Kitchen Runner Rugs For Sale

Choosing a Kitchen Runner

Size

Most kitchen runners are about 2.5 to 3 feet wide and 6 to 10 feet long. Leave a few inches of floor on each side, and stop the runner short of cabinets and doors so they open freely. In a galley kitchen, a single long runner usually looks best; with an island, center the runner on the work area. See Choosing the Right Rug Size.

Material

  • Wool: naturally resists stains and spills, and is soft to stand on.
  • Flat-weave: kilims and jute runners are low and easy to clean around.
  • Busy patterns: allover and tribal designs hide everyday crumbs and splashes.

Care

Use a non-slip rug pad, blot spills right away, and vacuum regularly. For more ideas, see kitchen rugs and hallway runners.
