Kitchen Carpets

Kitchen carpet

One of the most important parts of every house that is used a lot is the kitchen. Some people tend to buy the same carpets for all the rooms of the house because they believe that all the carpets in the house should be in harmony. But some people prefer to use different carpets for different places. In addition to giving a very beautiful look to your home, kitchen carpets also provide comfort to the people in the home. Sometimes, housewives like to sit on a warm and soft hand-woven carpet instead of a table and chairs and do cooking tasks with ease. The kitchen rug can be the last piece to complete the puzzle of your kitchen. Even if the decoration of your home is modern, the kitchen rug is one of the most important items. In general, the rug gives a special beauty to any space.

Why is it better to buy a carpet for the kitchen?

Buying a kitchen rug will be one of your best decisions. The kitchen is the place where the people of the house, especially women, spend most of their time, as a result, using a suitable floor covering will make most people comfortable and relaxed. Handmade carpets make the kitchen floor soft and comfortable. Also, using a carpet in the kitchen reduces the cleaning process. For floors that are made of mosaic or concrete, the kitchen rug acts as a shock absorber and reduces the possibility of dishes breaking due to hitting the floor. Also, standing for a long time on a hard floor causes pain in the joints and legs.

Sometimes people use kilim or moquette for the kitchen, which are not recommended due to their stiffness and thinness. Handwoven carpets act as insulation and make you comfortable because of the natural wool used in them. You may see it slipping when walking on the carpet, which can be very serious in the kitchen. For this reason, handwoven carpets, which are usually heavier than other floor coverings, can easily solve the problem of carpet slipping.

Features of kitchen carpet

The kitchen is one of the busiest parts of every house. Cooking takes place in the kitchen, dishes are washed there, meals are usually served in the kitchen, each of these activities makes the suitable carpet for the kitchen different from the carpet in other areas. If we make a wrong choice for the kitchen carpet, we may suffer financial loss and have to replace it in the near future. The kitchen carpet must have other features in addition to its attractive appearance, which we will briefly mention below so that you can choose the best kitchen carpet by considering the necessary features. These features include:

It is resistant to washing and does not lose its quality due to washing.
The kitchen carpet should absorb moisture well.
Be resistant to stains.
It should look beautiful and harmonious with the decoration of the kitchen.
The size of the carpet should be smaller than the kitchen space.
It should have appropriate piles, high-pile carpets like shag are not suitable for the kitchen.
Gives a good feeling when walking.

What is the right type of kitchen carpet?

The kitchen carpet must be of high quality to be resistant to stains and humidity. For the reasons we mentioned earlier about the kitchen carpet, choosing hand-woven carpets with natural fibers is a better option than machine-made carpets. Handwoven carpets are softer and warmer, and are much more beneficial for the health of the bones of the feet. But they have a higher price than machine-made carpets. If it is possible for you financially, we definitely recommend buying a hand-woven carpet.

Some people may believe that the kitchen carpet needs a lot of washing due to the traffic, and the car carpet is washed faster. But the point is that wool absorbs dirt more slowly due to its inherent property, and for this reason, the number of times it needs to be washed is less than that of a machine-made carpet. In addition, hand-woven carpets shine like the first day with every wash, while machine-made carpets lose their luster and softness after a few years of use.

If you choose hand-woven carpets for the kitchen, we recommend using short-pile carpets so that garbage does not get caught in the piles. Hamadan carpets, Qashqai carpets and Arak carpets are the best options as kitchen carpets. Also, despite the fact that kilims do not have piles, they are not suitable for this task because they are light and slide easily on the kitchen floor. It should be noted that you should avoid buying high-density carpets such as Tabriz carpets and Isfahan carpets and Qom all-silk carpets for the kitchen because they are highly sensitive and not affordable.

What color kitchen carpet should we buy?

When choosing a kitchen carpet, it is better to pay special attention to its color. Since the kitchen is the place where cooking is done, there is a greater chance of the carpets getting dirty. Light colored carpets are easily stained. If the color of your carpet is light, spices such as turmeric or saffron may be poured on the carpet and it will turn the carpet yellow, which cannot be removed from the carpet so easily! In the same way, it is better that the color of the kitchen carpet is dark. Colors like navy blue, red and brown are suitable colors for the kitchen carpet. These colors, while not too dark, do not get dirty easily. Choosing a dark color may be separate from the space and decoration of the kitchen, but this contrast gives more effect to your kitchen.

Arrangement of the kitchen carpet

The kitchen is the heart of every house. With a little attention, you will find that the carpet is very important in the arrangement of the kitchen. For this reason, you should choose a suitable carpet for this part of the house. The principles of the arrangement of the carpet in the kitchen are:

Choose a kitchen rug smaller than the dimensions of the kitchen.
Avoid placing the carpet under heavy appliances such as refrigerators, gas stoves, and cabinets, because it will cause the carpet to be crushed. It is better to keep it 25 to 30 cm away from the edge of the cabinets.
