Kitchen Rug Lovin’ (and a Coupon Code)!

Following a dinner party at a friend’s house over the summer, I came away a huge fan of kitchen rugs. Always one for practicality, I initially wondered, why the heck would anyone put an area rug in their kitchen? But rational aside, I knew I had to have one. Now. Design is not always practical – people spill things, drag dirt into the house and pets leave poo-poo presents where you least expect them; but the feeling of having a beautiful rug in our space and a little texture underfoot was something I was willing to try out.

Going off a lead from the girls at The Short & The Sweet of It, I dove into uHomeStores’ selection and chose this baby: the Safavieh Area Rug (3 x 5) from their Natural Fiber Collection.

It was exactly the style I loved – rustic, beachy and neutral. The price was amazing ($69!) and once it arrived, I was super impressed with its weight and quality. Unexpectedly, it also made our kitchen look bigger! Some of my other favorites:

Red + white Surya rug | Natural + black Safavieh rug | Maritime blue + white Momeni rug
