Best Pirate Theme Rug Selections for Kids

Add some adventure to your kid's room with a pirate theme rug. Pirate rugs come in all shapes and sizes both big and small that will fit the shape of your bedroom or nursery and take a plain floor from one that's boring to a surface that teams with possibilities for story time and adventure.

A pirate rug will add an interesting dimension to wall to wall carpet as well as keep it covered until your children get a little older and the likelihood of purple grape juice stains and orange baby food spills is somewhat diminished.

As we know factory applied stain protection on most carpet is not foolproof. Sometimes an ugly spot is left behind even after the spill is wiped up to the best of our abilities. This is one reason that I think that kids rugs are the best thing to keep baby’s bedroom looking fresh and new. They are so cheap and easy to replace plus they camouflage the inevitable multi-colored accidents that are bound to happen. Do you really want to have to police your child and constantly interrupt their play dates dabbing at dots that might or might not leave a mark?

BEST PIRATE THEME RUG for a KIDS BEDROOM or NURSERY?
Once you have the basic layout for the nursery and a set of pirate baby bedding in mind, it's time to dress the floors and make them seaworthy and ship shape. The best pirate rug for your floor may not have pictures of Blackbeard the Pirate or in the shape of a pirate ship.

Of course if you are designing a bedroom in honor of your favorite football or baseball team that happens to be named "THE PIRATES", then that's an altogether different decorating concept and a rug in the ball team's colors might be the best we can do.

Of course you have to pick an area rug in a color that won’t clash or fight with the fabrics in the comforter or crib set. Even if you find great colors, take care that the patterns, pirate motifs and prints are compatible as well.

Here are some ideas for pirate rugs for your kids’ pirate theme rooms:

• PARROT AREA RUGS - What pirate ship or pirate worth is salt would be caught dead without an exotic parrot?
• ANCHOR RUG - A round rug with an anchor motif in the center or a rug in an anchor shape
• TREASURE CHEST – How lucky would you be to find a pirate theme rug in the shape of a treasure chest full of gold coins, precious jewels and other booty?

Most young parent’s budget is stretched very thin. So if your budget is tight here are some ideas and instructions on how to make your own cheap pirate theme rug or treasure map rug that you can customize to match your pirate theme baby bedding perfectly.
