Kitchen Rug Selection

9 photos

A kitchen rug should be chosen against the floor, not the cabinets, because the two are seen together every time you look down. Pattern helps, since it disguises the marks a working room leaves. These come in grey geometric, striped, green wave and brown woven styles, over light wood-grain, dark wood, grey tile and white tile.
