Posted by: admin : Category: As I said before, the size of your kitchen is going to play a roll in this decorating process. You obviously do not want a huge rug if you have a small kitchen, but you also do not want a tiny rug if you have a large kitchen. Look at the range of country kitchen rugs available to you and match up the size of your kitchen to the size of the rug. There will be a number of choices once you have found the proper size for your kitchen. Everything from nylon to wool and cotton to acrylic or any combination of fabrics is available. There are even woven rag rugs, which are the best for kitchens. Watch which rug you purchase also, some rugs are easy to maintain and clean, while others can be a hassle. You will want to stick with something that is machine washable since you may end up spilling on the rug occasionally. With that in mind though, the first few times you wash the rug you might want to keep it separate from other clothing since the colors could run.
When selecting a style of rug, enjoy it and find something that matches your personality. Certain colors will certainly be more appealing also. Often times mixing a bright, bold color such as a rich, deep red with a more earthy tone such as a soft, gentle green really make the room come alive. Don’t be afraid of brighter colors. Bright colors will spice up the kitchen and make it feel more welcoming and not so dark.
Location is another decision you will have to face. Generally in front of the sink is a great place for a kitchen rug, since you will often be standing in that one place for a while. Other place would include in front of the stove, or where you normally stand at the counter to prepare food. No matter where you place it, the kitchen rug will ensure that you won’t slip and the spills won’t stain your floor.
Now that you have everything in place you can throw a few more antiques and pictures up and you suddenly have a cozy, welcoming country kitchen, just like the one your grandmother use to have. You won’t have to lose your modern appliances either. Just decorate around them and be ready to soak in the rustic, country kitchen you have just created in your home.
