Little Dutch Children's Rugs
Little Dutch children's rugs are enchanting rugs for your child's or baby's room. They combine decorative and functional elements for child-friendly room design.
Little Dutch Children's Rugs
The two Little Dutch children's rugs in this category combine playful design with everyday functionality. They are specially designed for children's and baby rooms and convince with well-thought-out motifs that appeal to both girls and boys. The Rug Dots olive (170 × 120 cm) brings a calm note to the room with its soft, earthy dots – ideal for a relaxed play or cuddle zone. The Rug "Space" Rocket (80 × 130 cm) on the other hand delights with a space-inspired motif and is perfect as a small accent in front of the bed or in the reading corner.
Both models are made from robust, easy-care materials that withstand the daily wear and tear of a children's room. When purchasing, make sure the rug lies non-slip on the floor and does not shed fibers – especially if your child is still crawling or plays on the floor a lot. The specified dimensions help you choose the right size for the intended area: A large rug serves as a central play rug, a smaller one as a decorative accent or as a base for a beanbag. Thanks to their pollutant-tested production (often according to Oeko‑Tex® Standard 100), they are safe for babies and toddlers.
Currently two models are available:
Little Dutch rug Dots olive 170 × 120
Quiet dot pattern in olive – fits well with wood and pastel furniture.
Little Dutch rug "Space" Rocket 80 × 130 cm
Motif rug with rocket – ideal as a thematic eye-catcher in a space-themed children's room.
Before ordering, consider whether the rug will later be in a corner with a lot of walking or play traffic. Both variants can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent when needed. The flat weave structure prevents small objects like building blocks from disappearing underneath – a practical side effect for everyday family life.

If you would like to expand your selection of designer children's rugs, it is worth taking a look at the overview for the overarching Carpet Brand. There you will find other manufacturers with a similar philosophy besides Little Dutch – for example Lorena Canals rugs, which are known for their washable and handcrafted models. While Little Dutch focuses more on clear, child-friendly graphics, Lorena Canals offers variable shapes (round, oval) and natural cotton quality – a useful comparison if you are looking for a particularly easy-care or shape-flexible rug. Both brands share a focus on pollutant-free materials and appealing aesthetics but differ in price level and degree of customizability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Little Dutch rugs suitable for crawling babies?
Yes, the rugs are tested for harmful substances (often according to Oeko‑Tex® Standard 100 or similar certifications) and have a flat, firm surface. They contain no loose fibers that small children could swallow. The non-slip underside (integrated in some models, a separate underlay recommended for others) ensures secure grip on smooth floors. Nevertheless, you should regularly check whether the rug is still lying flat – especially if your child crawls a lot on it or is taking their first steps.
What is the best way to clean a Little Dutch children's rug?
For daily care, a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment is sufficient. For stains, blot them immediately with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent (e.g., baby shampoo) – do not rub, so as not to damage the color. Most models can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle (check the care label). Hang the rug to dry afterwards or lay it flat; a dryer is usually not recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can fade the colors.
Which size is ideal for an average children's room?
The two available models cover typical areas of use: The large rug (170 × 120 cm) fits well as a central play area in a room of about 10 m² or more – in front of a toddler bed or under a small table. The smaller rug (80 × 130 cm) is suitable as a runner by the bed, as a decorative accent in a reading corner, or in front of a shelf. Measure the free floor area in advance and consider furniture that will later stand on it. A rug should extend at least 30 cm beyond the edge of the bed if it is to serve as a bedside rug. Both sizes can be flexibly combined if you want to create several zones in the room.
In short:Little Dutch children's rugs combine child-friendly motifs, robust workmanship, and freedom from harmful substances. The current selection includes two models (Dots olive 170×120 and Space Rocket 80×130), which are suitable for play and rest areas. Pay attention to a non-slip underlay, easy-care materials, and the right size for the room. Both rugs are machine washable and suitable for allergy sufferers. If you need other designs or shapes, it is worth looking at neighboring brands such as Lorena Canals.
