Non-Slip
An indoor mat with a non-slip, thick base should be able to keep it in place and also drain water as well as soil. The best ones to buy in this case will have flat or gripper backing. These kinds of mats are perfect for the indoors and suited for high traffic areas. The non-slip backing helps keep the mat in place thus prevents the hazard of slipping.

Height Conscious
Be sure to check the height of the mat that you plan to purchase! Mats that are too thick can keep doors from opening and closing properly.

Focus On Design + Function
Beautiful mats look nice but are they good enough to catch dirt? Perhaps not! Check the absorbency and durability of an indoor mat before you buy. Especially avoid highly decorative mats that might look nice, but won’t help keep your floors clean. Decorative mats may also be less durable and won’t hold up to frequent use.

Match Room Style
While decorative mats may not be such a great idea, don’t disregard design entirely. Attractive mats do lift up a room’s decor! While mats should have all the necessary requirements met like their size, thickness, absorbency, giving style and design due attention is a plus. While choosing the style, stick with colors that do not show dirt easily. It is always better to go for dark, mottled shades.
