Yea or Nay on this rug?

9 years ago

The renovation is complete and my ability to make decisions OR see things with a fresh eye is completely kaput. I would like a rug in front of my sink/dishwasher area to catch drips. I hate having splashes on the floor that then get tracked around the kitchen. I ordered this Dash and Albert rug and was so excited about it, but now that it's here I'm not sure what I think. So what do you say? Yes or no?

    agree looks like a trip hazard, but if you are young and won't break your hip readily I think it looks good.

    If it's made from a woven cotton fiber? it will be hard to keep clean.

    It is not cotton, it is an indoor/outdoor rug form Dash & Albert. Heard many, many great reviews and hoping it's all it's cracked up to be!

    I show you this not because I think this runner works for your kitchen but to show you the Flor tile product. It's really practical for a kitchen and not a trip hazard at all. They have options that are striped, patterned, solid. This one called reoriented would look great in your kitchen....

    Forgot the first link to show a flor tile runner in the kitchen (again, not the style for your kitchen)...

    Are the Flor tiles washable? I have to have a washable rug for the kitchen. Just asking.

    The colors are nice, but it does look like it could be more colorful if you wanted that. Here are a few of the rugs we have added in our designs to give you an idea.

    I agree the rug may be a little large for space.

    I feel like it is good but not best. I would go with something that coordinates a bit more with your backsplash and countertop(s) more...but that's just me. Something with colors similar to this one:

    (granted this price tag is outrageous but I think the color scheme, pattern and hues would play well with your backsplash, countertop(s), floors and window shade.)

    Hope this helps!

    Yes the flor tiles are washable. You can rinse them in the sink and leave in the sun to dry. Very practical for a kitchen.

    Not a fan of rugs on the kitchen floor

    I think maybe it would be easier to go with a flat color that matches the countertops, like in this photo. The one in this photo may stand out as too dark against the wall tile or match well with the wall paint on the rest of the house (I noticed in the 2nd photo it appears you have a similar one in the background, through the doorway)

    Ew. Don't like rugs in a kitchen or bath. They are germ trappers. I've always had wood floors in my kitchen and they are a snap to keep clean. "Drips" are easily wiped up. Don't like the look of the rug either. Sorry.

    It would be more of a trip hazard if it was narrower.

    I like the rug but is too short

    No rugs in a kitchen. It's a trend that makes no sense. It's not good for safety or sanitation.

    I love rugs that cover the sink to dishwasher drip zone. The rug looks great. It feels like it has the right tone for your kitchen.

    Dash & Albert indoor/outdoor rugs are workhorses in the kitchen & bath- I've had their runners in my kitchen forever. You can hose them outside if wine or tomato spills, they vacuum nicely & they are affordable so when you tire of the pattern you can try another. Get a rug pad for underneath- it will lay flat after a little wear.
