A grey kitchen rug can highlight your room’s decor by accentuating the room’s color scheme, reinforcing the style, and setting the mood. No matter what room you’re decorating, a rug should work together with the decor, furniture, and fixtures to create one unified space. That doesn't make the decor fade into the background--quite the opposite! It allows each piece to shine as a piece of the grander scheme.
So much of the kitchen is defined by the cabinets, countertops, and fixtures, but adding in a grey kitchen rug is a great way to reinforce that style and also add in your personal flair. You can use the rug’s color palette to connect to some of the fixtures and look at the rug’s design for inspiration with curtains, kitchenware, and other pieces of the design.
There’s so much possibility out there with grey kitchen area rugs that you may be wondering how to find one that’s right for you. One of the best ways to go about it is to consider these important topics.
Position: It’s important to look at positioning a rug where it’s both beautiful and practical. Each kitchen is unique, so check out these general guidelines to give you ideas.
Small Stations: You can establish your sink or stove areas with a small 2x3 or 3x5 grey kitchen rug in front of either of those spaces. Those are popular places to place a rug, since they’re spots you’re often standing still.
Runner Options: Grey runner rugs are a great option for many kitchens, and there are a few ways you can position them. In galley kitchens, place your runner centered in that space or centered with the sink. The same can apply to kitchens with an island; use a grey runner rug to establish the path and provide comfort.
Large Area Rug: In kitchens with an open floor plan, you have the option of centering a rug in the middle of the room to pad the space in front of your counters and add comfort. The specific size of the rug will depend on the size of your kitchen, but they can range from 4x6 and up.
Material: Since kitchens see messes and foot traffic, it’s important to think about what material you want your rug to be. Consider a machine washable grey rug if you’re really concerned about messes. You can also look at thicker rugs to provide more comfort or mats to go beneath the rug.
Pattern: No matter what style your kitchen is, you can find a grey kitchen rug that fits in with that style. You can choose a very big and loud pattern that features geometric shapes, oriental medallions, or other distinctive designs. On the other hand, you can go for something simpler like stripes or solid tones. Whatever pattern you choose, be sure it connects to the style of the rest of the room, including the cabinets and countertops.
Color: Within grey kitchen area rugs, you can find a variety of greys and other color combinations. Grey is commonly paired with other neutral tones like black, white, and beige, but you also find other hues like yellow, blue, green, and so many others. When you’re choosing a color palette, focus on finding one that will connect to the rest of the room and convey the same tone.
