Best Rug Guides
It’s no secret that rugs can add comfort to any room they’re used in, but how do they work practically? They’re often praised for their comfort beneath the feet and impacting the room’s tone, and yet there’s so much more to rugs than just how they look and feel. Another key factor to consider is how durable they are and how they stand up to daily life and high traffic. When you’re looking for the best rugs for high traffic areas, it’s important to think through what sort of materials you’re looking for, how easy they are to clean, and how plush they are beneath your feet. If you’re not sure where to start your search, start here by looking at twenty of our top high traffic rugs.
This rug from Oriental Weavers is not only approved for high traffic areas, but it’s also a warm blend of colors perfectly suited for welcoming guests into your home or into high traffic rooms. All four color schemes are presented in simple stripes and color schemes fitting for modern and transitional homes.

The Breton Stripe rug is another favorite for high traffic areas due to its durability and ability to be used both indoors and outdoors. It’s resistant to outdoor elements, including mold, mildew, and mold, so whether you’re using it inside or out, you have a high quality, durable rug.
“I have more than a few Chilewich products in my home so I expected the stylish, sturdy rug that arrived.

My daughter has the same designer rug but a different print and she’s very happy with her rug and looks amazing in her home. The rug is thin and I got the premium pad to go underneath, glad I did. The borders look well stitched Andi the rug rolled out nicely when I opened it. And no bad chemical odor…yay!” -Caroline M.
