Consider the size

Before looking at kitchen Rugs, measure the available space. You don't want to find out after buying Rug that it's too big to even fit in the space! If you plan to place Rug between a cabinet and an island, measure the length and width of the space and subtract 5-20 centimeters from the sides (depending on how much of the floor you want to leave visible under the edges of Rug).

Similarly, if you plan to place Rug under a dining table, Rug should preferably be at least 60 centimeters larger than the size of the table. This will ensure that the chairs remain on the rug even when pulled out.

Choose the right shape

The next step is to choose the right shape for your rug. If you have a large room, consider placing a round Rug to balance the space. A long, narrow Rug (similar to a long rectangle) is suitable for use between cabinets and an island.

If your kitchen does not have an island, place a large rectangular Rug in the center to add visual interest. In dining areas, Round rug works well under a round table, while rectangular ones are suitable for use under rectangular tables.

Decide on the right material

Take plenty of time to choose the right material for your kitchen rug. Generally, smooth-surfaced Rugs are ideal choices for kitchens. They are easier to clean and maintain, and their Dirt and splashes (which often occur in the kitchen) are easy to wipe off the surface. Rugs made of polypropylene are also good choices, as this material does not absorb dirt and is easy to wipe clean.

Other suitable material options for kitchen rugs include jute (Durable and cleanable) and wool (an easy-care and naturally dirt-repellent material). Whichever option you choose, remember to follow the care instructions for the material so that Rug will withstand heavy use in the kitchen for as long as possible.

Make sure your Rug matches your decor

Your kitchen rug should complement your existing decor. For example, if you have a minimalist kitchen, consider a simple rug with a geometric pattern.

Think about your lifestyle

When buying a rug, think about your lifestyle. In general, Rug should be non-slip and easy to clean. To achieve this, choose a non-slip rug with a non-slip backing or use a non-slip fabric roll under the rug to prevent it from moving. Also, consider other factors before choosing the best kitchen Rug.

Choose the right place for your rug

If you spend a lot of time cooking, it's a good idea to place Rug near the oven and stove so that you have a soft mat under your feet to cushion your feet while you prepare meals. Similarly, if you want to create a "simple" look in your kitchen, choose a Rug with an attractive striped or patterned design. Placing it in your kitchen when you walk in is a great way to do this.
