With the trend for natural flooring such as stone, slate or ceramic tiles in kitchens the floor can become cold during the winter, especially if you walk around without shoes or slippers! Without spoiling the look and style of your kitchen there's a huge range of kitchen rugs available which are the ideal winter warmers.
Team the colour with your window blinds or curtains to bring a chic look to your kitchen and look for rugs which have been designed to take the spills of general kitchen life. If your flooring is polished tiles it may be wise to use anti-slip matting otherwise you may find yourself skating across the room!
The latest styles and designs are a far cry from the tatty looking kitchen rugs used in the past to lay on top of lino – today rugs are available in a wonderful array of plain colours or patterns to suit various interior design styles.
If you're interior design style encompasses up-cycling then why not make your own rugs? I've seen them made from old leather belts (without the buckles) and even neck-ties!
So, while you're preparing food or simply making a quick cuppa, treat yourself to a kitchen rug to help keep your feet beautifully warm this winter.
