Kid's room decor...Rugs.

The clocks go back tonight...a sure sign that Winter is here, and a time for 'cosying-up' at home.
With this in mind, now's the time to consider adding warmth and comfort to a child's room with a decorative rug....be inspired by these beauties...!

Stripes are always a stylish answer for kid's room flooring...and will compliment future room designs as the little ones get older.

Kids are happy lounging or playing on the floor so consider an 'activity' rug that stimulates imaginative play.
Being an interior designer I love the 'floorplan' doll's house rug above....how smart is that...!



Retro graphic images look fresh and timeless...

...Or animals with a modern design feel...

Look for design trends that suit your interior style...

Quirky shapes appeal to little minds...

I've always loved the Union Jack as a design feature...with the Queen celebrating her Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics coming to London next year this design is set to be a favourite for some time to come...

Jim Banks, the president of American carpet store KidCarpet.com suggests the following when buying rugs for a child's room...
Firstly, go for a fairly flat pile, it's easier to keep clean, is more durable and is easier to play on.
Secondly, consider whether synthetic or natural fibres are more appropriate for your needs...synthetics are more stain-resistant while natural fibres are more comfortable.
