Do You Have a Rug in Your Kitchen?

on October 2, 2009 at 12:00 PM

kitchen I love the look of rugs in a kitchen. It's good for tired feet while cooking dinner and adds color into a room that can easily be blah.

But I am so clumsy that if I were to have a rug where I cook, it would have to be super cheap because it will nodoubtedly have sauce stains on it within a week.

And, in my mind, having a rug on a slick floor in a room where there are sharp edges and breakable items on counters scares me. Trip on the rug + little hand on counter to keep balance + plates on said counter = disaster.

I'm probably thinking too much into it. Lots of moms have rugs in their kitchen:

auntietotty says, "I can't imagine not having rugs in my kitchen. I have two smaller ones in front of my stove and sink, and a bigger one as you come in the back door for feet."

Wannabemom2008 also likes them, "I have put throw rugs in the kitchen as well as in the bathroom. It is best if you can find the kind that stick, or to find a way to grip them to the floor. I think rugs are a good investment because they make the room less boring and they also help catch water."

Hmm...the stick kind would ease my fear of slipping.

What do you think ladies? Do you have a rug in your kitchen?

Yup I have rugs in my kitchen... I would hate having it a bare floor and no color! I have one in front of my sink and one in front of the door! Red of course since all my accents in my kitchen are red.

We have rugs in our kitchen. I just throw them in the washing machine once a month. It is so nice to wash dishes with the softness of a rug underfoot - the hardwood floors are uncomfortable for standing for a long period of time.

I have one throw rug beneath my sink that goes with my kitchen theme. I also like the texture of the rug against my tile floor. It has a good rubber surface against the tile floor that grips the tile nicely and does not move or slip. What about some people who have wall to wall carpeting (rug) in their kitchen?? My mother in law always swore by wall to wall carpeting in her kitchen. I DO NOT LIKE WALL TO WALL CARPET FOR THE KITCHEN. It does not belong there.

I have a small kitchen. I don't have any rugs in the kitchen and am okay with that. It would just be one more thing to vacuum and pick up to sweep and mop.
