What is the difference between a rug, a runner, and a mat?

A rug is typically a larger floor covering, while a runner is a long, narrow rug made to fit longer spaces. A mat is usually a smaller, more compact option, including styles like doormats, boot mats and pet mats.

How do I choose the right size rug or mat for my space?

Measure first, then match your measurements to the dimensions listed for each item. Compare both the width and length (usually listed in inches or feet) so you can choose a size that looks balanced in your layout.

What shapes are available in L.L.Bean rugs and mats?

You will find a mix of shapes, including rectangular, round, oval and crescent options. The best choice comes down to the look you prefer and the footprint you want to cover.

Do you offer personalized rugs or mats?

Yes, some doormats are available with personalization. Check the product name and details for the word "Personalized" to confirm that option on the specific style you like.

How should I care for rugs and mats?

Care depends on the specific style, so follow the Care instructions listed on the product page. In general, routine vacuuming and prompt spot cleaning help keep rugs and mats looking their best.

Rugs and mats are finishing pieces that help pull a space together, adding color, pattern and a sense of welcome. This assortment includes rugs, runners and doormats, plus specialty styles like boot mats, pet mats and Comfort Mat designs. You will also find L.L.Bean favorites like Waterhog mats and Vacationland rugs, offered in a wide range of looks.

Start by measuring the length and width you want to cover, then compare those numbers to each item's listed dimensions. You will see options in rectangular, round, oval and crescent shapes, along with runners designed in longer lengths. When you are deciding between two sizes, outlining the footprint on the floor with painter's tape can help you picture the fit.

For a coordinated look, choose a simple color palette and repeat it across rugs and mats in different sizes. Some doormats are offered with personalization - look for "Personalized" in the product name. A small detail like that can make an everyday essential feel more like your own.
