Best Rug Guides
Mudrooms can be both a blessing and a curse in that they welcome you, kids, and animals into the house, but these rooms also tend to see a lot of traffic and dirt. Plus, some mudrooms are used to do laundry, which many people don’t enjoy. Even so, you can find happiness in mudrooms by making the room as practical as possible in all areas, including the rug. Aside from their practicality, rugs can dramatically impact the tone of the room and create a space where you’ll actually want to spend time while still being durable and comfortable. Perhaps that’s hard to believe, but we’ve compiled some of our best mudroom rugs for you to see all the potential they hold.
Tile can be a gorgeous look for mudrooms, but it’s often impractical when it comes to cleaning and maintaining. That’s why we love this rug that imitates classic penny tile in two beautiful color palettes to create a timeless look.
“Love my new 3’ x 10’ mosiac vintage vinyl rug runner. It looks perfect in my mud room hallway! I have gotten so many compliments on it!” -Stephanie W.
This is another classic design from Spicher and Company that uses vintage tile as inspiration for its design. However, this rug makes more of a statement with its starry, celestial design and fits well in modern homes.
Pros:
“As an owner of a vintage vinyl runner (my first one purchased six years ago) I knew what to expect and I wasn’t disappointed when my runner (3’ x 9’7”) arrived. It is beautiful and very well made-no slipping on my hallway wood floor. I definitely expect it to “hold up” as much as my first one has-which still looks like it did when purchased. Also, it was delivered in a timely manner-and was well packaged!Definitely recommend!” -Carol T.
If you really want your mudroom rug to bring in a blast from the past, then Pattern 09 is a great option. It perfectly utilizes the classic checker pattern with light distressing and a border around the edge of the rug to create a classic yet modern look.
“I bought this to cover s splintery hardwood floor that we aren’t quite ready to rip out yet. The corners laid flat immediately as advertised. The vinyl is thin and will fit under doors with any problems. The image is beautiful and I am planning on using more of these products in future decorating. Would buy again for sure!” -Meredith E.

The Diamonds Area Rug is quite similar to the previous one, but this one uses less distressing in its design so that it feels more modern in its straight lines and overall neatness. Whether you choose this one or the previous one, you can get a quality checkered rug fitting for modern mudrooms.

The Wedding Ring Rug also blends vintage with modern to create a classic look in your mudroom. There are plenty of choices with color, shape, and size (including custom sizes) to really customize your mudroom.
“Love the rug. The colors are vibrant with a worn, lived in feel. Beyond pleased with the product and plant to purchase additional vinyl floor cloths soon. I don’t find the rug sticky on my feet as some have mentioned. It is very thin and a perfect duplication of vintage, old-school vinyl flooring.” -Rhonda R.
This is yet another rug from Spicher and Company’s Classic Vintage Vinyl Collection that’s perfect for mudrooms. The retro colors and clean-cut lines of the design blend modern and vintage styles together to make a bold, colorful statement wherever you place your rug.
“I love this “rug”. I have been looking at it for 3 years since I lived in SoCal but it did not work within the colors in that particular house. . Now I live in a 1937 little house and this is so wonderful in my kitchen. Vintage, great colors and printing technique so that it is a beautiful tie in to my yellow Bertazzoni stove and warm maple cabinets. Underfoot it is comfortable, dog has not damaged it and it is easy too clean since I am a messy, avid cook. I am so happy that I waited to put this in my current kitchen.” -Risa R.
If you lean a bit more traditional with your style, then this rug may be just right for the mudroom. It still has all the features of Spicher and Company’s other rugs, such as the non-slip backing, ease of cleaning, and durability, but the medallions lend themselves towards a classic, timeless style.
