How To Choose Rug Size For Nursery

When choosing a rug size for a nursery, there are a few things to consider:

1. Measure the space: Measure the length and width of the nursery to determine the maximum size rug that will fit.
2. Consider the layout: Think about how the furniture will be arranged in the room and choose a rug size that will accommodate it. For example, if you have a crib and a rocking chair, you'll want a larger rug to place them on.
3. Leave enough space: Make sure to leave enough space around the edges of the rug so that the furniture can be moved easily and door can open and close.
4. Think about the style: Consider the overall style of the nursery and choose a rug that complements it.
5. Consider the function: Think about how the nursery is used and choose a rug that is appropriate for the amount of foot traffic and potential stains or spills.

A general rule of thumb is to ensure that the front legs of the main furniture pieces in the room are placed on the rug, with about 12-18 inches of the rug showing on all sides. A rug that is 5x8 feet or larger is usually a good size for a nursery. It's also important to choose a rug that is soft and comfortable for a baby to play on, and made of materials that are easy to clean and maintain.
