Q: I love the idea of having a rug under the dining table, but I’m concerned about what might get split on it. Is there a washable rug out there that has looks as well as performance?

A: Jennifer Manners Design’s /re/purpose collection could be what you’re looking for. Made from recycled plastic and with a lovely plush texture, the five designs include this spotty ‘Perugia’ rug. According to the showroom, the collection is “made for everyday hard living” being stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable. You could also look to Perennials, whose rugs are robust enough for outside use but are frequently specified for interiors schemes, too.
