Best Nursery Rugs
Because rugs take up a large portion of the visual real estate in a room, the one you choose can set the tone for the look you’re going for.
That’s why when you find a rug that’s a perfect fit with your nursery theme, adds the right punch of color to the playroom or creates a super-soft landing spot, it feels like a major win. (Here are tips on how to choose the right-size rug for your room.)
