9 Great Alphabet Rugs for A Child's Room

Ranked #1,609 in Home & Garden, #20,656 overall

ABCs for underfoot

When I started looking at alphabet rugs to go with an alphabet themed kids bedroom, I was surprised how many of the options looked like something you'd put down on a preschool classroom floor. Nothing wrong with that. If you have a lot of kids, a lot of traffic or a lot of space to cover, that might be a great option for you.

But a little unique style, colors that aren't always bright primaries and soft pile sometimes are what you are after. So here are 9 options for you to consider that work with a variety of color schemes and even with non-alphabet bedroom themes while still bringing letters to the floor.

ABCs Rug from Land of Nod

Great signature piece with multiple colors


Colorful Alphabet Rug



$229 for 4'x6' size at Land of Nod
Also available in 5'x8' size
Handwoven wool blend


This rug has just the right mixture of funky and classy. And the neutral background makes it able to mix with bold or subdued color palettes equally well.

Alphabet Walkaround Rug


Learning Carpets Alpha Walkabout Play Carpet


Free shipping from Amazon
3'x6'8" size



The one might be a play carpet (already breaking my own guidelines) but the bright colors and clever design give it a leg up on most. It's made from nylon, so it won't be that soft, but it is non-toxic, non-allergenic and stain resistant. Good qualities in a kids rug!

Numbers and Alphabet Rug

Wow - that's a very different color scheme!


Fun Rugs Supreme Numbers & Alphabet Rug

$85 at Wayfair


With its extra high pile and hand carved design, this rug offers a quality option. And the color scheme here is awesome. I would pair it with more subtle colors in the room with bright splashes rather than a brightly colored room.

Shadowed Alphabet

Big block letters shadowed on an ivory background

ALPHABET RUG

Shadowed Alphabet Rug


Available at Amazon



Hand-tufted rug with a beautiful hand-carved pattern. Consider using the letter colors in the rest of the room with just little touches of black to bring it all together.

Animals and Alphabet Rug


Fun Rugs Fun Time Letters and Names Rug


$114.99 at Kohl's

3'3'' x 4'10''


Combination of letters and animals help your child begin learning, just like in school.

Animal Alphabet Rug

Hand carving makes the animals and letters stand out

Animal Alphabet Area Rug


Available at Amazon

Brightly colored animals and objects help your child associate letters with words. The carved letters create a two-dimensional look and feel that stands out. Warm background means dirt won't show as much either!

An alphabet rug with a variety of colors gives you lots of options. 

Alphabet Train Rug

Lots of cars for lots of letters


Fun Time Alphabet Train Rug


$45.95 (sale) at Bellacor
Free shipping on orders over $75

Perfect choice for a train-themed bedroom. The variety of car colors can work with just about any color scheme train bedding comes in.

Crayon Alphabet Rug

Unique design and colors made this a winner

Isn't this one beautiful? A great design and fabulous colors that could work into a girl's room just great.
