Here are some more that we're on Amazon. Most are about 20x38. Sorry about the large spaces between the pics

I love my Chilewich!

Those are nice!! I think I'd like a pattern vs. a picture if that makes sense. :/

Yes, I looked for one that looked like a Persian, or any traditional pattern, and didn't find it on Amazon. You're going to have to do some searching because it doesn't seem like manufacturers are interested in making those. The 3rd, above, is the one I tried to post because it has the colors you mentioned. It would do for comfort and then can move to the laundry when you've found something that fit your vision.

Alternatively, use the average mat for everyday and a pretty rug for special occasions. I move the smaller rugs around, often.

Yes- that Persian look is really hard to find! Not a bad idea to have a nice colorful one that I pull out when we entertain and a workhorse one for day to day. I might have to do that! I was really hoping to have a nice one out all the time but that's going to be difficult I'm afraid :/

Not an anti-fatigue mat, but I'm a big fan of canvas floor cloths- they're durable, easy to wipe up spills, and look great. I've made a few in the past, but my desire to create them has now been replaced by a desire to buy them, LOL. I'm still searching for some nice ones in Canada, to save cross border shipping.

You're ahead of your time. Retailers will catch up, eventually ;)

alex- I think you're totally right!! They'll be all over in 1 year. But I want it noooooooow lol

I just looked at some runners and rugs, some had fringe; yuck! Surely there is something out there that's meant for kitchens. Similar to this look... but not.

I'd also take something much smaller, for just in front of my sink.

Try Pier 1! Also, surprisingly Walmart had a lot of kitchen mats in their store last time I looked (in kitchen aisle, not the area rug aisle). You could also check out Target and Costco.

look for "kitchen anti-fatigue mat" and you get more colors and designs.

This company has a large selection of vinyl mats. Beautiful designs and colors. Saw them in an upscale home furnishings store. https://www.spicherandco.com/home.php?cat=1398

I'm a fan of vinyl-backed, non-slip rugs that are washable. With dogs, cats, and kids, I need something that can be thrown in the wash machine weekly. Kmart and Kohl's seem to have the most durable rugs, that can be washed many times without the backing wearing off. (I don't put them in the dryer.) Home Depot has the least durable I ever bought - fell apart by the second wash.

Here's a suggestion. There is a site called "flor". They make carpet "tiles" that can be attached together for whatever size. Two tiles is perfect for in front of the sink, or choose more for a runner effect. I bought four tiles and created two rugs/mats for in front of sink and range. They have a rubber backing so they stay in place and are super easy to clean (spot remover like "Tech). Many colors and styles to choose from and a great value (around $15-22 per tile). When I get tired of the ones I have I will just choose some new style/color. Here's a couple styles as example. And link is:https://www.flor.com/carpet-tiles/all-tiles

Good luck!

The flor tiles are interesting, I had not thought of using those! I kind of like this one.

I was really hoping to avoid the carpet route but it looks like I'm not going to be able to. I guess I should start looking at different rugs and runners. Rats, I was really hoping to find something more durable.

My apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but.. you love the persian rug look, but you think that they're not going to stand up to heavy use and/or water splashes AND want something that is anti-fatigue? We currently have a Kilim style rug in our kitchen that has been thoroughly 'loved' and doesn't show significant signs of wear - a good vacuuming each week (let's be fair, every few weeks) and it's as good as new. GOOD rugs (which are not necessarily $$$ rugs) will withstand quite a lot of abuse, and if you pair them with a quality pad, you've actually got a fair amount of padding. The Kilim style is a flat woven, so probably not what you're looking for, but the other tufted wool rugs in our house are probably even more neglected and are none the worse for wear - some of them were used 25 years ago and still look great. You can find really nice quality rugs second-hand (that have been professionally cleaned) for really quite reasonable prices. With a decent pile and nap, they're delicious to step on.

OK, my dog just threw up over my hallway oriental runner, then distributed it and basicaly worked it into the fibers.

It was gross. I took it outside and actually washed it with Dawn, luke warm water, and hosed it off. I left it outside to dry. It looks great, the colors are much brighter, the pile is higher.

What I mean to say, is get the runner you like. The ones from rugsusa are relatively inexpensive. You can hose it off or replace once it's beyond cleaning.

Or go for a wool runner, maybe on EBay or some of the online auction, like liveauctioneers.com

So my issue is the kitchen mat will get gross, quickly :/ I might be something of a germaphobe lol. I really like this one $50 from esale rugs for a 2x6 runner. Though the fringe is not appealing. I don't want/need anti fatigue for the comfort- I like the idea that I can wipe up a spill easily with a wet cloth.
