Carpet for finishing the floor is convenient because it has a pleasant, soft and warm texture, which creates additional coziness and comfort in the room. That is why most often carpet is used in the bedroom and children's room. The soft, step-dampening and noise-absorbing floor is especially suitable for a nursery. It is very convenient when the baby is sleeping (you can walk around the room completely inaudibly), as well as when the baby or kids are playing, starting noisy fuss with jumping and running around, because such a floor not only drowns out excessive noise, but also saves from bruises when falling,

and just a joy to play on.

Given the intended use of a soft coating, many manufacturers produce children's carpet, which differs from the usual not so much in composition and production method, but in a bright special color. For example, it depicts cartoon characters or, more interesting and original, game cards with paths, streets and houses. You can see, choose and buy it in specialized stores of finishing floor materials. Carpets are made in two types: woven, which is woven on a loom like a real carpet, and non-woven - created using modern technologies that allow you to tightly stitch or glue the finished fabric with pile threads. Woven carpets, thanks to the traditional method of production, are made from natural wool or silk, which increases not only their cost, but also durability. In the manufacture of non-woven materials, synthetic fibers are most often used - nylon, polyamide, vinyl. The denser the fabric structure, the more durable the floor will be. Therefore, when choosing a carpet, you should definitely find out its density (it is indicated by the manufacturer on the roll).

No matter how much we would like to surround the baby with all the best and natural, but it is better to choose children's carpet from synthetics. Such a floor, no doubt, will have a number of necessary advantages. First of all, good synthetics (nylon and polyamide) do not cause allergies, dust and dirt accumulate in it less, especially if you choose a children's carpet with a small pile. Nylon is easy to clean, dries quickly, and does not harbor dust mites and other microorganisms. In a word, those qualities that are desirable for the floor in the nursery are inherent in synthetic material.

Thinking over the color scheme of a room for a child, pay attention to the carpet with a children's pattern. Such a floor, no doubt, will not only decorate the room, but also bring an additional game element to it. It should only be noted that a bright children's carpet with a specific patternwill quickly get bored, the baby will “outgrow” such a floor, which will require replacement of the coating, but perhaps this is for the best, because the pile cloth accumulates a certain amount of dust that is difficult to remove completely.

Carpet in the nursery (photos for an example are given in the article) it is not at all necessary to choose with a pattern, with cars, images of cartoon characters, etc. Material of a more muted color, with an abstract, floral or geometric ornament, is quite suitable. Such a floor is more versatile and will appeal not only to the small inhabitants of the room, but to older children. When choosing a floor covering in a children's room, the main attention should be paid not to the color and pattern, but to the quality and composition of the material from which it is made, but you should not forget about the colors either.
