Rugs are an undeniably cozy way to enhance any room in your house. Whether you choose a fluffy wall-to-wall shag or a vintage-looking patterned area rug, the right textile holds the power to elevate and define your space.

While they're often a decorator's favorite accessory to turn up the style and tie together elements in a room, rugs are notoriously difficult to clean. That's why we're sharing some of our favorite washable rugs, which are perfect for high-traffic areas and spaces that tend to experience more than just a little wear and tear. Once your rug starts showing signs of use, you can throw it in the washing machine for an easy refresh—no trips to the dry cleaner or professional steamer rental necessary.

Easy-to-clean components like removable covers and cushioned rug pads make carpets simple to wash. Place one in your living room or kitchen for an instant refresh, and throw it in the washing machine to make it look good as new. Your kids, pets, and even a glass of wine won't be able to leave a lasting mark.

Washable rugs and carpets come in a variety of makes, shapes, and patterns, which means there's really something for everyone in this category. From plush and patterned to simple and sophisticated, we're sharing some of the best washable rugs available right now.
