Cheap Rugs for your kitchen

Cheap rugs are not the first thing you think of when looking at floor covering for your kitchen, but they are a surprisingly useful addition. Many years ago my grandmother had an old rag rug in her kitchen. This was really useful as the kitchen floor was made of stone and the whole kitchen was really cold. The rug helped to warm it up and as a child learning to cook in Grandma's kitchen I was very grateful for it. One disadvantage was that being in the kitchen many feet walked all over it, and because of its design it held the dirt and became really grubby, so about every year a new one had to be made, as these old fashioned rugs didn't wash well. They were cheap because they were hand made by my grandmother. Times have changed, and cheap rugs are available which can be easily cleaned and can still produce that old fashioned warm look in your kitchen.

Cheap rugs come in many designs, and you can still get shaggy rugs which emulate that old fashioned rag rug design so popular many years ago, with the advantage that they are easy to clean. Stone floors became unfashionable and were replaced by linoleum, which had a slightly warmer feel. Today's modern kitchens have a range of flooring, ranging from laminate to quarry tiles and stone. Nostalgia is a popular look and cheap rugs can really give that feel of a traditional kitchen. I like rugs with a classic pattern, which tone in with the colour on my walls, and at the moment have two matching rugs, one large cheap rug on which my pine kitchen table stands, and the other by the door. To capture the feel of the rag rugs popular in Grandma's day, I have used chenille rugs to give a similar texture.

I love the nostalgic look myself but I realise that it is not everyone's choice. To update the look slightly and give your kitchen a contemporary feel, choose cheap rugs which have an abstract design. There are some bold designs in bright colours which tone in well with the minimalist look of a stainless steel kitchen and giving a splash of colour. Swirls and squares also look good in an otherwise plain kitchen.

Don't worry about cleaning your cheap rugs in the kitchen. With modern materials they are hard working and clean up well. I cook every day in my kitchen and find that usually vacuuming my cheap rugs is enough. One little tip - vacuum both sides of your cheap rug to prevent dirt from getting deep into the rug. This will keep them looking better for longer. If there are any spills, as can easily happen in a kitchen, I wipe them up quickly and there is usually no problem. Once every six months I wash my cheap rugs, using ordinary soap and water and drying them slowly. This means my cheap rugs look as good as new afterwards, and last for many years, only needing replacing when I want to change my colour scheme.
