I finally got the laminate florring down in my dining room and family room/daycare room. Now I am looking for ideas to make it more kid friendly.
I currently have an 5 x 8 oval braided area rug in front of the furniture. I also have a 5 x 8 oval braided rug in the back half of the room where the kids have a table, kitchen set and toys. The kids use all the floor space in the room.
A couple ideas I am considering:
Purchase 2 same 5 x 7 area rugs and seam together along 1 end using seam tape, and placing in the back area when the kid stuff is. But not sure how to do this. Carpet tape? This would give a much bigger area that is cushioned.
I am also thinking to do this with 2 same area rugs for the area in front of the furniture.
Another thought...to purchase a full size eggcrate mattress topper and make a slipcover to go over it and place it on the big floor area that is not covered by the current area rug in front of furniture. I just need to come up with something to put underneath so doesn't slide/move. I could just roll up at end of the day.
I am trying to keep my newly decorated room from looking so daycarish. I considered a 4 x 8 tumbling mat but they are way too expensive.
Any ideas on connecting 2 area rugs together along one edge....how to do it?
Any ideas on making a mat out of some type of foam.....how to do it and keep it from sliding?
I purchased a few pillows (bed size) and have them to use as floor pillows.
