There are a couple things that make shopping for kids rugs a
little different than shopping for carpet used in other areas of a
home. While it's true that many people prefer a high, thick carpet
pile because of its soft feel and cushioning, this type of carpet
may not be the most appropriate choice for a child's
room.
First, a lower
pile carpet is a flatter surface for children's play. It won't get
in the way of pulling toys, zooming trucks, and playing
catch.
Also, dirt from
various sources is a bigger consideration in kids’ rooms. A lower
carpet pile makes cleaning and vacuuming easier and more thorough.
Vacuum cleaners are better able to clean all the way down to the
bottom of carpet on low pile rugs.
Therefore, a
pile height that is less than about 1/3 of an inch or so is a great
choice for rooms where children play. As an added bonus, shorter
pile heights generally also increase a rug's durability.
Another
important factor in selecting a carpet for children is the type of
fiber in the carpet. Carpet fibers (either natural or synthetic), as
well as the application of stain treatment, will determine how stain
resistant it will be. Synthetic fibers (nylon or polypropylene) made
from plastic are popular for kids rooms since they usually tend to
be more stain resistant.
Carpets and rugs
for children’s rooms can be purchased from furniture stores around
