Lorena CanalsGalaxy Washable Rug

Lorena Canals makes design-conscious decor with children in mind.

Galaxy rugs make are great in nurseries or kids rooms—they’re playful but not cloying, with natural-colored cotton “drawings” on a black background.

The oval rug has a line drawing of a spiraling Milky Way with planets and stars, where the rectangular rug features stars, meteorites and a rocket ship.

These rugs are machine washable—yep, you read it right. This is huge for parents with young children who spend a lot of time on the floor. You don’t have to worry about spills or spit-up when you can easily toss the rug in the washer.

The company emphasizes quality from start to finish, using 100-percent cotton so rugs are soft, light and flexible. The rugs are handmade in India using natural dyes and non-child labor, and they meet all quality and safety regulations for children. Since they are handmade, each one is unique: the small variations in shape and color are part of the charm. One thing to note about these rugs is that they’re low-pile, so they’re not super thick. If you’re using one on a wood floor, you might want to pair it with a rug pad to add cushion and prevent slipping.

If you love the planetary theme of these rugs, check out Lorena Canals Galaxy cushions, too.
