Purple Kids Rugs

Why A Purple Kids Rug?

There’s something special about picking the perfect purple kids rug for your little one’s nursery, playroom, or bedroom. Purple is a playful, fun color that children love, and it’s easy to decorate with!

If you’re thinking about putting a purple kids rug in your little one’s space, you’re onto something great! Many of these rugs will have a timeless quality that allows you to keep the same rug through several different ages and stages.

When an interior decorator uses a purple kids area rug, they’re playing with colors to brighten the space. Purple is a gender-neutral color in comparison to pink or blue, which also makes it great for shared rooms.

The following ideas offer insight into how a professional might use a purple kids area rug in a room:

• A purple nursery rug will usually be soft, to pad the floor for little hands and feet, with fun and bright accents. Braided rugs can work well, too, since they can stand up to foot traffic while still insulating the floor.
• A purple rug for girls room décor might include other colors, like pink, and floral designs that go with existing accents.
• A purple rug for boys room décor might have darker shades, natural textures, and colors like green and blue in the mix. These elements are also common in gender-neutral spaces.

A Closer Look At Purple Kids Rugs

Interior decorators like using purple in children's rooms for more than just the aesthetic. Look at its associations in Feng Shui and color psychology:

With traits like calmness, love, and creativity, purple is a sound choice to support your little one from the ground up.

Is A Purple Kids Rug Right For Me?

Use a color picker tool to determine if a purple rug will work in the room you’re decorating. Think of different shades like violet, lavender, plum and more...If it’s a match with your current palette, ask yourself:

• Does my child/do my children like purple (if they're old enough to have a preference)?
• Do I care about how the kids room works with the rest of the house’s décor? If so, does purple work well with my existing décor throughout the house?

These questions will help you determine if you have picked the right color for your kids rug. If so, next you'll want to think about size.

Measure the room that the rug will be in and then subtract two feet from the width and the length. This is the maximum size for your rug, since most decorators like to keep 12 inches of space between the wall and the edge of the rug.

Choosing The Perfect Purple Kids Area Rug

As you browse available designs, save your favorites to compare before you make your purchase. If your little one is old enough, consider letting them see your selections and giving them a choice from those. This will allow them to feel like they got to pick their rug while still ensuring you'll like what you buy.

Don’t forget a rug pad to prevent sliding and to make the surface softer for hands and feet!
