Make a big difference with small details!

In your kitchen—where you spend most of your time—you can create an environment that’s both comfortable and stylish with a soft rug underfoot. These small details can make a big difference in your life. You can easily choose the shape, size, color, and pattern of your rug based on how you use your kitchen space.

* Even if your kitchen is small, you can enhance the impact by placing a small, traditionally patterned rug in the area where you work the most on a dark-colored floor.

* For a narrow, elongated space, you can choose runners to define your walking path in a sophisticated way.
* By laying a long, finely woven runner on the floor of a rectangular space, you can make the kitchen

appear more spacious.
* Handwoven rugs and kilims on kitchen countertops—the heart of your home—will enhance your quality of life.
* Striped rugs and runners are particularly popular in kitchens because they create an airy and spacious effect.
* You can choose rugs made from natural materials in oval and round shapes to create a warm atmosphere.

PRACTICAL TIPS

When choosing a rug for your kitchen, the most important factors to consider are that it is water-resistant and easy to wash.
For runner-style or kilim-style kitchen rugs that aren’t too large, take them outside at regular intervals and shake them out thoroughly to remove dust and crumbs. This way, instead of throwing them in the washing machine, you can air them out and extend their lifespan.

To prevent the colors of naturally dyed rugs from fading, it’s better to wipe them down with a good rug shampoo and air-dry them rather than washing them in the machine. Be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight during the summer months.

If a delicate, hand-woven kitchen rug is machine-washable according to the care instructions, choose cold water to preserve both its texture and colors for a long time.

If you spill something on your rug while working in the kitchen, try removing small, fresh stains immediately with baking soda.

For rugs made from natural materials like sisal, the most common and easiest way to clean them is to wipe them down with soapy water and, once they’re slightly dry, use a powerful vacuum cleaner to remove any remaining moisture.
