Designing an infant nursery or a toddler’s room is a labor of love; a reflection of the special little person that lives there. Area rugs cozy up any space, but most especially in a child’s room, and are de rigueur for a hardwood floor, but how about one layered over wall to wall carpeting or sisal matting? Well-priced options abound from the wild to the whimsical, the fun to the fantastical, the silly to the sophisticated. And you just might be surprised where these can be found!
