You don't want to try just doing without? I find them just something else to get in the way, get dirty and maybe trip on. My kitchen floor has held up for years without any rugs.

I love the color and warmth of rugs. I use indoor/outdoor varieties. In your space I would use a larger rug for the open area. Here are some from overstock.

I like having a rug in my kitchen for comfort and for fun. It looks like a 3x5 would fit well in your kitchen (?)

agree, a 3 by 5 in front of sink area would be nice. I like the rugs posted above, particularly the first one (with poochie) but not sure if that fits your style . I see you do have the red/orange from the outside so it might work very nicely.

I appreciate everyone's recommendations. That being said, the 3 by 5 rug, should i put it in front of the sink or where the runner is now in the same position? Thank you.

Indoor outdoor and are you opposed to color? Love this chartreuse and pattern for your kitchen space.

I find kitchen rugs to be just one more thing I have to wash and they are IMO tripping hazards. I like to add color with something on the counter instead.
