No matter what style your kitchen falls into, your rug can complement your existing color scheme with matching colors or insert a new hue into the room. This modern kitchen brings in an element of boho elegance with the youthful print, but the rug also presents a brand new color not seen anywhere else in the kitchen.

Kitchen area rugs can tie into nearby rooms and spaces through their designs and color palette. Like this kitchen, you can use the same general color in various shades and intensities to create unique statements. While the rug uses a very muted green, the island chairs and other green accents are all bolder. Even with these differences in shade and tone, the greens all tie together to create a cohesive room.

Both traditional and modern kitchens feature neutral tones with black, white, grey, and beige.

With that, you can solidify the room's tone in a new medium and material.
When choosing a rug for the kitchen, consider both functionality and visual balance. Small kitchen carpets and kitchen runners are often stationed by sinks, stoves, or ovens, since these are areas where you frequently stand still and want a comfortable texture. Since these areas are great focal points of the kitchen, it makes sense to choose a rug that fits that area's size, practicality, and style.
Large, open kitchens and kitchens that open to nearby rooms often feature a singular area rug to define the room and infuse comfort into the room. In these cases, the rug can be centered within the middle of the room itself for optimal balance. Stylistically, it can also connect to other rugs like a doormat or a rug in a neighboring room to create a consistent, beautiful style in your home.
At first glance, you may not see the tan rug atop the warm wood kitchen floor. However, just because the rug isn't standing out does not mean that it was poorly chosen or misplaced. Including a subtle rug in your kitchen can help reinforce the tone of the room, add in a soft walking area, and present a subtle texture in your modern kitchen.
Open concept kitchens, dining rooms, and living spaces typically tie together with their spacing as well as color scheme. Like this kitchen, you may choose to use a rug to encapsulate the entire room's color palette and neatly tie one area to the next. Your rug can even serve as the inspiration for your room's color palette and style.
Your rug can exemplify your entire room's style and color palette in one concise piece of decor. The transitional kitchen shown here has a very limited color palette of cream, white, and grey, as does the rug. In addition to that, the rug uses clean lines to match the kitchen's linear design and straight edges.
Extra long, custom runner rugs are ideally suited to accent long corridors and narrow galley kitchens. In this custom modern home, the rug extends from the home's entryway into the heart of the kitchen. Not only does this effectively tie the spaces together physically, but it also naturally guides guests to the heart of the home.
Many of today's modern minimalist kitchens can benefit from bold kitchen area rugs and runner rugs. These rugs can break away from the sometimes cold nature of minimalism by adding a new color, an intricate pattern, and soft texture to the room. Since minimalist kitchens are so simplistic, your kitchen's rug is a fantastic area to showcase your personal aesthetic.
Modern kitchens and spaces often use a limited, monochromatic color scheme to create a dramatic space. Rugs in these rooms can simply fit into that color palette, introduce a new bold color, or subtly add a soft color to the room. That final approach is used in this modern kitchen to add warmth to the room without taking away from the dramatic monochromatic scheme. When it comes to kitchen rugs, you can go as bold or as subtle as you choose with designs and colors.
