Are rugs the first type of flooring you consider for your home? Probably not. The role of the rug is a complementary one. Rugs aren't usually considered the most suitable surface covering for higher traffic areas in a residence.
But does this mean that rugs aren't considered for the home? Far from it. Rugs are mostly valued as surface coverings. Homeowners value strategically placed rugs. What kinds of rugs are suitable for busy rooms like the kitchen in the home? Durable ones tough enough to take it, yet are easy on the eyes. Another feature? Rugs made with washable materials. Such rugs have an important assignment: to protect the kitchen floor it covers without prematurely aging in the process.
Admittedly, not everyone is convinced that rugs are an ideal fit for the kitchen. Skeptics of rugs in the kitchen are more likely to consider purchasing kitchen mats and runners instead. Odor resistant mats and runners ideally made with waterproof materials are capable of absorbing unexpected accidental spills during the creative food preparation process. Accidents happen and when you least expect them. Try not to get frustrated. Be prepared for accidents in the kitchen with mats and runners!
Value safety features? Some kitchen runners possess anti slip properties that protect preoccupied cooks in the kitchen. These are available in unique patterns that are specifically designed to camouflage unsightly stains commonly resulting from unwelcome kitchen spills.
There are even 3D kitchen runners available equipped with rubber gel backing that is water absorbent, yet dries quickly. Some runners are actually machine washable, wrinkle resistant and made in striped patterns. Why? Well, these patterns can accentuate a hardwood flooring pattern. Another benefit? The colors are fade resistant and are unlikely to wash out.
Some people feel the kitchen without a rug, mat or runner isn't complete. Your kitchen flooring is a worthy investment. Why not protect, preserve and extend the natural life of this investment?
