Go Timeless with an Oriental Kitchen Rug

If you want to give your home classic appeal, an oriental kitchen rug will do the trick. And with so many color and material options, there's something to suit every taste.

Why an Oriental Kitchen Area Rug?

Many people overlook the potential presented by an oriental kitchen rug. While these pieces are more commonly found in the living or dining areas, you'll see the oriental kitchen area rug in country-style homes around the world. One of the primary reasons for this is the bright and colorful designs commonly found in oriental rug selections.

For those who still don't know how they want to use their new rug, we've listed some ideas we love below to help inspire you:

• Use an oriental rug in kitchen decor with bright accents like yellow, gold, green, or blue to change your space's personality. Colorful kitchen rugs make the space more inviting and comfortable to spend time in.
• If you don't have the space for a sizable option, try an oriental runner rug or two in your kitchen. This works well for apartments with hallway kitchens, L-shaped layouts, and kitchens with large islands in the center.
• Try a more modern take on this look with an oriental kitchen mat instead of a full-scale rug. This allows you to use multiple oriental designs and to pick where you want the padding in your space. 

A Closer Look at the Oriental Kitchen Rug

Oriental rug designs date back thousands of years, and they're still widespread in decorating today. These timeless classics aren't going anywhere soon, either, so they're a sound investment if you want to keep up with trends. You might buy an oriental kitchen rug in a color that you know you'll use in your interior decor for years to come so that it fits in no matter how your home changes.

Before you install your new rug, please read the manufacturer's instructions to learn about how to keep it clean. And consider picking a rug that's designed with indoor/outdoor material so that it's easy to maintain.

Is an Oriental Kitchen Area Rug Right for Me?

Since you have so many designs to choose from, there's an oriental kitchen rug option suitable for any taste. As long as you like how these rugs look, there's no reason not to buy one for your home. Busier houses even have access to indoor/outdoor options.

Before you buy, though, list the details you're looking for. This step will make the process of picking your new piece easier. We've included traits to consider below:

• Color: Choose a color or set of colors that will work well with your existing decor. You might also include psychology in your decision.
• Size: Measure your kitchen carefully and check out our Rug Size Guide if you need more help on placements. Then test your rug dimensions by giving our Room Visualizer Tool a try to see how it'll fit--if it's not quite right, size up or down accordingly.

You might also want to analyze material, thickness, style, manufacturer, and construction methods.
