Off White Moroccan Tasseled Area Rug
This plush rug has bold patterns that will work perfectly for any nursery space.
It’s made from durable synthetic fibers and comes in many different sizes.
Rug thickness is 1 1/4″ so it’s a nice fluffy rug under baby’s knees.
Here’s a helpful review from their website:
This rug exceeded my expectations! The color is gorgeous (I got the off white + black version), and the shag is long enough that it makes the room look cozy. It is not as thick or soft as a much more expensive rug would be, but for around $150 this seriously could not be beat. We put it in our office room, which I used to hate; now when I walk past, I stop and just stare at this gorgeous freakin rug. The room isn’t done yet, but this has set the stage for the rest of the decor!
Beige Shaggy Lattice Tassel Area Rug
What I love about this particular rug is the raised lattice design.
It’s a machine made, polyester rug that’ll look great with any neutral palette.
Here’s a helpful review from their website:
After looking through hundreds of neutral rugs online, I selected this one and am so happy I did! I love the look of woven/wool but couldn’t justify the price tag and was nervous about unraveling – this rug is the perfect look-alike that brings easy maintenance too. The high pile areas are soft and color is very true to the photos. Quality seems great, shipping was fast, no complaints at all.
Off White Moroccan Diamond Pinstripes Tassel Area Rug
Moroccan rugs are one of the latest trends in nursery design.
I love that the geometric patterns will work with pretty much any nursery color scheme.
This is another rug with high pile height, perfect for baby’s tummy time.
Another helpful review from their website:
First off the ability to upload a photo to the website to see what the rugs look like in my room is AMAZING! This rug looked exactly as I expected it would becaise of that option – thank you! This rug is SO soft, just shaggy enough, and a creamy off-white color that still looks great with my white walls and decor. The stripes are more of a dark gray than black but I think it works to add some dimention to my mostly black and white decor. The rug seems durable and very tightly weaved. The tassels on the edges are thick and don’t move too much, although they do flip under the rug sometimes. Love this rug!!! So happy with my purchase.
Ivory Diamond Textured Trellis Tassel Area Rug
If you love wool rugs, this one is a great option because it doesn’t shed a lot.
It’s neutral color will match with neutral AND vibrant colors, making it a perfect nursery rug.
At only 1/4″ pile height, you can expect a flatwoven style rug.
Here’s a helpful review from their website:
This rug is seriously my favorite thing that I’ve owned. Reviews wrote that it shed, but I haven’t experienced shedding whatsoever. It lays flat, didn’t have a weird smell at all, and I get compliments on it all the time from my friends. My boyfriend and I have very differing tastes in decor, and this was one we both agreed on as being awesome. It’s perfect for boho, mid-century modern and also would look great in a kids room! (My friend actually has it in her daughter‘s room.) I think it is a little on the expensive side, but when it’s on sale it is definitely worth it.
Off White Moroccan Lattice Tassel Area Rug
Another great choice for baby’s nursery, this simple rug pattern is great for any modern nursery.
Because it’s made of polypropylene, it’s designed to withstand the rigors of heavy foot traffic and it’s easy to clean.
Another helpful review from their website:
We purchased this rug for our basement and loved it so much we wanted one for our family room too. It’s soft under foot with a longer pile. It’s neutral so it effortlessly goes with most decor and adds the perfect amount of texture and warmth to any space. It’s durable and held up well with our three little ones, including our toddler. She loves crawling, laying, and rolling around on it. Highly recommend!
Gray Moroccan Trellis Area Rug
Another great nursery rug option for gender-neutral nurseries!
It has 1/2″ thickness and comes in a variety of shades of colors.
Many of the reviews on this rug say it came folded and not rolled, which has caused some issues with getting it to flatten out.
This one is a lot cheaper than some of the other rugs above, so if you’re willing to spend time flattening it out with heavy objects it could still work out great!
