Why You May Want to Add a Rug to Your Kitchen

Rugs are fantastic décor additions to any room in the home – including the kitchen. There’s no reason not to add a rug to your kitchen, and plenty of reasons to do so.

A rug in the kitchen can complement your spaces’s design, make slippery floors safer, and provide joint relief when standing for long periods of time while cooking or doing dishes. Putting a rug in the kitchen can be the best décor decision you can make.

Safety First

According to the National Floor Safety Institute, slip and falls send about one million people to the hospital every year. The majority of serious and fatal slip and fall accidents happen right at home. Spills and wet floors in the kitchen can cause a dangerous slip and fall accident. Adding a rug to your kitchen, however, can help keep you safe. A rug can soak up spilled liquids, keep your feet dry, and keep you from slipping in wet areas.

Joint Relief

Your joints can suffer when you have to stand on hardwood, linoleum, or tile kitchen floors while you chop, cook, and clean. If you’re constantly switching from leg to leg for relief from pain in your knees, hips, or other joints, the right rug could work wonders. Standing on a thick, cushiony rug can provide much-needed relief from pressure on your joints. With a rug, you can stand longer to cook (or clean) without feeling pain or soreness in your joints.

Create a More Comfortable Space

A rug (or a few rugs) in your kitchen not only improve your personal health and safety – they can boost the overall look and feel.. The right rug in the perfect size, shape, and shade can enhance your areas design and complement your existing décor, such as a colorful backsplash or minimal white marble countertops. Consider which rug color and material would look best. Then, upgrade your space with the perfect room addition.
