Buy carpet size — guide & Tips
The right carpet size for a children's room largely determines function and room feel. In this category you will find 217 items in various dimensions – from small 70 x 100 cm carpets to large variants that almost fill the entire room. Children's carpets serve several purposes: they create a soft play area, dampen footsteps, and give the room a clear zoning. Before choosing a size, measure the available floor area precisely and take furniture positions into account. A carpet that is too small often looks lost, while one that is too large can block doors or create tripping hazards.
The most popular formats for children's rooms are 100 x 160 cm and 120 x 170 cm – they fit well under a single bed or in front of a toy box. For larger rooms, we recommend 140 x 200 cm, which define a complete play corner. Also pay attention to the material: short pile (e.g., polyester or cotton) is easy to care for and sheds little; long pile feels cozy but collects dust faster. For allergy sufferers or toddlers who play a lot on the floor, washable models like those from Lorena Canals are a practical advantage. The motifs range from road maps to animals to geometric patterns – choose a design that will bring lasting joy and is not too childish, so the rug will still be liked in a few years.
A common mistake: the rug is placed directly in front of the heater. This impairs air circulation and can lead to mildew stains. Leave at least 10 cm of distance from radiators and walls. The underlay also plays a role – a non-slip mat under the rug increases safety, especially on smooth floors like laminate or parquet. In our section large children's rugs you will find sizes from 160 x 220 cm, ideal for play tunnels or reading nooks. If you need an unusual size, check the group other sizes – there are oval, round, or special sizes that do not fit the standard grid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rug size do I need for a baby room?
For baby rooms, formats around 100 x 160 cm or 120 x 170 cm are recommended. They fit under the crib or in front of the changing table and leave enough space for crawling. Larger rugs (140 x 200 cm) are useful if the rug is to cover the entire play area in the room. Make sure to have non-slip undersides so the rug does not slip when your child pulls themselves up. Materials like cotton or microfiber are skin-friendly and washable at 30 °C – a plus point for soiling.
Can I lay a children's rug on laminate?
Yes, that is perfectly possible. However, you should use an anti-slip underlay so that the rug does not slide. Especially on smooth floors, we recommend special rug anti-slip mats. In our blog „Laying laminate on carpets: Is it really possible?“ you can learn more about the combination of rugs and hard floors. In general: short-pile rugs are easier to clean and shed less – ideal for allergy sufferers. When choosing, make sure the rug does not have a soft latex backing that could leave stains on laminate. Suitable models have textile backs or edge binding.
How do I best clean a large children's rug?
Regular vacuuming with an upholstery nozzle attachment extends the lifespan. For stains, immediately blot with a damp cloth and mild detergent – do not rub. Many models in this category are machine washable, such as the washable rugs from Lorena Canals. Check the care label: wash at 30 °C gentle cycle and dry without spinning. Dry cleaning with carpet powder is an alternative for sensitive materials like wool. Avoid harsh chemicals as children often play directly on the rug and could inhale residues.
Which underlay is safe for my child?
A non-slip underlay is especially important on smooth floors such as laminate or tiles. In the children's room, we recommend an anti-slip mat made of natural rubber or felt that lies under the entire rug. Make sure the mat does not contain plasticizers or harmful substances – certifications such as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 provide guidance. For rugs on carpet, a thin felt underlay is often sufficient to avoid pressure marks. If the rug curls up at the edges, you can use double-sided carpet tape – this prevents tripping hazards.

A tip: Use the color filters to perfectly match the carpet to your existing decor. Or first decide on a motif (animals, vehicles, stars) and then choose the appropriate size. This way, you avoid the carpet clashing with the rest of the room in terms of color or theme.
