There are a number of requirements that must be met if you do decide to lay a carpet in your child’s room:
- Compliance with hygiene standards. It is worth remembering that most of the time the child spends on the floor behind the game, so tactile contact with the carpet happens all the time. That is why it is so important that it meets all hygienic and hypoallergenic standards and has the appropriate documents. Following this rule, the rug should not only visually fit into the interior of the children's room, but also be made of natural eco-materials.Of course, synthetic products are low in price, have a presentable appearance and can perfectly decorate the room, but they are not soft enough, and therefore are not recommended for the children's room.
- Practicality. Children, especially boys, are very active and sometimes deprived of accuracy. Therefore, it is so important that carpets on which they spend a lot of time can be easily cleaned, preferably with ordinary detergents.
- Reliability. A carpet that is exposed to daily activities must be durable, with a long service life, and for its appearance to please the apartment owners for a long time.

In stores you can find both standard - rectangular and oval. But, in addition, carpets can take the form of animals, cars, cartoon and fairy-tale characters, and even puzzles.
If you are engaged in the arrangement of a children's room and want to perform it in a certain style, then the carpet will be your best helper. For example, if you want to organize a space in a maritime theme, then you can complement it with a carpet with a picture of waves or a pirate ship, so that the floor covering will be in harmony with other thematic elements of the room. For the room of a boy who is keen on sports, a carpet imitating a football field is perfect.

If the appearance of the carpet is important to you, then you can choose silk, but do not forget that for a child this is not the most important parameter.
Color solutions
Psychologists have found that bright colors, too excite the psyche of the child, so colors such as red, yellow and bright orange, should not be used for flooring that you want to lay in the nursery.
Green and blue hues are considered to be favorable colors, that is, all those that can be found in nature. They are considered the most optimal for the child's psyche, as they help calm and relax the child, especially during the period of their hyperactivity. In support of this color scheme, it is worth noting that toys on this background are clearly visible and will not be lost.

It is important to remember that in order to create an authentic atmosphere in the nursery, you need to purchase the appropriate wallpaper, use themed paintings and curtains, add room elements like portholes and ropes.
How to care
When the carpet is not too worn out and did not have time to transfer heavy dirt, you can clean it with a vacuum cleaner. If you are an adherent of the "old" methods, then knocking out dust will also work. Also for the care of the carpet, you can use special cleaning products such as shampoos for carpets, foam and others.
Naturally, light, and even more so white carpets, more quickly become soiled and covered with corrosive stains.Therefore, the most popular are coatings with a small ornament, which is able to visually hide small spots.
To preserve the appearance of the carpet and the health of the child, the coating must be cleaned 2-3 times a week. Mandatory annual wet cleaning is required, whether at home, with the use of cleaning products, or in dry cleaning.
