Since 1921: Your expert for hand-knotted oriental rugs
Kitchen rugs and runners need to work as hard as the room itself — offering comfortable standing cushioning, easy-clean practicality, and a splash of colour or pattern that lifts the look of one of the busiest, most used spaces in any home.
The kitchen is the heart of every home, but it is also a high-traffic zone prone to spills, heat, and moisture. Choosing a premium kitchen rug is not just about aesthetics; it's about adding a layer of comfort for your feet during long hours of cooking and protecting your floor from wear and tear. A high-quality carpet or runner can instantly warm up a space filled with hard surfaces like stone, tile, or wood.
Many people mistakenly believe that synthetic rugs are better for kitchens. However, synthetic fibers often melt when exposed to high heat and trap grease odors permanently. Our hand-knotted wool kitchen rugs are naturally superior because wool contains lanolin, which creates a natural barrier against liquids.
If you spill water or drop food, the liquid beads on the surface of a wool rug, giving you time to wipe it away. Furthermore, wool is naturally flame-resistant, making it a much safer option for a room where high heat and open flames are present.
Most modern kitchens feature an island or a "galley" layout, making the kitchen runner rug the most popular choice. A long runner placed between the island and the main countertop provides a cushioned path where you stand the most. It also helps elongate the kitchen, making smaller spaces appear larger and more organized.
For those who prefer a low-profile look, a Kitchen Kilim is the ideal solution. Since Kilims are flat-woven and have no pile, they offer several advantages for a culinary space:
In a kitchen, a sliding rug is a major hazard. Our hand-knotted rugs are heavy and dense, ensuring they stay in place better than lightweight alternatives.
We always recommend a high-quality rug pad to ensure the rug remains anchored on slippery tile or polished wood floors.
Warm tones like terracotta and ochre make a kitchen feel inviting. A vintage kitchen rug with a faded pattern is excellent for hiding daily wear.
Introducing a designer rug is the perfect way to add color to a room dominated by stainless steel and neutral cabinets.
Keeping your kitchen carpet clean is simple. A quick vacuum once or twice a week removes dust and crumbs. For spills, use a damp cloth with mild, pH-neutral soap; wool's natural oils prevent stains from setting quickly. Occasionally hanging your rug outside in the fresh air is a great way to naturally deodorize the fibers and keep them fresh.
