Modern Kitchen Rugs

By: Aretha Rudford

A kitchen can be modern, country, classic, or traditional. Regardless of you're your kitchen is decorated, it must be comfortable. That's why contemporary kitchen rugs are so popular with today's cooks, decorators and homemakers.

Whether to have a kitchen rug is largely a matter of your personal preference. Some people just can't deal with the thought of having a rug in a room where people are cooking and eating. Even the smallest spill can result in a lifelong stain, or a sticky mess that can take forever to clean. Those folks might be persuaded to change their ways, however, if they could see just how pretty the right rug can be in a kitchen.

Kitchen rugs are no longer the frail floor coverings that they once were. Today's rug materials are more durable and made of easy to clean fibers. Spills are easily wiped up and stains don't penetrate as deeply or quickly as with those cotton rugs of the past.

With all of the different kinds of kitchen rugs that are available on today's market, it's easy to find one that will suit your both your family's lifestyle, and your kitchen's personality. From fruity themes to classic country decor to sleek, modern styles, there is bound to be a rug out there that will complement the design and color palette of your kitchen.

Even if your kitchen is in transition, you'll likely find a rug that will tie in to both the current theme, and your upcoming decor. If you currently have a parade of country-blue cows and ducks bordering your cabinetry, but have visions of a sleek modern culinary oasis, you might choose a rug with a simple geometric design, highlighted with splashes of blue. The rug will look fine with today's barnyard theme, and will be a great accent for your upcoming renovation.

Kitchen rugs are, for the most part, relatively inexpensive. There's really no reason why you shouldn't treat yourself to a new rug today, and then buy another after you redecorate. The kitchen rug that you have now will still be in good shape, so you can use it as a shoe mat on the porch or by the door.

Regardless of your decorating taste, a kitchen rug can easily create warmth and add a little character to your room. Look for a fun theme to jazz up your kitchen, or to provide the perfect finishing touch to your recent renovation. If your home is on the market, the right kitchen rug is an inexpensive way to make your house more appealing to buyers seeking warmth and comfort.

If you're one of those people who stress about spills and stains in the kitchen, stop worrying. The warmth of a kitchen rug on a chilly morning is certainly worth the effort. Your toes will thank you!
