From birth announcement card to personalized children's rug: a rug as unique as your child
A personalized children's rug is not chosen, it is created. Based on a birth announcement card, a name, or an entirely custom design — specially for your child, and no one else's.
Why do parents choose personalized?
A standard rug is available to everyone. A personalized children's rug with your child's name, or based on the birth announcement card you chose, exists only once — and that completely changes its meaning.
From birth announcement card to rug
The birth announcement card is digitally processed and translated into a rug design: colors, illustrations, text, and shape are adopted and optimized for production on fabric. This gives the birth announcement card a second life on the floor of the room.
A children's rug with a name
Not every parent wants a full illustration on the rug. For many families, their child's name is enough — clear, timeless, and instantly recognizable. Font, color, and placement are fully customized and coordinated with the rest of the room.
Moreover, a name remains relevant as the child grows older, whereas a baby theme can feel outdated after just a few years.
Having a completely custom design made
No birth announcement card as a starting point? Your own design or illustration can also be submitted and processed into a production-ready rug design — from a minimalist line drawing to a colorful, detailed scene.
Pets are also a popular choice: more and more families are having their pet's name printed on a rug.
How does the design process work?
Nothing goes into production without explicit approval. This way, you know exactly what your rug will look like beforehand.

Local production
Shorter lines between order and delivery, traceable at any time.
Materials and quality
A rug in a child's room is crawled on, sat on, played on — and occasionally spilled on. Material choice is therefore not a detail, but a core component of the product.
OEKO-TEX
Standard 100 certified: tested for harmful substances, safe for children and pets.
Material
Polyamide; for extra sharp details, a customized quality is used.
Washable
Machine washable at 30°C, stays beautiful for years with daily use.
Which size to choose?
The right size depends on where and how the rug will be used.
Next to the crib
As an accent piece, a smaller size is sufficient — the name or design immediately becomes the eye-catcher.
As a play surface
Choose a larger size for enough room to crawl, sit, and play.
With wall accent
Match the size to other elements in the room, so the rug complements rather than competes.
An original birth gift
A personalized children's rug is a gift no one else will give, and it immediately gets a functional place in the baby's room.
- At birth, as a first "welcome" gift for the room
- At a baby shower, as a lasting keepsake
- As a maternity gift from grandparents
- For the first birthday
Inspiration for the nursery
In a room with a lot of white, wood, and soft pastel shades, a rug with a name or birth announcement card design immediately becomes the most striking element in the space, combined with a framed birth announcement card on the wall for a visual line from wall to floor.
