A floor mat is a piece of material placed on the floor to provide comfort, safety, or decoration. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials, such as rubber, carpet, or vinyl. Floor mats are commonly used in homes, offices, and public spaces to reduce slipping, absorb moisture, and protect flooring. In addition to their practical uses, floor mats can enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room. They are often used in entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Some mats are designed for specific purposes, like anti-fatigue mats for standing workstations or welcome mats to greet guests at the door.
