Why Do You Need A Kitchen Rug?
It’s no surprise that the kitchen is commonly called the heart of the home. The kitchen is where your day begins, where you spend time with friends and family and where you lovingly prepare your meals every day.
With so much time spent in your kitchen, why not make it as beautiful and comfortable as the rest of your home? Here are just a few reasons why you need the addition of a luxury kitchen rug.
-
Increase comfort and protection. A kitchen rug can help you avoid standing on hard surfaces for long periods of time, as well as protect any little ones you have running around your feet!
-
Stay warm in the colder months. Most kitchen floors are finished in tiles, stone or hardwood, so a kitchen rug can keep your feet warm and snug. Kitchen runners and rugs add a layer of insulation and warmth.
-
Reduce noise. Typically, kitchen counters, tile flooring, steel appliances and windows can increase the noise level in your kitchen. A kitchen rug can help absorb that noise as well as eliminate echoes throughout your kitchen.
-
Showcase your personality. A kitchen is usually the most used room in the home and seen by all friends and family while entertaining. Express your inner interior designer by choosing to add a kitchen rug with different colours or patterns to showcase your personality and style.
-
Add some design to your rental. If you’re frustrated with the look of the flooring in the kitchen of your rental home, an addition of a kitchen rug can instantly transform the whole vibe of the room and make it feel more like yours.
-
Easy maintenance and cleaning. Avoid cleaning your hardwood or tile floor every day! Plus, your kitchen rugs ensure your flooring stays protected from stains, and scratches and is perfect for hiding any spillages that may occur.

What Type Of Rug Is Best For The Kitchen?
While we know it’s easy to fall in love with our range of kitchen rugs, it might be difficult to know which rug is best for your kitchen!
We recommend that you choose a low-pile, easy-to-clean material for your kitchen rug that is spill and stain-resistant. Our collection of rugs has been carefully curated for their high-quality construction from superior materials such as jute rugs, wool rugs, polypropylene rugs, cotton rugs and more.
-
Jute is a rough material, sturdy enough to withstand a high level of foot traffic.
-
Wool kitchen rugs can handle moisture, as well as allowing more air flow than other rug materials.
-
Polypropylene kitchen rugs are easy to clean and designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while being spill and stain resistant, making it a great choice for a kitchen rug.

What Qualities & Features Should I Look For In A Kitchen Rug?
There are six main features we suggest you look for in a rug, that will benefit you in a kitchen setting. These include:
-
Slip resistance to avoid trip hazards and protect you and your family from hard surfaces.
-
Stain resistance to keep your kitchen rug looking newer for longer.
-
Water resistance to absorb less water and dry a lot quicker after getting wet.
-
Comfort, so that your rug is soft and warm underfoot.
-
Style, so your kitchen rug fits your home style and expresses your personality.
-
Absorption of stress and weight from foot traffic to increase your flooring’s lifespan.
Can A Kitchen Rug Be Too Thick?
To avoid any trip hazards in the kitchen we do recommend choosing a “thinner” rug – referred to as a low pile kitchen rug. Low pile kitchen rugs are super durable and hard-wearing, perfect for lots of foot traffic in the most used room in your home.
