Choosing a good floor covering for a children's room is very important, because the kids, playing, spend a lot of time on the floor. In our time, many choose a coating such as carpet. It is quite practical, wear-resistant and, in addition, looks pretty in the nursery.
Let's find out what criteria are applied to children's carpet, and what they are.
Which carpet is better for a nursery?
So, what should be the carpet for the children's room:
- Soft and comfortable, so it was comfortable to sit and lie on it;
- noise-insulating and having antistatic properties;
- Keep warm, especially if your house has cold floors;
- not slippery;
- durable and extremely durable;
- easy to care for.
Choosing a children's carpet, you should know that they are all divided into two large groups - natural and artificial. Each of them has its own advantages.

After all, parents often try to pick up a hypoallergenic carpet for the children's room.
The length of the pile is also different. So, a children's carpet with a long nap looks "warmer" and makes the room more comfortable. However, it is more difficult to take care of it, in contrast to short-tailed - by the way, safer. Optimum choice for the children's room is a pile length of no more than 2-5 mm.

On the children's carpet can be depicted a fairytale forest, the island of pirates, the castle of the princess or your cartoon's favorite cartoon characters. And one of the most popular options is a children's carpet with roads. It suits both girls and boys, becoming the basis for many fun games.
