WHAT IS THE POINT OF A KITCHEN RUG RUNNER?!

Rug runners warm up a kitchen that is full of hard surfaces (cabinets, tile, wood flooring, counters)! They also add some color and texture … and are WAY cozier underfoot! Runners also look great in long hallways and on wood stairs!

The good news is that runners are very inexpensive compared to area rugs! All of the rug runners I chose are great prices … which is good because they do get stained over time (think spaghetti sauce boiling over) and need to replaced. I’ve replaced my gray kitchen runner twice with the EXACT same rug … because I love it that much!

Two design tips: (1) pattern hides stains … so go with a pattern! (2) make sure to add a non-stick rubber pad under your runner! 

5 TRENDING RUNNER RUGS

1 | Remember how I said I’ve replaced my runner twice?! Well … this is the rug (below)! Actually, I have it in gray but I LOVE this deep Indigo scroll tile rug! The quality of this rug is amazing and it’s a great price point! It’s a wool rug so there IS minimal shedding, but I don’t find it bothersome at all!

2 | I absolutely adore this colorful patterned rug runner and think it would look AMAZING in a white kitchen! The dark green is such a stunning contrast to the golds and pinks in this beautiful runner!
