Creating a healthy home begins at floor level. At Designer Rugs & Carpet by Peykar, we believe that safety and design should never be at odds. That’s why our collection of non-toxic rugs prioritizes materials that are gentle on your family and strong enough to stand up to daily life.
From organic nursery rugs to hypoallergenic options for allergy-sensitive homes, every rug we offer supports a cleaner indoor environment without compromising on style.
Why Choose Non-Toxic Rugs?
Many conventional rugs contain synthetic fibers, adhesives, and chemical treatments that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These gases can linger in the air and contribute to allergies, respiratory issues, and skin irritation. For children and pets, who spend much of their time in direct contact with flooring, the impact can be even greater.
Non-toxic rugs, in contrast, are produced without formaldehyde, synthetic latex, flame retardants, or harsh dyes. They’re made using safer methods and sustainable materials that support both well-being and environmental responsibility.
Benefits of Organic and Hypoallergenic Rugs
Designed for Health, Crafted for Comfort
Whether you’re outfitting a nursery or updating a high-traffic living room, non-toxic rugs offer benefits that go beyond the surface.
1. Wool Area Rugs
Wool is a natural fiber known for its ability to resist dust mites and bacteria. It also acts as a temperature and sound insulator. With no need for chemical treatments, wool rugs provide a soft, durable, and health-conscious flooring solution.
2. Organic Nursery Rugs
Young children need safe, toxin-free spaces to explore. Organic nursery rugs made with GOTS-certified cotton or untreated wool are biodegradable and gentle on sensitive skin. These rugs offer a pure foundation for play, sleep, and early development.
3. Hypoallergenic Rugs for Allergy-Prone Homes
Low-pile, tightly woven rugs are ideal for reducing dust and allergens in the home. Many of our selections are OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring they meet stringent safety standards and help maintain cleaner air indoors.
