While every Ruggable rug features innovative, two-part construction, this one from their Jonathan Adler collection stands apart for its chic design.

This washable rug on Amazon comes in five different colors, and features clean edges and a lush pile that feels delightful underfoot. Regardless of the size you choose, Ruggable’s combination of a nonslip rug pad and lightweight rug cover make both displaying and washing the rug an absolute breeze. To wash, simply remove the rug cover, toss it in the washing machine, and remove it, good as new.

What testers say: “Really love the design and the rug is super durable and doesn’t hold on to pet stains or odors. I’ve washed it a few times and it fits in a standard size washing machine.”

Inside or out? With an indoor/outdoor rug like this one by Leevan, the best part is, you don’t have to choose.
