Overall assessment
Lorena Canals Washable Cotton Rug
A strong nursery pick with real design personality, best suited to rooms where a decorative rug is the point.
Why we picked it
It is the reference point for nursery-specific washable cotton, especially for shaped and playful designs.
What we don't like
Cost per square foot is high, and the designs age out as kids grow.
