Help choosing nursery rug (floors, colors, vs, room)

[Yardley]

Hi all, having a hard time choosing between these two rugs. The room is a little bare right now, we're still decorating. Our dilemma is round vs square, white vs grey. This rug is available in all choices so the square one can also be grey or the round one can be white. Any thoughts?

Congrats! I think I would do a larger sized rectangle. Your floors are lovely and I can see why you may hesitate to cover more of them but the rugs look too small for the room.

Oh and the colors look more vibrant in the gray rug! I love the way the hot pink pops off of it.

The round one fits the room better. A rectangle rug would need to be larger than that to look right. A larger sheepskin could look cool too..my babies found those to be heavenly. Heck, my older kids love to lay on ours.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! We had an 8x10 before and kinda wanted to switch it up because it feels more spacious with a smaller rug but I can understand the suggestions for a larger rectangular rug. Here's a pic of the old rug.

Personally I would have a rug that is big enough to go under all of the furniture, less risk of tripping on the edge of the rug and falling.

You have to check also that sheepskin rugs are child safe .

I like the gray round version better but I'd get it in a larger size.

IMO, the round rug is too small and the rectangle looks best to me. Nice rug!

Nice nursery!

No question here. I prefer the gray round rug. Just go up one size and it will be perfect.

Because the gray rug contrasts less with the floor, it looks better floating in the middle of the room.
