Best Rugs For Baby Nursery That Are Super Affordable
Want to save some money on your nursery? Affordable nursery rugs are within your reach. You don’t have to spend a fortune on nursery decor to have a beautiful, functional nursery, you can do it on a budget.
I have been doing so much research on finding an affordable nursery rug. My son is 2 years old and we are finally going to be making his room (co-sleepers here lol).
I was shocked to see that some of the rugs I was looking at were over $299 (and that’s the smaller-sized rugs).
So I made it my mission to find affordable rugs that also look amazing, to go into a nursery!

Another from Safavieh, the Dallas shag is so beautiful and easy to clean, as well as soft and durable.

Before you go let’s go over a few nursery rug questions!
How Do I Choose A Nursery Rug?
You may be wondering how to choose the best rug for your particular nursery? The best thing you can do is look for these things:
- Style of rug
- Size of rug
- Comfort & Durability (for baby)
I also found this post really helpful from the NY Times on Home Decor for Beginners if you need help decorating all of your nurseries.
What Type Of Carpet Is Best For Baby To Crawl On?
Though wool is normally thought of because of its soft nature, wool carpets and rugs are usually more expensive.
We love 100% cotton rugs, yes they stain easier but they are softer for the baby to lay on.
Parents also really love rugs made from synthetic fibers because these are rugs that are stain-resistant and anti-flammable.
What Is The Best Size Rug For A Nursery?
You normally see rugs ranging from 4 X 6 to 5 x 8 in nurseries. You can however go a little bigger to make the room feel larger.
If it’s not in the budget to get larger rugby two smaller ones and stack them over each other giving the room a cozy yet larger feel.
Are Rugs With Beads Safe For A Nursery?
You may be able to get away with it while your little one is under 5 months. But after that, they start crawling and I just wouldn’t risk it. At that age, they like to put everything in their mouths.
I’d stick with rugs without beads just to be safe.
If you really like a certain rug and it has beads at the end of it, try cutting them off and using the rug for the style.
How Do I Clean A Rug With Baby Spit Up or Baby Poop?
It happens eventually, you change your baby on the rug or they spit up all over your beautiful rug.
You can do a few things to remove spit-up and stinky messes.
With any stain you get on the rugs – DON’T LET IT SIT.
- If its spit up, throw up or poop try to remove as much of it as you can from the fibers
- Then you’ll want to grab cool water, non-bleach dish soap and white vinegar.
- Mix those three together and let it soak into the carpet
- Dab the spots with a sponge or cloth, and continue to add the mixture
- You will see after a few minutes of dabbing the sponge that the stain is being removed
- Once the stain has been removed add cold water (not the mixture) to the stain and blot it (dab) with a clean rag.
- Finally once it is dry – you’ll want to add some baking soda and then vacuum the rug
