Meal prep in the kitchen can be a long process, and inevitably you’ll start to realize that your back and feet need some extra support. A rug is an essential item in the kitchen that can be overlooked in the design process as you may be too busy picking out appliances, cookware, and everything in between. But remember, layering a rug can provide you with the support you’re missing. Furthermore, it’s a seamless way to add a fun color or pattern to your space.
The best kitchen rugs can also quite literally ground a kitchen and catch any messes that come its way. You see, our recs are able to do everything from absorbing water spills from that farmhouse sink to keeping food scraps off your floors. And the reason why we’re not worried about these messes is because everything from our list ahead is washable and works indoors and outdoors, too—meaning they can take extra wear, tear, and spills with ease. All in all, the functionality in design is unmatched. Trust us, your kitchen will never be the same.
