1. A versatile and ridiculously soft Gorilla Grip washable bathroom rug that I personally own two of, and let me tell you, your feet will be SO happy. It also dries super quickly and comes out nice and fluffy after being washed!
I've had so many bathroom rugs that have claimed to be machine washable then ended up being anything but that...until I bought one of these Gorilla Grip rugs. I initially bought just one to have outside my shower but ended up buying a second smaller one to keep in front of the sink. It's like stepping onto a tiny cloud every day and makes my bathroom feel so much more ~luxurious~. Plus, and I cannot emphasize this enough, it dries incredibly quickly. Like, it almost doesn't even make sense but I'm not going to question it. 10/10, totally recommend.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 44 colors).
2. A washable boho rug made from recycled fibers capable of effortlessly tying together any room you put it in. This also looks like something an "adulty" adult would buy, you know? It's just a good investment!
BTW, if you're looking for some inexpensive furniture to deck out your home with, we've got you covered with a ton of options!
Promising review: "I liked the pattern options, the price, the simplicity, and the fact it could be put in a washing machine. It’s held up great to all the traffic it gets on a daily basis. It lays flat, and even after washing it, which wasn’t a problem (in a large capacity washer and dryer), the edges lay flat. Because of the size, I had concerns about putting it in the washer, but it’s fairly lightweight and flexible, so it fit with room to spare. It came through both the washer and dryer just fine. It’s very flat (no pile), but still soft. After about six months and washing, it looks the same as when it first arrived. The price was very reasonable." —My Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $62.99+ (available in six sizes and seven colors).
3. A two-piece black and white rug set you won't have to worry about clashing with the other colors in your home 'cause these will go with *everything*.

4. A shag area rug so soft and cozy you'll wonder why it took you so long to get one that's THIS easy to clean in the first place.
Promising review: "We’ve loved this rug since day one but I’ve been holding off on giving a review until I had a chance to wash it for the first time and see how it did. Well, it did not disappoint. I love how soft this rug is and how easy it is to wash. It has a rough life with our toddler, dog, and cat, but it seems to be holding up great. We’ll definitely be getting another one!" —Lawruh
Get it from Rugs USA for $59+ (originally $131.20+; available in four sizes, three colors, and in rectangular or runner styles).
5. A super fluffy shag rug you'll be tempted to lay down and take a nap on (even if it's right next to the bed) – and if you don't, your pet will, and then you're never getting that spot back.
You know what would go *really* well with one of these super fluffy rugs? A cozy beanbag chair.
Promising review: "Love, love it! It’s so super soft and has a bit of padding so it’s comfy to step on and even lay on. I got it mainly for my 5-year-old to play on and he loves it. Plus, I washed it when I got it in the washing machine (on cold delicate) and dried it in the dryer and it’s just wonderful to be able to do that. I’m very pleased with this purchase. Totally get one. 👍👍" —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $12.70+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
6. An understated Star Wars rug featuring some of your favorite characters so you can subtly geek out while still matching the rest of your home's chic decor. Needless to say, The Force is strong with this one.

Promising review: "LOVE IT! We ordered this because we wanted a subtle representation of us, and it’s amazing! Super cute and fits in our decor no problem. Easy to wash and keep clean and our senior dog is safer now she has a rug to help her stop slipping on the tile floors." —Tiffany S.

Get it from Maisonette for $239.
8. A fun floral washable area rug so you can get to and from the coffee machine in the kitchen in the morning without needing to take on that awkward "it's too cold to fully stand on my feet" stance.
Promising review: "I intentionally waited to review these rugs until we’d had them for a while. I purchased two and they are in my kitchen where they get heavy use. These are thin but not flimsy, simply low pile, which makes them nice in a kitchen. The rubber backing is great, these rugs do not move. Since they are this low pile, they don’t present any trip hazard at all. I have washed them four times, in a regular washing machine, not industrial, on gentle cycle and dried them on low heat. They look like new. I pitted cherries and had cherry juice on one of them so I did pretreat that spot with a little laundry soap before washing and the stain disappeared. I was suspicious of a rug that was so inexpensive but I would absolutely buy these again. If a low-pile non-slip rug fits what you are looking for, don’t let the low price make you think these are poor quality. I think they are an excellent value." —Weterman
Get it from Amazon for $11.96+ (available in six sizes, four colors, and as a 2-piece set).
9. A lush Gorilla Grip fluffy shag rug to *instantly* increase the coziness level of any room it lives in. Seriously, try it.
Promising review: "I am a photographer and bought this to use with my clients. It is super important for me that this is washable because I often wash my soft props between clients. I have washed this rug many times now and it is just as soft and fluffy as when I first opened it! And my clients LOVE it! So many of them say they want to take it home with them. :)" —Kris Kelley
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in eight sizes and 20 colors, including sheepskin options).
10. A charming washable area rug boasting a distressed black and white pattern that says "vintage" without actually being vintage. And for the price? Can't beat it.
Promising review: "This is a very nice (accurate to picture on Amazon) neutral non-slip runner. I needed one for the base of my queen bed, because my dog doesn't jump up on the bed if I don't have a rug there. Non-slip is the way to go if you want inexpensive and washable! There was absolutely no odor at all. It arrived rolled up in heavy plastic and no kinks, or folds at all. Just roll out and enjoy. Some reviews mentioned that these rugs are very thin, but that is to be expected. This one is actually thicker (because of the nap) than many non-slip runners that I have. But the joy of a nonslip and WASHABLE rug should outweigh any negatives about thickness, I believe. It is easy to find a ton of thick rugs on the market, but attractive nonslip rugs with an antique look like this one is difficult, and believe me, for the price, this one is a real keeper!" —celticprncss

Need some reading recs? Here are some great books people say they wish they could read them again for the first time.
This adorable rug is made in India and is the product of a collaboration with Lauren Canals and designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. It even comes with a cotton fuchsia-colored bag to match! Plus, washing it is a breeze. Just toss it into the washer separately on delicate mode, use a mild detergent without softeners, then be sure to take the rug out of the washer when as soon as it's done to avoid runs or stains, and tumble dry on low.
12. A washable area rug touting a luster-like sheen that reviewers say looks even more beautiful in person. Not to mention, over 24,000 reviewers (!!!) rated this a full 5 stars.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed!!! This rug is absolutely beautiful. I’m so impressed with the quality and it is so chic. I’m going to buy the larger one for my living room. It’s like a piece of art on the floor. The colors are amazing and I always smile when I see it in my kitchen. It’s so soft and the perfect pop of blue color for my kitchen. Update, 11 months later: Still obsessed!! If you’re on the fence about getting this rug just do it now! I’m so impressed with the quality of this rug. It is a bit thin so I was worried about washing it because I have two children and a black lab so I knew it would have to be washed often and I’m happy to say I’ve washed it probably 20 times and it’s still in great shape! We also have this rug in the kitchen things have spilled on it and the quality is still great. I do not put it in the dryer though because the rubber backing would start to crack if I did so I just wash it on gentle and hang it over a bathroom door to dry. After almost a year later and numerous times in the washer it still looks great!!!" —Sabrina M
