This Vintage-Print Rug Brought My Kids’ Playroom to Life (and It’s Machine-Washable!)

My small apartment has essentially become a dedicated play space for my small kids. Their various accessories (toys, books, and Stapelsteins) have a tendency to completely take over. I’ve attempted to create a designated play area within my living room, but they inevitably spread out and claim the whole space. However, that all changed when I introduced a beautiful new Ruggable rug from the brand’s latest Primary Play Collection.

The energetic colors and designs of this rug have transformed a section of my living room into a lively play space for my children. Its cushioned, soft texture makes it their new favorite spot to play. (Bonus: It’s machine-washable!) The entire collection is adorable, and while it’s designed with kids’ spaces in mind its fun pop of color is great for adding cheer anywhere in your home.

The Ruggable Primary Play Collection offers 24 vibrant, imaginative rug designs that feature bright patterns and colorful styles, and range in price from $169 to $669. The rugs are available in a variety of sizes (depending on the style), and utilize Ruggable’s popular tufted style for a soft, comfortable feel. These rugs also include a built-in nonslip backing, are pet-friendly, and can be conveniently washed in a home machine (for rug sizes up to 8 feet x 10 feet). Plus, the 100% polyester top with a waterproof barrier makes spot cleaning simple and convenient (a bonus with any kids’ rug).

Choosing a single rug from the Ruggable Primary Play Collection was tough, but the Ditzy Daisy Navy Rug immediately captured my attention. I was drawn to its vintage-inspired 1960s floral pattern, and the calming blue hue that’s bright without being overly intense. While it has a playful quality, I also think it would look great in my bedroom or non-kid-related space. I selected the 6-foot-by-9-foot size, which perfectly anchors my living room (although four sizes are available).

The navy rug arrived folded in a box, but I was happy to see it smoothed out quickly — in about 10 minutes! It’s also much softer and has more cushion than I expected. Not only does this extra cushion help make my often-chilly living room feel warmer, but my downstairs neighbors also appreciate the added sound dampening, which is great considering my kids can be a bit noisy.

I’m so into the Primary Play Collection that I have been sharing the links with all my parent friends who are looking to upgrade their kids’ play spaces. With tons of fun designs, shapes, and styles to choose from — and prices starting at just $169 — it’s a game-changer. Plus, they’re machine-washable (thank goodness). Check out the collection now!
