Your kitchen is probably one of highest-traffic areas of your home and yet it is often the most neglected room in terms of décor. While we all appreciate the look and feel of a good quality area rug in a dining room or bedroom, it is not often that we think about placing a rug in the kitchen.
A kitchen area rug can change the whole perspective of the room and choosing the right rug will provide a feeling of warmth and elegance.
Kitchen area rugs
are becoming more and more common as people consider choosing a rug to protect the floor coverings in their kitchen. In general, an area rug for a kitchen should not dominate the area by completely covering the floor.
Instead, a small rug placed in the centre of the room or near a refrigerator is preferable to protect tiles from chipping if heavy bottles and the like are dropped on the floor. You might also place an area rug at the doorway to the kitchen as a welcoming entry point.
Always remember to fix your kitchen rugs to the floor to prevent accidents. A non–slip pad is a useful way of securing the rug.
Braided rugs are the most popular form of kitchen rug. Braided rugs are woven in fabrics to create some beautiful and unique designs that will suit any kitchen. The added advantage of braided area rugs is that they are generally hand or machine washable which is a must for any kitchen area rug.
Kitchen rugs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and designs. Check out our merchants to get a great deal in kitchen area rugs. You will have a hard time choosing from the huge range available.

For beauty and quality place a Karastan rug in your home
Since 1928, Karastan have been manufacturing beautiful area rugs in a huge range of styles and colors. Karastan originally reproduced Persian and oriental style rugs and created a loom which allowed the pile to show through the back of the rug thus mimicking the hand-woven oriental originals. Today, Karastan have extended their range to include a variety of styles and designs as well as broadloom carpet.
The Karastan name has endured with beautiful quality rugs that stand the test of time. To test their durability, back in 1933 at the Worlds Fair, Karastan put one of their rugs on display and allowed the public to walk all over it. After more than 5 million people walked over the rug, half of it was cleaned. According to Karastan, the rug still exists with half still showing the stains left by millions of feet and the other half returned to its former glory.
Genuine oriental and Persian rugs are a wonderful investment but the time and effort that goes into their creation is reflected in the price and for many is well out of their price range. Karastan Rugs
are the perfect alternative that will allow you to create the same effect as a genuine rug but at a fraction of the cost.
The Karastan rug mill utilizes chemically stable dyes and high quality worsted wool from New Zealand which gives the rugs their lasting quality. Karastan rugs are custom made to look like traditional antique Persian carpets and their prices are competitive.
Simply remember a few basic rules to keep your Karastan rug looking pristine:
- Vacuum daily in high traffic areas and less often in areas where there is less traffic.
- Clean spills immediately with water and clear soap using a non-pigmented cloth to absorb any fluid.
- Use flat plastic discs under heavy furniture to prevent indentations into the rug, which may sever the fibers.

Beautify your kitchen with a quality kitchen rug
Kitchen floor tiles can often be stark and cold but by adding an area rug you can create warmth and color to your kitchen décor. Kitchen rugs are not usually considered a necessary requirement for a kitchen but a good quality rug is a functional way to add warmth and color.
What to Look for When Buying Kitchen Area Rugs
When purchasing a rug for your kitchen, it is important to consider that it will absorb lots of spills. It is therefore worthwhile purchasing an area rug that is machine-washable. It should also be durable enough to take on high traffic as the kitchen is one of the most highly used rooms in the house.
What Material Should You Buy?
There have been many improvements in fiber technology and construction techniques which means that even less expensive kitchen rugs are hard wearing, although some rugs are prone to becoming flat and easily soiled. Wool is usually a preferred choice as it resists daily wear better than synthetic fibers. Wool is well known for its many qualities such as high durability and easy care. Rugs made of cotton are machine washable and sisal rugs are hard wearing. It all comes down to personal preference.

Kitchen rugs not only look good, they also have a practical use. A rug in your kitchen can be useful in protecting the flooring from accidental drops of heavy objects such as pans and jars which can easily crack tiles. A small area rug in front of the refrigerator, stove or sink will protect these areas.
Braided rugs are often used in the kitchen because of their durability and ease of cleaning. The variety of colors and designs of braided rugs is amazing so you will easily find a kitchen rug to suit your home.

Fibers from Sisal, Jute and Seagrass are obtained from plants that grow in Mexico, Brazil, Africa and in some parts of Asia, where the material is harvested and processed into yarn before being sent to the mills for weaving into rugs and carpets.
Jute is one of the softest of all natural fibers making it ideal for bedroom and lounge areas. It is not suitable for high traffic areas of your home or moist wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
The jute fibers are woven together to create a beautifully textured finish in earthy tones ranging from light tan to brown. Natural jute area rugs look particularly good in a contemporary home against hard-wood floors.
Sisal fiber is stronger than jute and therefore very durable. Sisal rugs
can be used in high traffic areas including hallways and on stairs.
Sisal has the ability to be dyed allowing for a range of colors and patterns. This beautiful, elegant rug makes it suitable for many areas of the home particularly living areas and kids rooms which see a lot of wear.
Sisal, Jute and Seagrass rugs are available in all sizes and shapes such as oval, round or square, so they will certainly suit most rooms including the bedroom or sitting room.
Available in beautifully painted designs and borders in all colors, these natural rugs are suitable for use in either indoor or outdoors areas of your home.
