Add Warmth and Style with Braided Kitchen Rugs

If you want the heart of your home to feel warm and welcoming, braided kitchen rugs will do the trick. These beauties have a rich history, and most are inspired by Native American weaving techniques. They then started popping up in American colonies between the 1500s and 1600s, made from fabric and cloth scraps. And today, they're famous around the world for their durability and versatility.

If you're excited to start shopping for braided kitchen area rugs, we hope you'll enjoy our selection from American Classics, Colonial Mills, Capel, and many other trusted brands. With hundreds of options to choose from, we're confident that you'll find something you love, no matter your style.

Using Braided Kitchen Rugs

Rugs in the kitchen work well to cover up old floors, add much-needed padding to workstations, and introduce a pop of color to soften the space. And braided kitchen rugs create a classic, inviting feel while providing thick padding and easy-to-clean surfaces; that last part is essential.

Kitchen rugs are subjected to messes, spills, and excess moisture. From food falling off the cutting board to tipsy dinner guests, messes in the kitchen are inevitable. That's the great thing about braided kitchen area rugs. These beauties don't have a traditional pile for bits of food to get lost in, and they're relatively easy to clean.

Below, we've highlighted some of our favorite tips for using these charming rugs in your home. Keep reading if you'd like more inspiration.

Try Runners

If your kitchen is long and narrow, which is common in apartments, a runner rug will do the trick. But braided kitchen runner rugs aren't limited to tiny kitchens-?they also work well for padding the space between an island and counter in a larger kitchen.

Make a Small Space Feel Larger

Smaller kitchens can benefit from oval braided kitchen rugs because the rounded edges make the room appear larger. The same is true for round braided kitchen rugs. Both choices are common braided rug shapes, and they can make a huge difference in how large your kitchen looks and feels.

Think About Color

Rugs make it easy to bring color into your kitchen. You'll see several colors to pick from in our selection, so choose one that goes well with your color scheme. If you have a Hollywood glam style, black or red braided kitchen rugs might do the trick. For those with a brighter theme, check out some light green or blue braided kitchen rugs.
