Finding the Perfect Rug is No Easy Task

I’m on a mission to find a new rug for my boys’ bedroom, and it’s no easy task. There are simply too many fun rugs to choose from! Here’s a sneak peek at some of my favorite finds:

My sister-in-law just bought IKEA’s Lusy Blom Rug for her playroom, and what a showstopper it is.

I’ve been flirting with Cat’s Paw Blue Wool Hooked Rug by Dash and Albert.

I spied this Alphabet Rug from Overstock. Not only does it look great, but your kids will learn the alphabet too…maybe not in the correct order, but still, such a cute find.

Stripes make me swoon, especially this Rugby Striped Rug from Pottery Barn Kids. You really can’t go wrong with any of their rugs, and, from my experience, the quality doesn’t disappoint.

Where did you find your rug? I’d love to hear other suggestions so I can continue my search.

    Aw the Lusy Blom rug is so cute!! For my son’s nursery I went with a custom rug from AnnaBean. so that I could pick out all the colors and prints I wanted.

    I am loving the “Cat Paw” rug, great colours and it will hide a multitude of sins.
    On the other hand, what organized girl doesn’t love stripes!

    The Lusy Blom Rug is great, but those floors are really nice. I love natural, wide board floors. Great look!

    Great examples! I like them all – each would be suitable for a child’s room.

    Love rugs! If I could change rugs every month, I would! :) They bring so much color and texture to a room. :)

    I ordered my son’s rug from Land of Nod and we are SO happy with it! The denim rag rug hides the grime so well and for a large rug, it’s really affordable! Plus, I think it will be able to grow with his room decor change for a while!

    Not too fond of the printed rugs. I always have this fear the print/colors would clash with future decorating elements. So I prefer the stripes.
