Rug for the nursery:

Where did you get your nursery rug?

This is the bedding set we registered for and just received...



We are not doing a white crib, we are doing a cherry crib:



And the walls are Benjamin Moore - Nantucket Fog (the pic below is NOT our home, just a pic of the color I found on Yahoo):



The floors are wood, stained like a Brazilian Cherry, if that matters. All of the moulding is white, ceiling white. The fixtures on the closet door and regular door (like knobs and hinges) are rubbed bronze, if that matters.

The rug that is featured in the first pic, from Pottery Barn, is very nice - I think the color would work but it's like 6 or 7 HUNDRED dollars

So, my question, do you know where I could find a good rug that is similar but a lot cheaper? And what color would you go with considering the colors I have in the room -- the green like shown in PB or blue to match the walls??

I'm lost here! Thanks

We got our rug from rugs-direct.com. We got an oval braided light blue rug. I think a beige or very light green would go.

Re: Rug for the nursery:

We are having a and did Nantucket Fog with Cherry furniture. I wouldn't try to match the bedding set because you won't be using it for a long time. I would try to choose a neutral rug that will go with any bedding you might choose in the future when you convert the crib to a bed. With my DD we converted her crib to a full size at 24 months because she started to climb out of the crib. I didn't bother with a bedding set for the and just picked up 3 crib sheets with white/navy/gray/taupe color schemes. I got Navy blackout curtains with brushed nickel hardware and a brushed nickel lamp with a navy shade. I'm going to wait to get the rug until after I convert the bed and we pick his "big boy" bedding.

We ordered our rug from

Shades of light

It's back ordered but for the price and style we don't care lol. It's not like we have our furniture yet or anything.

Re: Rug for the nursery:

Before reading your post all the way I was going to suggest Pottery Barn but you can also check overstock or homegoods. Homegoods is hit or miss but def worth a look.

As for the color, I would choose something that picked up some of the green in the bedding just to tie everything in. It's a very pretty green that you can work into the room in various ways when your DS gets older.

Re: Rug for the nursery:

The more people say try neutral or khaki the more I like the idea -- I looked around and did check out a few sites suggested here. I really think the "trellis" design is beautiful and classic -- I didn't want anything youthful, I wanted something more mature. It reminds me of the PB rugs - the trellis look.

Then I went over to overstock.com and found one that really looks great...

It is $169.99 for 5x8 which I think is a bargain!



The floors shown are very similar to ours.

Here's another...



I think I like this one the best!

Wow, group effort, thanks everyone! I was having a heck of a time with this. Weird, the furniture was easier to find and decide on than the rug

I got my rug at Home Goods for my daughter's nursery

Re: Rug for the nursery:

That's an awesome rug! It will go so well with both the blue and green and any other color you add to the room in the future. Good find!
