Kids Spoke City Gray 5' x 7'6 Rug

Yes, we highly recommend pairing this rug with a high-quality non-slip rug pad. While the rug features a sturdy cotton backing that helps it retain its shape, it does not have a built-in grip. A rug pad is an essential safety feature for a child's space, providing the necessary traction to prevent the rug from sliding during active play. It also adds an extra layer of impact-absorbing cushion and protects your underlying hard flooring from wear.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-hooked fibers, our care experts recommend vacuuming the rug using only floor attachments; avoid using a beater bar, which can snag or pull the hooked loops. For common spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the stain from setting. For more stubborn spots, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water. Consistent maintenance with these gentle methods will keep the playful design looking vibrant for years.

The hand-hooked construction creates a dense, looped texture that offers significantly more cushioning than a traditional flat-weave rug. This makes it a supportive and comfortable surface for infants during tummy time or for toddlers learning to crawl. The hand-hooking method also results in a durable pile that can withstand the weight of heavy toy chests or frequent foot traffic without losing its supportive feel.

This 5' x 7'6" rectangle rug is a versatile mid-size option that fits beautifully in most standard room layouts. In a bedroom, it is perfectly scaled to sit under the lower two-thirds of a twin or full-sized bed, providing a soft and warm landing area for little feet in the morning. For playrooms, this dimensions provide enough coverage to anchor a central play zone while still following the "18-inch rule"—leaving a balanced border of bare floor around the edges of the room to make the space feel larger and more organized.

This rug is crafted from 100% polyester, an exceptionally durable and resilient material ideal for the high-energy environment of a child's bedroom or playroom. Synthetic fibers like polyester are naturally stain-resistant and moisture-wicking, making them much easier to maintain when faced with common spills like juice or markers. Additionally, polyester is inherently hypoallergenic, providing a safer environment for children with sensitivities by resisting the buildup of dust and common allergens.

The "Spoke City" design utilizes a sophisticated color palette of gray, black, and yellow, which allows it to function as a versatile bridge between a whimsical nursery and a more contemporary "big kid" room. Unlike overly juvenile prints, this modern novelty pattern provides a sense of "pizzazz" and energy that ages well. It pairs effortlessly with neutral furniture sets and can be easily updated with different accent pillows or wall art as your child’s interests evolve.
