      Choosing the right classroom rug is about more than picking a design you love. A little planning now helps ensure your rug fits your space, your schedule, and your classroom routine.

      Here are a few helpful things to consider before ordering.

      📏 Have you measured your space?

      Classroom rugs come in many sizes, and measuring ahead of time helps avoid surprises. Be sure to allow space for walkways, furniture, and doors to open comfortably.

      🚚 Have you checked the shipping timeline?

      Some of our rugs are in stock and ready to ship, often leaving the warehouse in one or two business days. Others are made to order, created specifically for your classroom, and may take a month or more to deliver.

      Many schools plan ahead and choose made-to-order rugs to get exactly what they want. If timing is important, our Quick Ship options are a great solution.

      🧹 Are you comfortable with routine cleaning?

      Classroom rugs are designed for daily use, but like any rug in a learning space, they benefit from regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning to keep them looking their best.

      🧼 Do you have access to a simple cleaning solution?

      Accidents happen. Having access to an easy-to-use carpet cleaner or spot-cleaning method can help extend the life of your rug and keep your classroom fresh.

      💛 Why this matters

      As classroom rug specialists, our goal is to help you choose a rug that works beautifully in real learning spaces, not just in photos. A well-chosen rug supports routines, learning, and comfort all year long.

      If you ever have questions about sizing, shipping, or choosing the right rug for your space, we’re always happy to help.
