I am beautiful to look at

Question

I thought I'd try a 'Riley riddle':

My prefix you sit on.
My suffix you swat at.
My infix you walk on,
But I am beautiful to look at.

What am I?

(It doesn't really rhyme if all the words are the same though, does it?!)

...and you guys thought that this place was just for puzzles! — Chowzen, Apr 07 '18 at 02:02

Wow! Apparently I need to be more cryptic in my clues. :) Nice job, both of you. – Apr 06 '18 at 21:44
I almost posted just the answer to then edit in the explanation, but I thought that might be cheating, so I just typed fewer letters! You probably started before me. – NetJohn Apr 06 '18 at 21:45
@Buildstarted Since there was another (different kind) puzzle with this answer posted recently, the word was present in short-term memory. – NetJohn Apr 06 '18 at 21:46
Hah! At least someone solved one of my puzzles :) – Apr 06 '18 at 21:47
@NetJohn I almost did the same thing, too – Aces Apr 06 '18 at 21:47
