Most kitchen rugs are printed while others are plain rugs. Common prints for kitchen rugs are fruits, flowers and some country inspired designs. Geometrical and abstract designs can also be found in some rugs for the kitchen. They are usually placed at the foot of the sink, the refrigerator and other places where water or any other liquid might spill. Other places where rugs might be placed in the kitchen are doorways and the table area.
Kitchen rugs are usually supplied with some sort of rubber or plastic backing that prevents it from slipping. The backing can be integrated into the rug itself or bought for the express purpose of preventing the rug from sliding around when trod on. The danger of the rug slipping is an accident for the person stepping on it. This is a common accident that can occur when the rug is not properly anchored to the floor with a backing material.
Kitchen rugs are essential items for the home kitchen. They not only add color and beauty to the kitchen but also serve a practical purpose.
