Washable Accent Rugs
In smaller rooms, they can be used to brighten up the area. You could go in for themes. For instance, jazz up your kitchen with a fruit or vegetable themed washable accent rug; install a seashell patterned washable accent rug in the bathroom! The options are endless!
When used in the kitchen, they help in blending the cooking and the eating areas really well. This is a good idea if you have an eat-in kitchen and entertain friends there. Since these are washable, you needn’t worry about those spills. Just wash away the stains. In fact, it is this washable quality that makes then just what is needed in the kids’ rooms. You could go with the theme of the room or get a glitzy rug for an otherwise neutral room. Imagination and creativeness are enhanced when you get a fantasy themed rug for your little folks.
Many users have also placed these rugs at the entrance into different rooms and even at the main entrance to the house. This helps to protect the underlying floor or carpeting particularly when it is a high traffic area. If you are using washable accent rugs on bare flooring – wooden or concrete, you would want to invest either in rug pads that hold the accent rug in place or opt for washable accent rugs that have a non-skid layering underneath so that there is no fear of slipping.

Country Kitchen Rugs

Next come some curtains. Since you have decided first on the country kitchen rug, match your curtains to the rug.
Had it been the other way around, you could have taken some of the curtain samples and then go ahead to match the country kitchen rug with it. Anyhow, your curtains could be gingham checks or quilt patterned, patchwork or just plain floral and frilly. To add to the look of the curtains, you could place some jam and jelly jars on the window sill or if that’s not possible, the kitchen shelves.
In some kitchens, people have done away with shutters on their cupboards. Instead of that, they hang curtains to get that extra touch of the country.
