11 Cute, Comfortable And Not Hideous Vinyl Mats

Ever gone shopping for a specific product only to find that every option on the market is just plain ugly? In our series Not Hideous, we suss out the best high-performance buys that aren’t total eyesores. Function, meet form.

There are myriad reasons why having a vinyl floor mat in your home comes in handy. They’re great when you have small children who often spill while eating at the table, they are comfortable to stand on while doing dishes or using a standing desk, they can function as easy-to-clean runners in heavy traffic areas of the home and much more. However, finding non-hideous options can be a bit of a challenge — and no one should have to sacrifice style for comfort. 

If you are picky about your home’s aesthetic but know that you’d benefit from having a vinyl mat in your house, then you’ve come to the right place.

I absolutely refuse to offend my sensibilities by gazing upon an eyesore, even if it is a home necessity.
