The kitchen is much more than just a room for cooking. Especially these days, the kitchen serves as a fully-fledged living space. Open living space concepts with integrated kitchens are expressions of our current understanding of living atmosphere. Therefore, kitchens - whether integrated or as a separate room - should not be cold-looking preparation rooms for our daily meals. Rather, they should invite you to linger and be a place of well-being. A kitchen runner can work wonders in this context. Carpets give rooms warmth and ambience. However, choosing the right carpet for each kitchen is not that easy. Below we would like to give you tips on how you can find the perfect carpet for your kitchen.
There are many reasons for having a kitchen rug. Firstly, there is the feel-good factor. Rugs create a particularly homely atmosphere. They give surroundings that certain something. Simple rooms can become real eye-catchers thanks to a wool rug. For example, an excitingly designed Persian rug can make a subtle matt white kitchen shine in a breathtaking light.
On the other hand, carpets fulfil other functions that are valuable in a kitchen. Imagine you go into the kitchen in the morning and want to make yourself a coffee. Especially in winter, coffee warms the soul before the morning chill sets in. You stand in front of the kitchen unit and the cold of the tiles penetrates to the tips of your hair. If you were standing on a soft wool carpet, this cold would have no chance. A nice idea, isn't it?
A kitchen rug doesn't just provide pleasant warmth. It can also catch objects that would fall and damage the floor. For example, a coffee cup that falls out of your hand is not good for you or your floor. If it lands on a rug, the floor is spared, your cup is intact, and the wool rug can be wiped clean without damage or stains. At least if it is a rug made of natural fibers. But more on that later.
