Specialists strongly advise not to use natural floor coverings when decorating a children's room. As a more reliable alternative, it is recommended to cover the floor polyester carpet or a second synthetic material. This is due to many nuances that need to be known and understood before buying a particular model.

What criteria should a children's carpet meet?

A properly selected floor covering for a child's room should meet the following requirements:

1. Environmental friendliness. Synthetics are safe for both adults and children. It does not release any harmful substances into the air. Waste is present only during production, but this is typical even for many factories working with natural raw materials.
2. Hypoallergenicity. Wool often causes allergies in small children, and it is impossible to predict the presence or absence of such in advance, so the risk is quite high. Polyester does not contain any substances capable of provoking such a reaction.
3. Ease of cleaning. Natural fiber is much more prone to dust accumulation. Wool should be regularly and carefully vacuumed, periodically taken to a professional dry cleaner. Synthetics are easier to care for.

Not the last role is played by design and cost. Woolen products are not cheap, and it is problematic to choose a model in a children's stylistic design, since manufacturers strive to make full-fledged models for bedrooms and living rooms. Synthetics are cheaper and are often made with the image of funny cartoon characters and so on.

How to choose a carpet for a nursery?

In order for the child to be as comfortable as possible, you should consider several options for the correct use of woven floor covering:

1. Game area. The kid should not play on the bare floor. This is fraught not only with colds, but also with injuries. Impacts from falling or even rolling over should be softened by the coating.
2. Near the bed. When waking up, the child should step on a warm pile, not on the floor. It is desirable that the blanket completely covers the space next to the bed. It can be made in the form of a track.
3. Study area. So that a child who has taken off his house slippers or socks does not catch a cold while sitting at textbooks or a computer, it is also recommended to cover the floors with a carpet.

It is highly not recommended to choose a strip that completely covers the floor, covering all areas of the room. This will complicate cleaning. It is better to buy several models for each area or change the covers as the child grows.
