mats on wood floors
Comments (4)Just read this thread because I was wondering about placing area rugs down on our upcoming cork flooring. I read somewhere not to use rubber backed rugs. What's the alternative so that they don't slip and slide around?...See MoreRug or Mat to cover panel..
Comments (14)Since you have those sizes ordered, try them and see how you feel about it. And while you wait for them focus on putting your stuff back in the space. Often we get wrapped up with what has changed in the space before everything gets put back. When everything is put back, what we thought was an issue then just disappears or isn't important any longer as it is no longer the focal point....See MoreWhat kind of rug / runner / mat do you use in kitchen?
Comments (16)With wood floors, I would just protect by the sink due to potential water damage. For years we have used a patterned jute rug with a non slip pad. It can be flipped, so extends usage and can be sprayed down/hung to dry outside (never wanted to potentially damage our washing machine. They are also inexpensive, so can be easily replaced. I came across this mat if interested, which is polyester vs jute and noticed its attributes: made in Italy, washable, rubber backed, a darker simple pattern and only $40CDN. I often purchase from Simons and have never been disappointed. There are countless styles and price ranges if interested in jute. I’d definitely not add a fabric mat in front of stove and just quickly wipe up. https://m.simons.ca/en/rugs-furniture/rugs/hallway-runners/braided-jute-kitchen-mat-52-x-150-cm--17271-3202250?colorId=16&epik=dj0yJnU9R0pPbHlkUHUwbHpCWkRYOEVZUER4Y2phTDRjTEhHZWomcD0wJm49Vzc2NEI2aUdSZjctZ1RLRy1GR1ZFZyZ0PUFBQUFBR0dfT29v Perhaps consider a patterned, vinyl/pvc mat, which is non slip and can be wiped clean - especially if wanting one at stove. It will protect wood from normal wear and tear as well. It will last forever, comes in endless designs/colors and can even be custom. https://www.etsy.com/listing/881617716/astolpho-45-vinyl-floor-mat-vinyl-rug?utm_medium=display_product&utm_source=pinterest&utm_campaign=us_pros_daba_olfgms&utm_content=homeliving_autobid&utm_custom2=626743244770&pp=1&epik=dj0yJnU9RGRuUElEN2JpWDB2OHhLNGJPeWZhc3VkajJwbng2eHcmcD0wJm49dFBtWWdCWl9jMHRxMlh5X2hscmk0ZyZ0PUFBQUFBR0dfVkY4...See Morealternatives to a bath rug/bath mat?

Comments (4)I've not used anything like a vinyl mat, but do have a 5x7 area rug in my bathroom that functions as a bath mat. It's near enough to the shower and tub to step out onto, and is large enough that it doesn't slip or slide around. It's polypropylene and easy to just vacuum routinely....See Moresjhockeyfan325
