White Kitchen Rugs

Freshen up with a White Kitchen Rug

Adding a white kitchen rug to your space will instantly add style and softness to the heart of the home. Ready to find the perfect design for your decor? Read on for some of our favorite tips to help you find the perfect white kitchen area rug for your home.

Why a White Kitchen Rug?

Many people shy away from white kitchen area rugs because of potential messes or stains. While this is understandable, especially in busy or active homes, today's materials make it easier to keep your rugs clean. Many indoor/outdoor materials, for example, can often be washed from home with a hose or washing machine. And several synthetic materials would allow you to pull a stain out of your white kitchen rug with a mini carpet shampooer. 

For those who aren't sure how to use a white rug in the kitchen, we've listed some ideas below to help with inspiration:

• Narrow and L-shaped spaces will work well with white kitchen runner rugs instead of larger area rugs. These lovely options provide padding and protection across the floor, and they come in many appealing styles.
• If you're worried about a thick rug being a tripping hazard, consider a white kitchen mat instead. Mats are thinner and smaller, so they're less likely to cause issues. And most of them are easier to keep clean than rugs.
• Try using a white rug under the kitchen table and chair setups if you're unsure about using one in your main area. You'll still benefit from the bright color, but the rug will be in a lower-traffic zone with less risk for spills.

A Closer Look at White Kitchen Area Rugs

Did you know that interior decorators often use color psychology to choose decor for a home? For example, they might use white kitchen area rugs if a homeowner favors kitchens that look crisp and clean.

Is a White Kitchen Rug Right for Me?
