If you’re in the process of decorating your nursery, you’ll want to make sure to add an area rug to your shopping list. Given how much time you and your little one will be spending on the floor—playing, dressing, practicing tummy time, and more—a rug is definitely a nursery essential. Note that even if your nursery already features wall-to-wall carpeting, an area rug is an excellent way to cozy up the space a bit more while adding some color and personality.
We’re so excited to have recently launched nine new area rug offerings, which range in style from colorful to simplistic. All of these rugs are handmade in Brazil using ultrasoft cotton, so you know that you and your little one will be nice and comfortable as you kick back.
Below, we’re sharing a few tips for how to style some of these new rugs depending on your desired nursery aesthetic. What is particularly ideal about these rugs is that they’re all pieces that will stand the test of time—none of the designs are baby-specific, meaning that this is a decor item that will grow with your child as you move onto designing a big kid room!
There’s nothing more classic than a blue and white stripe print—the design reminds us of summers on the New England coast and preppy button downs. Whether you’re looking to simply embrace these timeless hues in the nursery or hope to also weave in some coastal or nautical design elements into Baby’s space, you can’t go wrong with our Tide Area Rug. Pair it with our Beach Day Mobile to bring oceanfront vibes to the nursery, or add our Lemon Drop Mobile into the mix for a bit of extra cheer.

If you’re a major color lover, a nursery rug like the Rainbow Area Rug is a no-brainer. Make Baby’s space nice and vibrant with other rainbow-themed accessories, such as our Arches Mobile, which features a happy rainbow design and some accompanying clouds, or our Carnival Wall Mural, which depicts a cheerful circus scene. Finish off the look with our Stripes Quilt, which mimics the design on the rug.

For a sweet and simple look, opt for our Fog Area Rug, which has a charming woven design. If you’re aiming to root Baby’s space mainly in neutrals, you’re going to want to pick up our Swan Mobile to add to the space. For a bit of color, work our Swan Lake Quilt into the mix to keep the theme going and add a touch of pink to the room.
