Carpet in the nursery: we understand what to look for when buying

Usually in the process of long-term repairs, insufficient time is given to choosing a floor covering. But in vain, because comfort in the house depends on what lies on the floor: a high-quality floor covering ensures the preservation of heat in the room, to a certain extent it is a noise insulator, and also carries an aesthetic load. If a family has a small child, the problem arises of arranging his room, because children spend a lot of time on the floor. Children's carpet is an excellent solution, because it is characterized by good advantages, which we will talk about.

What options to look for when choosing

Sellers of flooring confidently declare that the popularity of carpeting is growing and statistics are proof of this argument: 30% of the population prefer the coating in question, and this figure is constantly increasing. Why is this happening? The bottom line is that modern manufacturers took into account past mistakes related, for example, to the complexity of care, so it becomes the object of attention of caring parents.

Firstly, the carpet should be soft so that children can comfortably play on the floor without causing injuries.

Secondly, he should hold heat well so that the child could not catch a cold, spending a significant amount of time sitting on the floor.

Important: this aspect is especially relevant if the house has cold floors.

Thirdly, antistatic properties are important so as not to cause an allergy in a child, because today many children suffer from this disease.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the ease of cleaning, as children often stain the floor. And the total control methods are based on the principle, don’t go there, don’t play there, because the spots are then difficult to clean, undesirable. Children are a special category of the population requiring space and freedom of action in games.

Strength and durability should also not be forgotten - most children are active, so there is constant movement on the floor.

Important: a low-quality carpet will soon lose its appearance, so it’s better to pay for a more expensive coating than to throw money away.

And, of course, the carpet with a children's pattern looks more beautiful and the kids like it better - they are much more interested in spending time playing various games.

And with the help of such a design move, you can decorate the interior, adding to its share of originality. It makes no sense to argue, vivid drawings, for example, a fairytale city, islands, pirates, a sea with palm trees or a green forest - look wonderful!

Important: but this does not mean at all that the carpet cannot be monophonic. Here, parents decide what is more suitable for their children.

Natural or not - which one to take?

As for the type of flooring, as a rule, it depends on the age of the child. For example, a velor carpet with a split pile is not only very beautiful, but also pleasant to the touch. But a short pile causes absolute safety, because even if the baby bury his nose in it, nothing bad will happen. The long-nap coating is the most difficult to care for, and for the smallest children it is unsafe.

Carpet in the nursery is not necessary to buy natural, because the rule "buy more expensive" a little does not fit into the framework. The fact is that wool products can cause allergies.However, if parents nevertheless decide to lay an expensive, natural carpet in the room, it is first wise to consult a doctor about allergic reactions.

Sometimes natural fibers can delaminate, which means that a layer of dust and dirt appears on the surface of the coating, which the child will be forced to breathe. Moreover, the formation of various living creatures, that is, microbes, ticks, is not excluded in natural material. It even happens that the carpet can grow moldy, and this, of course, is unsafe for the health of the child.

Adhering to the above recommendations, you can choose an excellent floor covering that will bring joy not only to children, but also create a minimum of care problems for busy parents.

      We read about the risk with natural carpet in time and bought an artificial one in order not to risk it. With a short pile - to facilitate cleaning. But then we made one big mistake: we bought a plain, light beige color. I remember that at that time they still argued that the room was not on the sunny side and I wanted more bright colors. I'd like to give advice to people who also think that will cost. No! With a small child will not do. He will always be in different spots. And to avoid them, an unrealistic amount of time must be spent on cleaning it. Do you have a lot of extra time? That's the same ... And yet, for cleaning the carpet often use various means in which there is a lot of chemistry. And it is difficult to rinse the carpet off them well. Therefore, the next carpet will be darker and not monophonic, but with some patterns.

      More recently, my husband and I made repairs in the children's room and decided to put a carpet on the floor, as it is high-quality and pleasant to the touch, that is, the children will feel soft feet. We were faced with just the question of the quality of the carpet, we decided to take natural. But no one explained to us that the child may be allergic to certain material, it is very good that this did not happen, otherwise the money would have been wasted. This is a great recommendation, now initially I will look for all recommendations for purchases. As for cleaning, but our coating can be cleaned easily and without problems, the appearance was not lost, but of course you need to monitor the children so that they try not to get the floor dirty.

      When we made repairs in the nursery a couple of years ago, we laid a beautiful colored carpet there. Of course there are a lot of pluses in the carpet - this is a beautiful and cheerful floor in the nursery, and the ability to play on the floor, and walk barefoot, and, at the same time, mitigate injuries when falling. But there are certainly disadvantages. After a certain period of time, no matter how I cleaned, spots appeared, the color of the carpet darkened. But in our time, this issue is very simple to solve - they have acquired a special detergent and cleanliness has become much easier. Of course, you constantly have to monitor cleanliness, because children really like to play on the floor, but these are so little things, most importantly the happy smiles of our children :)

      Indeed, when choosing a carpet for children, you are faced with the problem of which carpet to choose: from natural wool or artificial origin. After all, woolen can cause allergies, but it is soft to the touch and will last a long time. Or artificial, which can be tougher and it will be unpleasant for a child to play on it. I also liked the last photo of the nursery, pretty nice and carpet to the place.
