Carpet in the nursery

When designing the interior of a children's room, the choice of carpet on the floor is very important. Many parents doubt, but is it worth buying? It is believed that he collects dust and can cause allergies . But there is also the opposite opinion:

• carpet protects the child from injury when falling;
• Cover on the floor warms in winter and protects the baby from colds;
• The carpet has good sound insulation and softens the noise from the child's running or from the steps of the mother during the child's sleep;
• properly selected carpet coloring develops the child and is a place for games.

It turns out that the carpet in the nursery is needed. But it is very important in his choice to observe certain rules and take into account the characteristics of children's physiology and development.

How to choose the right carpet in the nursery?

1. The most important thing that you should pay attention to is the material from which it is made. It is believed that the best coatings from natural materials: flax, cotton, silk or wool. But such carpets are very expensive, complex in care and short-lived. Therefore, most parents buy synthetic or mixed materials. But when buying, you must always pay attention to whether there is a strong smell from the carpet. Most often synthetic carpets do not cause allergies, are easy to clean and are inexpensive.
2. For the carpet on the floor, the length of the pile is also very important. It will be good for a small child to crawl on a soft covering with a long nap, to gently fall on it and play warmly on it. But many experts do not recommend such carpets to be put in a nursery. It is believed that because of the long nap can go bad kid, it is more dirty and accumulates a lot of dust, as well as entangled in small toys and details of designers. Therefore, it is recommended in children's carpets with a short nap, which are also soft and pleasant to the touch.
3. And what size should I choose for a carpet in the nursery? Many parents prefer to cover the entire floor with carpet, removing its edges under the baseboard. This option has, of course, advantages. For example, the fact that the child will not stumble over the edge of the carpet, it will not slip and wrap around. But for the children's room is still an undesirable option. After all, you can not remove it and clean it, which is very important to do in the nursery regularly. Over time, it will accumulate a lot of dust, which you can not clean with a vacuum cleaner.

Therefore, it is more preferable to lay in a children's carpet that is not retracted under furniture. So you can allocate a room in the room or put a mat at the bed. It will be easy to do cleaning by removing and shaking out the carpet. In this respect, small rugs or long rugs are most convenient. But their drawbacks can be attributed to the fact that they are tucked and ride on the floor during children's games.

4. When choosing a carpet you also need to focus on the desires and preferences of the baby. Covering the floor will not only complement the interior, but also a place for games. For example, a children's carpet with roads provides a huge space for the imagination of the baby, allows you to take the child with exciting games without buying additional devices. This carpet is universal, because it can not only play, but also learn the rules of the road. In this respect, a child's carpet for a boy is harder to pick, because he is unlikely to like the coating on the floor with flowers or little animals.

When designing a children's room, many factors need to be taken into account. And to purchase all the details of the interior to be approached with special care. After all, it will depend not only on your child's mood, but also on his health, safety and development.
