No matter what style your kitchen falls into, your rug can complement your existing color scheme with matching colors or insert a new hue into the room. This modern kitchen brings in an element of boho elegance with the youthful print, but the rug also presents a brand new color not seen anywhere else in the kitchen. Your rug is a great place to introduce and play with color in both small and large kitchens.
Kitchen area rugs can tie into nearby rooms and spaces through their designs and color palette. Like this kitchen, you can use the same general color in various shades and intensities to create unique statements. While the rug uses a very muted green, the island chairs and other green accents are all bolder. Even with these differences in shade and tone, the greens all tie together to create a cohesive room.
Coastal design frequently uses blue hues to create a calming atmosphere. You can use blue elements in your rug alongside another hallmark of coastal style: texture. Braided rugs or other textured blue rugs can all further develop your room's tone and add a visually appealing, distinctive design.
Both traditional and modern kitchens feature neutral tones with black, white, grey, and beige. While you may choose to add colorful accents with rugs, curtains, plates, and other decor, you can also further develop the room's neutral color scheme in these areas. With that, you can solidify the room's tone in a new medium and material.
Even the most contemporary kitchens can benefit from oriental and ornate area rugs. Rugs like this elegant runner can tie into other hues in the kitchen, but it can also serve as the defining accent of the room. Runner rugs with frayed edges are ideally suited to help define that tone and add a new, interesting texture to the room.
Between the oversized lights, vibrant backsplash, and fury chairs, this kitchen has a highly eclectic style. When creating an eclectic style, your rug may feature a bold geometric print, an abstract design, a traditional pattern, or some other style to suit your unique style. The rug can also reinforce the room's color scheme or add in a completely new tone to show off your personality.
When choosing a rug for the kitchen, consider both functionality and visual balance. Small kitchen carpets and kitchen runners are often stationed by sinks, stoves, or ovens, since these are areas where you frequently stand still and want a comfortable texture. Since these areas are great focal points of the kitchen, it makes sense to choose a rug that fits that area's size, practicality, and style.
Large, open kitchens and kitchens that open to nearby rooms often feature a singular area rug to define the room and infuse comfort into the room. In these cases, the rug can be centered within the middle of the room itself for optimal balance. Stylistically, it can also connect to other rugs like a doormat or a rug in a neighboring room to create a consistent, beautiful style in your home.
At first glance, you may not see the tan rug atop the warm wood kitchen floor. However, just because the rug isn't standing out does not mean that it was poorly chosen or misplaced. Including a subtle rug in your kitchen can help reinforce the tone of the room, add in a soft walking area, and present a subtle texture in your modern kitchen.
Open concept kitchens, dining rooms, and living spaces typically tie together with their spacing as well as color scheme. Like this kitchen, you may choose to use a rug to encapsulate the entire room's color palette and neatly tie one area to the next. Your rug can even serve as the inspiration for your room's color palette and style.
Rugs should be chosen for your specific kitchen's size and layout. With that, you'll often find that runner rugs and other area rugs are placed so that they are directly in the middle of a pathway or parallel to a line of cabinets. It is standard practice to have some space between the rug's sides and cabinets so that the room does not feel cluttered and the rug is properly proportioned to the space it's in.
Runner rugs are often used in tandem to complement larger kitchens and provide comfort to key areas. This transitional kitchen's runners are perfectly placed to form practical walkways and standing areas, but they also visually balance the kitchen's layout and island. To further perfect that balance, this room uses identical rugs of the same design, color, and length.
Your rug can exemplify your entire room's style and color palette in one concise piece of decor. The transitional kitchen shown here has a very limited color palette of cream, white, and grey, as does the rug. In addition to that, the rug uses clean lines to match the kitchen's linear design and straight edges.
Extra long, custom runner rugs are ideally suited to accent long corridors and narrow galley kitchens. In this custom modern home, the rug extends from the home's entryway into the heart of the kitchen. Not only does this effectively tie the spaces together physically, but it also naturally guides guests to the heart of the home.
Many of today's modern minimalist kitchens can benefit from bold kitchen area rugs and runner rugs. These rugs can break away from the sometimes cold nature of minimalism by adding a new color, an intricate pattern, and soft texture to the room. Since minimalist kitchens are so simplistic, your kitchen's rug is a fantastic area to showcase your personal aesthetic.
Modern kitchens and spaces often use a limited, monochromatic color scheme to create a dramatic space. Rugs in these rooms can simply fit into that color palette, introduce a new bold color, or subtly add a soft color to the room. That final approach is used in this modern kitchen to add warmth to the room without taking away from the dramatic monochromatic scheme. When it comes to kitchen rugs, you can go as bold or as subtle as you choose with designs and colors.

Although orange may not be featured anywhere else in this custom kitchen, the orange rug is still a great addition to the room. This is because the warmth of the orange directly connects to the warm wood tones of the cabinets, which have some reddish orange hues in their grain. Although those connections may go unnoticed or undefined, they have a great impact in defining the tone of the room and creating a cohesive space. You may similarly approach colors and tone in your kitchen to set the proper tone.
Since kitchens are such functional, used spaces, it's vital to choose a rug properly suited for the room. Flat weave rugs or flat vinyl rugs are two of the most popular options for kitchens, since they add style in their thin construction. Because these rugs do not have high piles or thick matting, they are less of a tripping hazard in this highly traversed area.
Rustic kitchens often utilize traditional persian, oriental, and overdyed rugs to create a very homey space. The colors of these rugs may infuse woodsy charm with forest greens and grey, or they may lean into a brown color palette with moody brown and dark beige tones. In any case, there is great potential with using rugs in classic rustic kitchens.
If you’re ready to get on board with this trend and try some of these kitchen rug ideas for yourself, try starting with an easy-to-clean runner or a vintage-style rug under your kitchen table. It’s hard to go wrong with classics like these, and you’ll be surprised at the difference it makes in your home. Just remember to find a rug that fits the color palette and style of your space so you can bring your kitchen’s beauty to life!
