts under the light and will create a truly magic experience for your kiddo.

In addition to being machine washable, this large area rug has a non-slip backing that’ll help keep it more securely in place. As any parent can attest, something that’s slip resistant is a crucial safety feature to have around active kids.

Don’t be surprised if your child wants to take every nap on this cozy rug, which is so fluffy that Rugs USA claims it’s like “walking on a cloud.” They’ll also appreciate having the soft space to lie on while reading books or listening to music.

Founder and designer Lorena Canals was inspired to make her first washable rug after watching her own daughters playing at home. Over 20 years later, her kid-friendly brand has now become known for its high-quality (and machine washable) kids’ room rugs, playful designs, and sustainable practices.

For a touch of unexpected elegance in your kids playroom rug, look for a classic Persian-inspired rug in bright, childlike colors. The vintage, worn-in finish will also hide any rough-and-tumble play from a little one well.

Children’s book author, illustrator, and mom Amanda Jane Jones designed this adorable dino mat. It’d be the cutest addition to a dinosaur-themed bedroom or playroom. (Note: Because it’s a high-pile rug—which is what makes it so soft and comfy—shedding is to be expected at first, but should even out over time.)

The retro rainbow on this West Elm kids’ rug has such a nostalgic feel, you’ll be warmly reminded of your own playroom growing up. Don’t let the white background deter you, either—it’s vacuum-friendly and machine washable, so cleaning is a breeze.

This Ruggable collaboration with Jungalow founder and interior designer Justina Blakeney actually makes for a wonderful kids’ rug, too. Not only is it stain and water-resistant, but the fantastical design is sure to ignite your child’s imagination.
