Safari Sunburst Round Rug - Nursery Circle Area Rug

Six baby safari animals gather around a warm yellow sun: a lion with a russet mane, a giraffe, an elephant, a monkey, a hippo and a zebra. This nursery round rug is laid out for the circle, so every animal sits at its own spot on the ring and faces the middle. A sage green border of leaves and tiny paw prints frames the whole scene.

A circle changes how a small room feels. It softens the corners, gives a crib or rocking chair a natural spot to anchor, and leaves a clear patch of floor where a toddler can sit and line up toy animals. Nothing about it points at a wall.

The Design: Sunrise Safari Ring

The artwork reads like a storybook page painted on warm sand-colored paper. Every animal has the same round eyes, small smile and blush of peach on the cheeks, which keeps the group friendly instead of busy. The palette stays muted: honey gold, sage and olive greens, soft elephant gray, hippo mauve and a cinnamon brown for the monkey and the lion's mane. No harsh primaries anywhere. Between the animals, acacia trees, grass tufts and big tropical leaves fill the savanna without crowding anyone.

What sets this one apart is the sun. It sits dead center with thin rays reaching toward each character, so the eye settles in the middle first and then travels around the ring. The paw-print border is the second small detail. Laid as a circle rug, it repeats every few inches and gives the edge a neat, finished look.

Safari Sunburst on the Floor

The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels gentle under bare feet and knees, which matters when the floor is where a baby crawls and plays. A non-slip rubber backing grips hardwood, tile and laminate, so the rug stays put when little ones push off it. When something spills, you can simply wash it, because the rug is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle and then air-dried. The print is dye-sublimation, which sets the colors into the fibers instead of leaving them on top, and the cut is a clean circle. It suits a nursery, a toddler bedroom or a playroom corner.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) up to 180 cm (70.9″): 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm. The 80 and 100 cm sizes fit beside a crib or under a glider, and they also work as an accent rug next to a changing table. Pick 120 or 140 cm for a reading nook or a toddler's play corner, where the animals stay visible around a sitting child. At 160 to 180 cm the rug becomes the center of a playroom, with space for blocks, books and a few grown-ups.

• Standart Level is the solid everyday quality for nurseries and play corners that see regular use.
• Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing for busy floors and the biggest sizes.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and air-dry it; the colors are set into the fibers, so the sage border and golden sun stay true wash after wash.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, which is exactly what you want when a toddler pushes off the lion at full speed.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes. It lies flat over low-pile carpet, so it can mark out a safari play zone even in a fully carpeted room.

Which size should I choose?

Go with 80 to 100 cm for a crib side or rocking chair, and 120 to 140 cm when a child sits in the middle under the sun. From 160 cm up it works as a round area rug for a whole playroom.
