It’s common to see a rug in a living room, bedroom, or even a bathroom, but one of the most overlooked spots to improve with a rug is the kitchen. Rugs can add warmth, color, and texture to a space. They also help keep areas of heavy foot traffic cleaner, making them a great asset to the space in front of the sink, for example. They help improve the overall flow of the space, too. Think of them as a way to lead the eye through the space and make it feel more complete. Here are 10 examples of how a kitchen rug can improve the style of the space.

A white and grey striped rug brings the light palette of the cabinets to the floor, pulling it all together.

An easy place to introduce a graphic pattern is in a rug, such as this one in this quaint and charming kitchen.
