There are many factors that you need to consider when looking to use a kitchen rug to improve the look of this important space. The right rug will add an undeniable and compelling flair and draw positive attention from all of your guests.
When adding a new rug to your kitchen decor, the first thing to consider is that the color of the rug will match the decor that has already been added.
1 color:
When thinking about the color of your kitchen rug, consider the color of all of your appliances, the color of the floor, wall paint, or paper, and even the color and texture of any painting or wall decor you’re using. If you get it right, you might even be able to combine the rug with several different colored pieces or decorative items.
If you’re using soft or earthy tones in your kitchen, a brightly colored rug can add a positive accent and really make a statement. Geometric patterns also work well here, but you need to be clear about the pattern and texture of your flooring. You certainly wouldn’t use a round pattern rug if you have rectangular tiles.
- Size:
I would like to remind you that when choosing a kitchen rug, it is necessary to take into account the size and shape at the same time. A round rug would not fit in a long rectangular kitchen space. A long rectangular rug also makes no sense in a large round or rectangular kitchen. If your kitchen is big, use a big rug. If it’s small, use a small one.
You can also use the shape of the kitchen rug to highlight a specific appliance or feature that you want to emphasize. A long carpet can draw the viewer’s attention to a specific piece of equipment or furniture.
- Location:
You want to display your kitchen rug in the right place for maximum impact or benefit. Of course, the rug has a purpose and you want it in a high-traffic area. You might want to use it to protect your floor rather than for looks. In that case, place it where it will protect against spills and stains on the floor. However, if you’re using your rug as an accent to the kitchen decor, place it where your visitors will appreciate it the most.
