Christmas Kitchen Rugs You'll Love

Christmas is a time to come together with loved ones. If you're like us, you'll spend much of your time in the kitchen. Kitchens are high-traffic areas, and the bustle of holiday activity means you'll need a little cushioning under your feet. Your friends or relatives might be in the market for home decor ideas. Christmas kitchen rugs are a good idea for your kitchen, but they make great gifts for your loved ones.   

First, you'll want to ensure that you have a washable rug. If you can't wash it, it'll get worn quickly in the spill-intensive atmosphere of your kitchen. That means you'll have to spend much money on another rug.  

Some rugs can only be washed by hand, which can be inconvenient, labour-intensive, and time-consuming. However, if the material is resistant to stains, such as a chenille-polyester blend or pure polyester, it can stand up to red wine stains.

Your next step is to find a rug pad that fits your rug's measurements. Rug pads are designed to keep your rug from slipping on the floor, and they come in various materials depending on the surface they'll be on. PVC or rubber-backed felt pads are your best bet for a slippery kitchen floor. They'll also keep feet from getting scratched. We've used both of them before, so we can say they'll do wonders. If you're getting them as a gift, let the recipient know they should be rotated every three months. 

Next, a good kitchen rug will be produced as low and nylon piles. Any piling greater than 0.25 inches makes a rug much harder to clean. 

Once the technical respects are figured out, you should look at styles and shapes. 

Since this is a Christmas gift, you can choose festive colours like dark greens, reds, or pinks to blend with the season. Creams and off-whites fit well if your loved ones want a snowy winter theme. 

On the other hand, they may prefer a traditional accent rug or print with geometric patterns. Ask them what they want before choosing.

The only place a rug doesn't belong in a kitchen is underneath your kitchen table. It's the most likely place to see spillage from food and beverages, so you'll clean it often. You can put one there if you care about your home decor.  

From smaller rugs the size of a standard floor mat to large rugs covering the whole kitchen, we have plenty of great gift ideas for making someone's Christmas special. So shop our washable rugs and give someone a holiday to remember.