Beige Shaggy Moroccan Lattice Fringe Area Rug
This 100% wool rug has a flatwoven base with a series of shaggy diamonds finished with tassels at both ends. The rug pattern and design is so fun!
Since this post is highlighting neutral nursery rugs, the one shown above is the beige color. However, it’s also made in dark gray, light gray, pale pink and pale blue! So there’s a color option for any gender or nursery theme.
Ivory Shaggy Diamond Trellis Area Rug
This isn’t quite a white rug, it’s a creamy ivory color!
The diamond shag pattern makes it one of the best nursery rugs for comfy, cozy room vibes.
We actually own this rug and use it in our playroom. Disclosure: the rug in between the diamonds is VERY thin, so if it’s not being layered over carpet you’ll definitely want a rug pad underneath for thickness.
Occasionally some of the threads pull out, but not enough for me to be concerned. Dirt seems to collect in the shag lines but it’s easily vacuumed out.
Wayfair Neutral Nursery Rug Options
Everyone knows to shop at Wayfair, but sometimes it can be really overwhelming looking for nursery rugs there because they have thousands of choices.
The “My Texas House” rug collection by Orian has so many 5-star reviews!
People love these rugs, and even though they are light in color, they are stain-resistant and easy to clean.
You can use a rug like this as your nursery, toddler, kids, tween bedroom rug all the way up to your own master bedroom.
These neutral nursery rugs are priced very reasonably and Wayfair always has free shipping.

My Texas House Lady Bird Natural Driftwood Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug
The reviews on this neutral rug speak for themselves!
Erin from My Texas House says when the white starts to discolor she simply power washes this rug outside, which I find fascinating.
Here’s a review snippet on its durability…
I cannot get enough of this rug. It is kitchen proof and child proof! Lol I have it in a high traffic area, my kitchen and it still looks like new. The grey and ivory is a perfect match! I love it!
My Texas House Saltillo White/Gray Area Rug
We tried this rug in our entryway, and due to it’s plush, soft thickness it did not hold up well to foot traffic with shoes. However, because it’s so thick and comfy, it would work great in a baby’s nursery where baby is crawling around!
It never shed and it felt very high-quality under foot. You definitely wouldn’t need a rug pad underneath.
A useful review on the color and style of the rug…
I love this rug! It’s very plush and soft, feels great underfoot. It goes very well in my space. One thing of note though is the description says its white and gray, I would really say the “gray” is more of a tan/brown color, but I still like it.
My Texas House Agave Natural Area Rug
The name of this neutral rug has “agave” in it which is a sweet succulent plant. It’s pattern is perfectly fitting for a Bohemian or Southwestern themed baby nursery.
Rug pile height is 1/2″ and it’s machine made.
Another review on the style and quality of this rug…
Beautiful, quality, thick, not shiny. I purchased 9×12 and 8×10 for large great room. They came rolled not folded (score points for Wayfair) and layed flat immediately put premium rug pads under them. I would have purchased runners too but they only came 24” wide (too narrow). Delivered 2 days ahead of schedule. Very pleased!
Ruggable Neutral Nursery Rug Options
Ruggable is another great place to shop if you are looking for a washable nursery rug.
This little sheep rug is totally adorable!
They don’t have a ton of selection that I find perfect for a neutral nursery rug, that’s why there is only one included.
However, I have one of their rugs in my dining room and it’s really nice that I’m able to wash it whenever the kiddos make a mess.
Their pricing is mid-range; however, since they are washable, these rugs will probably last a lot longer than others.

Ruggable Sleepy Sheep Soft White Nursery Rug
Ruggable has quickly become one of the top manufacturers of washable rugs!
Ruggable’s patented rug system comes in two pieces: a low-pile, lightweight rug cover and a nonslip rug pad.
The “rug cover” is stain-resistant, water-resistant, and designed to fit conveniently in your home washing machine—even the 9×12 size.
A helpful review on their website says:
Adorable! Feels great with the cushioned rug pad and I love that it can be thrown in the wash for a super clean rug.
