Our 10 Best Washable Rugs to Withstand Spring and Early Summer

As the seasons change, so do the needs of a busy household. Maintaining elegance and cleanliness can be challenging with the hustle and bustle of daily life, particularly in homes with children and pets. Washable rugs offer a great mix of style and functionality to busy homes, and our team have some favourites for the season, helping to revitalise your home.

1. The Cove Rose Rug

The blushing pastel pink of the Cove Rose rug is a soft, sweet visual reminder of the floral colours of spring. But that isn’t where its gentleness ends; the tightly woven fibres provide a luxurious texture for your feet as well.

Imagine seating yourself here and relaxing in the afternoon sun with a cool breeze coming in through the window.

Where This Rug Looks Best: Anywhere you want that little bit of extra comfort will suit this rug, but we’d thoroughly recommend living rooms and bedrooms. The colour will blend especially well with the shades of orange and pink in the early morning light, so if you have to be up and about, you’ll be greeted by a gorgeous but tranquil colour scheme.

2. The Pangli Reversible Indoor Outdoor Green Rug

Naturally, warmer weather is going to mean spending more time outdoors. Having something like the Pangli Reversible Indoor Outdoor Green rug waiting for you means you can be outside in comfort and style, too. We’ve got lots of indoor-outdoor rugs for you to choose from online, but this stunning geometric design in lush green is too good to pass up.

What You Can Do With It: As this rug is fit for both indoor and outdoor use, the uses for it are versatile.

We’d suggest making the most of this wherever possible – especially when the weather is still changeable. That might mean putting it out on a deck to use as an area rug for some top-quality garden furniture when it’s sunny and bringing it in to brighten up a conservatory when the weather turns rainy.

3. The LLL CHELSEA Orange Washable Rug

Checkered like a storybook picnic blanket, the LLL CHELSEA Orange Washable rug is ideal for those looking for springtime or summery kitchen rugs. You can almost see yourself sitting down with your friends or kids to have a fun lunch of sandwiches and snacks in the sunshine coming in through your kitchen window. Because the rug is so easy to clean, you won’t even have to worry about spills or crumbs, either!

Where to Put it in Your Kitchen: If you’ve got a kitchen-dining area, an open space near or under the table would be our recommendation. It will catch dropped food under the table and can provide a pleasant focal point in the room if it’s out in an open space.

4. Washable Hug Windsor Natural Rug

Nothing says spring quite like florals and the Washable Hug Windsor Natural rug offers florals in a traditional weave you can use practically anywhere. Its neutral colour scheme makes it the perfect companion to practically any other shade, whether you want a cool springtime feel in your dining room or kitchen or a warm, welcoming, early-summer vibe in your living room or bedroom.

The pattern offers a timeless appeal, too, meaning it will look the part with modern or classically styled furniture.

What’s Special About It: This is one of our favourite cotton rugs, made from soft yet hardwearing Chenille that’s bound to last for years to come.

5. Jackie & The Fish My Bubble Green-Pink Rug

Looking for a modern, designer twist on spring and summer colours? You’ll be covered with the My Bubble Green-Pink rug from Jackie and the Fish.

This designer piece offers touches of green, pink, and yellow on a canvas of off-white, remaining pleasant to the eye and not overwhelming the room with its brightness. Adding to this visual ease are the deeper green, swirling lines, forming nondescript shapes that we perceive as soft and that could almost ebb and flow languidly like grass in a breeze.

Why We Love It: Apart from the wonderfully calming effect, we love these rugs because they come in both round and rectangular varieties, making them good area rugs for a range of room shapes.

6. The Vida Washable Rainbow Sun Rug

Spring is a time for sunshine and rainbows, and the Vida Washable Rainbow Sun rug comes with plenty of both. Children’s rugs should be designed to capture the imagination as well as to fit the theme of an interior, and placing a rug with pictures reminiscent of a bright and beautiful sky is bound to get them dreaming up new ideas. These are relatively small, extremely short pile rugs too, making transporting them down to the washing machine for cleaning effortless.

Other Ideas for This Rug: As a high-traffic area, keeping the rug on a child’s bedroom floor is probably going to be your best option to prevent extra dirt and scrapes all over the place. However, if you want to add a little bit of decoration around, you can always choose to hang the rug up like a tapestry instead.

7. The Silk Road Washable Rada Rug

If you’re looking for a rug with a vibrant and traditional look that offers easy cleaning, the Silk Road Washable Rada is a fantastic choice. It offers all the aesthetic appeal of classically made and styled rugs while coming in an energetic colour closer to the spring florals you may see from some plants in your back garden. It truly is the epitome of modern yet sophisticated interior design.

What Trend to Pair it With: The rug could be used in many spaces, but its faded look is very in keeping with the shabby chic interior design trend. This trend is all about relaxed, lived-in spaces and spring and summer are wonderful seasons to relax in, making the rug a great match for both.

8. The Design Piastrelle Rug

If you’re only trying to brighten up smaller areas in your home, like the space between two kitchen counters, something like the Design Piastrelle rug may be just what you need. Sporting bright seasonal colours, it’s just right for adding a vibrant touch to smaller spaces and for creating a directional path between two points.

For parents and pet owners, this could be useful for ensuring young children and pets don’t track mud into certain areas of the home. The use of patterns and colours also means that stains and spills will be more difficult to spot, keeping the rug presentable until you get the chance to put it in the wash.

The Kind of Floor to Place it On: The green in this rug and the black border stand out greatly. Softening their appearance may mean placing the rug down on a floor that’s darker than the rug itself. This ensures that the rug blends in nicely with the rest of the décor.

9. The Nature Runners Ivory Rug

If you’re making over your hallway for the spring and summer, you might also want to consider your options for runner rugs. These spots in your home are one of the most likely places to see high levels of foot traffic, meaning you’ll need excellent protection for your floors. As they branch off into other rooms, you can also use runners to create a beautiful, seamless flow between spaces.

With its bright, light colour, the Nature Runners Ivory rug flows like a gust of cool, refreshing springtime air, carrying both you and the theme you’ve established through the rest of your home.

How Else They Complement the Seasons: This particular rug also has a sisal look, giving it a natural and organic feel that conjures images of plants and warmer weather.

10. The Linea Pistachio Rug

Black and grey might not be first on your list of springtime or summery colours, but the Linea Pistachio rug manages to pull them off with aplomb. These trendy stripes combined with the brown, green, and cream stripes are full of life, just like spring, and as energetic as a day in the park in the middle of July or August.

Why We Love It: It’s a modern interpretation of what it means to move your interior design on into spring and summer!
