Vintage Vinyl Rugs

Why Vintage Vinyl Rugs?

Did you know that vintage vinyl rugs have been gaining popularity in recent years? And with so many choices, these luxury options are perfect for any home.

Luxury vinyl rugs replicate tile and hardwood flooring with a variety of styles and designs. From realistic wood or tile options to fun patterns that’ll dress up your home, there’s something for every situation. And the best part? Vintage vinyl rugs can be installed almost anywhere, over any existing flooring.

These low-maintenance rugs are even used in basements and bathrooms that are prone to flooding since they are not quickly water damaged. If you're looking for ideas on how to use these beautiful pieces, check out the ones listed below:

• You can use vintage vinyl floor cloths in kitchens that require floor protection. Many kitchens receive too much soil, moisture, and traffic to make a yarn rug practical, but a vinyl rug will create a classic look in an instant.
• Use vintage vinyl inspired rugs from leading brands like Spicher and Company anywhere in your home. They can make your bathrooms easier to clean, your basement more beautiful, your kitchen more luxurious, and your living room more inviting.
• Vintage rugs made from vinyl work well in hallways, walkways, and entryways. These high traffic zones often cause wear and tear on delicate rugs, but vinyl options can be kept nice with simple sweeping and mopping.

A Closer Look At Vintage Vinyl Mats and Rugs

Whether you call them vintage vinyl mats or vintage vinyl rugs, these beautiful flooring options offer more benefits than you might assume. These include:

• Low maintenance. Vinyl mats are simple to maintain with sweeping, mopping and can even be sanitized with a disinfectant wipe. Few other rug options are as easy to care for.
• Water-resistant. A properly cared for vinyl mat is practically waterproof, which is perfect for laundry rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
• Comfortable. Vintage vinyl rugs are not as cold as tile or wood in the winter, and they’re generally softer underfoot.

Are Vintage Vinyl Rugs Right For Me?

Do you love how these flooring options look? If so, there’s no reason not to buy one! Other reasons that vintage vinyl rugs might be perfect for your home include:

• Cost. If you’re looking for affordable flooring options, you can’t beat vinyl mats. They’re still less expensive than most moderately-priced traditional rugs and durable to last for years.
• Durability. If you’re worried about finding a rug that can stand up to your lifestyle or home, vintage vinyl mats are a perfect solution. Many vinyl floorcloths like the ones from Spicher and Company are made with two-ply vinyl that has a latex padded backing. It is about 1/16” thick so can fit under most doorways and has a certified non-slip surface. It is non-flammable, phthalate-free, and UV-resistant for up to three years.
