It’s soft, made with eco-friendly, stain-resistant material, and perfect for homes with lots of foot traffic. Each design is digitally cut, and features intricate patterns that will make your room look instantly more sophisticated. The bottom is non-slip, so wherever it’s placed it won’t budge.

Promising review: “I love this carpet. Once unrolled, my kids would not get off of it because it was so soft. Finally, I was able to put it in the breakfast room, and it looks perfect. My husband said the colors are more vibrant than the photos. It is gorgeous! My daughter spilled a ravioli on it, and it cleaned up perfectly with just soap and water. It is only the first day but I have a good feeling about this rug. Pups love it too!”

There are dozens of amazing options at Ruggable, but this is a particular favorite. Described as a farmhouse take on a classic Persian rug, its mix of geometric patterns and ornate border bring flare to the room without overpowering it. We see the jewel blue machine washable rug in a space with dark wood floors or a rich brown faux-leather couch. It would also add warmth to an area with cooler tones (as shown in the above photo). Besides being available in sapphire, it comes in teal, amber red, and dark wood. Sizes start at 2 feet by 3 feet and go up to 9 feet by 12 feet. It also can be purchased as a runner or in a round cut.

Promising review: “I [bought] this rug for our master bathroom. It’s perfect! I love the colors and the subtle faded areas that make it look almost vintage. The fact that it can be washed is a plus. I no longer need to worry if I drop makeup on a Persian rug.”

We love the diamond pattern interwoven throughout this Moroccan-style nuLOOM rug. It’s trendy but not so much that you’ll feel the need to replace it within a year, and it’s available in a ton of different colors, ranging from jewel-toned to black and white. Thousands of Amazon customers insist this is one of the best machine washable rugs, and we couldn’t agree more. It’s soft, making it great for a bedroom or common area, and the polypropylene fiber is durable, so it won’t break down in high traffic areas. It doesn’t come with a grip pad, which isn’t a huge deal if you’re placing it beneath furniture. However, if you’re seeing this in the center of your bedroom or study, grab a nuLoom grip pad to slide beneath.

Promising review: “I’ve had this rug for a little more than a year, and have loved it! We’ve spilled all sorts of stuff on it, [including muddy footprints], but it’s super easy to wipe up and doesn’t stain. It’s in our living room and gets traffic everyday. Excellent quality!”

This sweet washable mat looks like it’s made of jute but it’s actually woven polypropylene. It’s an optimal choice if you favor natural textures, and perfect for the kitchen area. The MontVoo Kitchen Rug is water-resistant and impervious to sauces, jams, and mud. It’s exactly what you want in front of the stove, sink or fridge. Its rubber bottom prevents movement when Fido runs over it, and it’s easily shaken out or vacuumed. Available in five earthy colors, the rug would also look amazing in a bathroom or the inside of your front door.

Promising review: “Paying around $35 for two quality machine washable rugs is a nice find and excellent value...The woven style is soft and comfy to stand on, especially with the good backing underneath that adds cushion.”

Minimize dirt being brought into the home with this stylish runner rug. Even though its quatrefoil motif has been used throughout ancient architecture for centuries, it gives a room a modern look and feel. And since your home is your castle, we can’t think of a better item to adorn the entryway. The runner is stain-resistant, making it ideal for places where pets and kids abound, and it doesn’t shed or come undone in the wash. According to the manufacturer, its size can vary up to 4 inches of what’s advertised, but more than 1,000 happy Wayfair customers don’t seem to mind in the least.

Promising review: “This was the third runner I ordered (from various sites) and I like it well enough to keep it. It’s soft, easy to vacuum…The pattern is very pretty. I’ve received lots of compliments on it after only a week.”

This coastal style area rug from Beachcrest Home will instantly brighten your sitting area. Its slightly faded denim stripes make it seem like it’s been in the family for generations, giving a more personal and cozy feel. It’s power-loom woven in Turkey, durable, and resistant to stains and color loss. It’s also low pile, so it’s great for high traffic areas, and easy to vacuum and move around. It doesn’t have a rubber grip, so we recommend grabbing a non-slip pad for beneath. Although we like this for larger rooms, it also would look lovely as a runner or in a round cut for a smaller space. It also can be placed outside on your deck or patio!

Promising review: “This rug is perfect! It looks so nice with our couch. It adds a pop of color to the space. Highly recommend!”

Even if you haven’t traveled the world (yet), the Sima Sage Rug will make you feel like you’re a total globe-trotter. Its floral motif is classic enough that you won’t have to think of replacing for years, and the multicolored pattern gives lots of options when picking out accent pieces. You have the choice of pairing with a cushioned or classic rug pad, and it’s available in a variety of sizes, and shapes. If the sage color (shown above) is not your cup of tea, consider it in the royal blue, abalone, or current.

