June 11th, 2009 What Is the Most Durable Type of Rug Suitable for a Child’s Room?

When thinking of choosing the right rug for your child’s room many ideas come to mind. One of the biggest is durability. With more than a thousand designs to ponder over, one often wonders how long the rug will last. Should you invest hundreds of pound just to satisfy a fashion trend? After all, it will need to survive the perils of being rolled on, trampled, pummeled upon. Obviously you wouldn’t spend a thousand pounds on a hand woven rug that the twins are going to scribble magic markers on or play with the family dog. First, you’ll want to start with age. Considering the child’s age and maturity level plays a huge impact on how the rug will be treated.Next think of the size of the play area. How much of the floor are you trying to cover or protect from childhood growing pains? Definitely go with a low fiber rug. One that is more flat than plush will survive better. Also check the outer seams of the rug. It should have a thick seam. They are more likely to resist snagging, fraying, and becoming torn. Since your child will be spending much of its time on the rug, it should be hypo-allergenic, non toxic, and stain resistant. Many children’ s rugs can also be backed with latex to provide a slip resistance safety feature. Materials include acrylic, polypropylene, nylon, and olefin. These materials are typically low cost but can become pricey depending on how intricate the detail is. Wool or natural fiber rugs aren’t made to take on daily abuse and can often fade, or lose their resilience. Don’t get too caught up in theme rugs. Most kids will outgrow them in two to three years. Instead pick a colour that will stand the test of time
