Finding The Perfect Nursery Rug…And It’s Machine Washable!
Decorating a child’s room is so much fun! When we found out we were having a girl I knew right away the type of theme I wanted. This is unlike me because I am usually very indecisive. I wanted a space that felt light and cheerful with lots of floral and pastel watercolors. We just added another big piece to the room that truly brings it all together. We picked out a rug from Lorena Canal and can I just say it’s my favorite rug in the house!

For Lillian’s room we chose a rug by the name of Hippy Mint. This rug feels like it was made for our nursery! The cool mint color matches perfectly with our grey walls and floral theme throughout the room. The zig zag design is fun, playful, and adds a touch of whimsical. It also covers a large portion of the room making it great for activities on the ground. The texture of the thread is very soft so I feel safe having Lillian play on it without worrying about her skin getting irritated. There are so many features about this rug that make it superior over a typical rug you find at a retail store.
Easy Care
These rugs are machine washable! That’s huge for a kids room. With the case of messes it’s not if it happens…it’s when. I love that if this rug gets dirty I can simply add it to the wash downstairs and in a few hours it is looking good as new. The rug goes in the cold, soft cycle in the washing machine and then tumble dry low. No need to go to the laundry mat or dry cleaners.
Eco-Friendly
All of Lorena Canal items are made of either wool or cotton. The cotton is gathered by the artisan in India were they select the highest quality cotton from the plantations. The dyes they use are eco-friendly as well and are non toxic. These dyes are created with natural powders and hot water. The process they use to create these pieces are ones used for centuries. By keeping to these traditional methods the company is holding to its high standards and looking out for mother nature! I really appreciate companies that an aware of their impact.
Handmade
Each rug is handmade by artisans in India. Every part of the process is hand crafted. The thread is dyed and spun by hand. Then the rugs are woven by artisans. There is such attention to detail in this process. It’s neat to think about the care that was taking into creating the rug that we have in our room today. Check out the video below to see the process of how these rugs are made! It’s amazing!
I’m so glad to have come across Lorena Canals and their wonderful collection of home goods. Our rug is a piece I know will get good use for years to come. I may even have to get a matching wall decoration. I enjoy supporting companies that are eco-friendly and making a difference in the world.