Promising review: “I bought the 8 feet by 10 feet to go under a grand piano in the piano room. I liked it so much that I ordered [two more] for the foyer and hallway. They are elegant and look terrific in my new home.”

We love how plush this washable bathroom from Genteele is. It’s exactly what you want to step on after a hot shower or bath. It’s made of memory foam, and has a velvet cover, giving it a cushy feeling beneath your feet. More importantly, it dries fast. We love this, because there’s nothing ickier than stepping on a soggy rug. On non-laundry days, the mat can be shaken out or vacuumed, and it won’t come apart it the wash. It’s available in 21 different colors. No matter your bathroom decor you’ll find one that matches. PVC dots on the bottom keep it from slipping, so no need to buy a non-grip pad for beneath.

Promising review: “I absolutely love this rug. Have it right at my tub when I step out. It’s soft yet highly absorbent.”

A rug in your entryway is a defense against dirt and grime tracking into your home. This traditional one from Olanly is budget-friendly, comes in five classic colors, and features an anti-skid back. It’s not adhesive to wet surfaces, so skip it for the outside. However, if you need something for the foyer, garage door, or the exit to the front porch, this will do wonderfully.

Promising review: “I needed a rug for my laundry room. There are two doors close to each other, and rugs tend to slide around or “roll up” on the corners. This rug has remained in place with no sliding. Nice color. Also, the Roomba vacuum can go over it with no issues.”

It’s still summer, and if you’re looking for a washable rug for your deck, this is it. The Gertmenian Outdoor Rug is perfect for the patio or pool area. It’s large with strong yarn holds to withstand beatings from rain, and feet running over it. It’s also resistant to stains and UV rays, which means it won’t fade. Our favorite feature, however, is that it doesn’t need the washing machine. Simply hose it down to remove excessive dirt, mud or sand, and allow it to dry. The outdoor carpet will be as good as new! It’s available in several natural colors, and sizes. No matter the size you’re looking to cover, you’ll find one for your needs.

Promising review: “It hoses down great — even coffee stain, and red dye from hummingbird feeder drops. It also dries really fast, but feels good and cool on your feet for the hour it is wet during these hot days and heat wave.”

This fun throw rug feels amazing beneath bare toes. It’s made of hypoallergenic velvet and polyester, and is extra thick like the shag carpets of the 60s. The back has gripping, the pile is high — what more could you ask for? It comes in several colors and sizes, and would look great beneath a coffee table, in front of a favorite chair, or in a kid’s playroom. Toss in the wash for a good cleaning on the gentle cycle. It will look brand new.

Promising review: “I bought the rug for my bedroom and love it. I bought another one for inside my tent for a recent camping trip — best idea ever! I had my tent on top of wood chips and couldn’t feel them through the rug! It was super easy to clean in the washer, and it still held its softness after [being] dried.”

This gorgeous Mistana Chelvey Oreintal Rug would look fantastic in a breakfast nook or study. Its bold blue floral print is so eye catching that even if the rest of your home decor is minimal, visitors will still get a taste of your personality. The medium pile rug is thick enough not to be demolished by a pass with your vacuum, and the back has a latex grip to prevent slippage. If your home has been feeling drab, this throw will give the pick-me-up it needs.

Promising review: “This rug is even more gorgeous in person than in the photos! The colors are vibrant, and the rug is very soft. Being able to wash it in the washer when you have toddlers is a plus.”

We’re loving the cheery yellow color of this rug. It’s the perfect statement piece for your home. It’s low pile, so your robot vacuum won’t have issue cleaning it, and for major grime it can be tossed into the wash. Made of polypropylene, the carpet won’t fall apart in the busiest areas of the home, but would look gorgeous in a bedroom, playroom, study or dining room. If the yellow clashes with your current color scheme, pick from one of the other 12. Besides being available in 8 feet by 10 feet, there are several other size options to pick from.

Promising review: “We were looking to brighten and freshen up a house that we were turning into a summer rental. We couldn’t be happier with the way the rug looks, and how it ties together the existing furniture and the new “beachy” decor. Perfect purchase!”

We know that this may not be for everyone. However, if you love things with a 60s or 70s vibe, you need this washable rug. It’s impossible not to smile once you see the Absida Rainbow Rug. Come on, look at it. Doesn’t it make you feel happier? If you’re not into rainbows — but honestly, who doesn’t like a rainbow? — the rug also comes in sage, greyscale, and teal. Each would look terrific by your vintage record player and mid-century modern faux leather sofa.

When you want something more thrilling than a monotone carpet but are not into wild prints, you need something that’s in-between. We suggest this Buffalo Plaid Rug. It’s bold but not too bold, and there’s something strangely comforting about the checkered print. It’s eye catching without being overpowering, and we can totally see it beneath a double recliner loveseat or not far from your fireplace. Whether you prefer it in green, red or blue, you’ll love how cozy your living room feels with it.

Promising review: “We love the look of this rug, and it’s standing up to messes from kids and pets.”
