Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE Armadillo and Co rugs for kids rooms (and Jen has one at home). But it’s safe to say they’ve been the rugs of the moment for, well, significantly longer than a moment. Years! So if you’re looking for an alternative, check out our top 10 below.

With a bold triangle pattern in a contrasting palette of pinks, blues, charcoals and eggplant, the Harlequin Rug will add a playful pop of colour to your kid’s room. Available from Arro Home, it is 100% cotton, measures 120x180cm and retails for $350.Hand-woven on a loom by Indian artisans, the abstract Zeta Kilim Rug ($299) from Olli Ella is fair trade and made from New Zealand wool.
