Choosing fixtures and fittings for your house may have once been an exciting and creative process, but after you have children, the most important thing to consider when buying new things is whether they are practical. When it comes to choosing carpets for children’s bedrooms, here are some things to look for.
1) Avoid light colours
Every parent hopes their children will not spill their juice or smear melted chocolate into their brand-new carpet, but let’s face it, the chances of this happening are rather high. That is why it is a wise to steer clear of light-coloured carpets.
Instead, opt for a grey if you’re looking for a neutral shade, or you could even go bold and bright, as kids are sure to love something colourful.
2) Go for something long-lasting
For the same reason, it is wise to opt for a carpet that is durable and can stand the test of time. Mom News Daily recommends looking for carpets made from materials like olefin or nylon “since they will be more resistant against scuffs, spills, stains and tears than carpets made of polyester fibres”.
Carpets aren’t cheap either, so buying one that will last a few years is certainly worth it.
3) Soft enough for little kids
If you have little children, you have to think about what it would feel like to be on your hands and knees most of the day. Picking a flooring that is soft is a good idea, as this will protect their delicate skin, particularly if they are still at the crawling stage.
It is inevitable that new carpets will end up dirty and stained after a while, particularly in a child’s room, so keep Diamond Carpet Service in mind when you need a deep clean.
