The kitchen is not only a place for cooking, but also a social space where we spend a lot of time. So it\u2019s worth making it cozy and inviting by adding texture, color, and pattern \u2014 for example, with a rug.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ideal place for a kitchen rug won\u2019t be as obvious as it would be in a living room or bedroom. Still, there are general rules you should consider, because the kitchen is a living room like any other,\u201d says interior designer Kara Childress<\/p>\n

Before deciding where to put a rug in the kitchen, you need to decide whether you want one or more. Interior designer Annie Burrows believes there are good reasons to go with the latter. \u201cRugs tend to get disproportionately expensive as they get bigger, so two smaller ones are a better choice. Plus, you can mix and match them to create different design ideas with your rug in the kitchen,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also worth considering the functional placement of the rug in the kitchen \u2013 it requires regular maintenance, and the smaller the rug, the easier it is to keep it looking its best. \u201cA small rug is easier to move around and will fit in a standard washing machine,\u201d Annie explains. Finally, a small rug will fit anywhere, meaning you can protect the floor in high-traffic areas from wear and tear \u2013 especially important with wood and natural stone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
