9 Boys’ Room Rug Ideas That Add Personality Without Sacrificing Style

July 1, 2021

Decorating a boy’s bedroom doesn’t have to mean playing it safe with über-minimalist decor. No rule book says male-specific spaces are limited to monochrome, neutral-tones sans personality—where’s the fun in that?

One way to breathe personality into your child’s bedroom is with a boy’s rug, be it a large area rug or a small, round design to highlight a specific part of a room. For inspiration, we’ve curated a list of nine boys’ rugs perfect for adding the finishing touch to every space. Check them out, ahead. 

1. For the Disney Fan: Mickey Doodles Black and Ivory Rug

Kids and adults alike will treasure this rug adorned with charming Disney-inspired doodles. The design’s black and ivory coloring ensures that interior-lovers can seamlessly style it in any space, like this room, which is just as inviting for a young boy as it is for a picky teen.

2. For the Space-Obsessed: Outer Space Soft Grey Rug

A space-themed baby boy’s nursery isn’t complete without a celestial-themed rug to match. This 5’x7’ rug is the focal point of the space, tying every element together perfectly. Notice how the planets brilliantly match the hanging solar system mobile—and complement the cosmic wall decals. 

3. For the Dinosaur Lover: Tyrannosaurus Rex Rug

If you’re searching for creative inspiration regarding how to style a statement rug, let this boy’s bedroom do the talking. To not overwhelm the space, the designer incorporated neutral-colored furniture and decor, amping up the volume with a color-coordinating Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur rug and cactus wallpaper to match.

4. For the Minimalist: Absida Rainbow Rug
