The Chic Kitchen Mat: elegance and functionality combined
A chic kitchen rug changes the way we experience the room: we cook more calmly, we stand longer without fatigue, and the whole thing gains in allure. Its non-slip sole stabilizes steps near the sink, its comfortable surface softens the pressure under the feet, and its refined patterns echo the facades, handles or light fixtures. Whether your kitchen is minimalist, modern country or industrial, the chic kitchen rug adds a neat touch while protecting the floor from splashes and micro-scratches. It quickly becomes a practical landmark: we prepare, we serve, we share... and we appreciate the calm it installs. 🍽️
What you will feel on a daily basis
Near the worktop, the chic kitchen mat cushions pressure while cutting, reduces knee kneading, and keeps ankles warm on cold tiles. In front of the sink, it catches drips and prevents slips. Its soft texture encourages you to cook longer, without lower back pain. Visually, the kitchen appears tidier: the mat draws a clear line that guides your steps between the sink, stovetop, and island. When the room gets busy, it absorbs some of the noise and makes interactions more pleasant.
Key Features
- Secure grip : Rubber or TPR sole grips tile, vinyl or varnished parquet.
- Comfort when walking : soft textile layer or thin integrated foam to reduce fatigue during long preparations.
- Careful design : textured solids, geometric graphics, semi-circles or chevrons for an elegant look.
- Quick care : stain and water resistant; vacuum, damp cloth or machine wash according to label.
- Durable finishes : taped edges that limit fraying, colors that last over time.
💡 Useful installation tips
Align the mat with the axis of the sink: splashes fall where it absorbs water. Leave 2–3 cm of air between the baseboards to prevent trapped moisture. Degrease the floor before the first installation: adhesion will be optimal, especially on glossy tiles.
Sizes and placements that make life easier
Measure the width of your furniture and check the opening of doors and drawers. The goal: cover the contact area without obstructing movement. Place masking tape on the floor to visualize the footprint; experience it for 24 hours. If nothing gets stuck, it's the right size. A chic kitchen rug that's too short leaves a "cold spot" between the sink and the countertop; too long, it blocks access. Aim for accuracy: comfort and fluidity. 😊
| Context | Recommended size | Investment | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small sink | 50×80 cm | Centered under the tank | Targeted comfort, dry floor |
| Narrow linear | 40×120 cm | Parallel to the furniture | Ongoing support in preparation |
| Sink + worktop | 60×180 cm | From the sink to the cutting area | Full comfort in the active zone |
| Kitchen entrance | 80×120 cm | Centered, free edges | Clean barrier, clean reception |
| Long linear | 80×160 cm | Aligned with the edge of the furniture | Balanced support, fluid movements |
Materials and construction
Polyester dries quickly, resists stains well, and retains its colors. Models with woven vinyl offer a firm surface that's ultra-easy to wipe clean. A thin foam midsole relieves pressure underfoot and makes cooking sessions more enjoyable. Rubber or TPR soles provide reliable and durable traction. If you have heated floors, choose a thin base that lets heat through. The taped edges prevent fraying and can withstand being pulled under a high table.
💡 Hygiene & speed tips
Blot up oil spills immediately to maintain grip. Air the carpet outside for an hour after heavy cleaning; the fibers will plump up and odors will fade. Rotate it every two months to even out wear in high-traffic areas.
Easy style and harmonies
A chic kitchen rug can create the perfect match or a controlled contrast. For a soft ambiance: sandy beige, light oak, matte ceramic. For a graphic look: ivory and charcoal patterns, black handles, zellige splashback. For a Mediterranean feel: terracotta semicircles, linen tea towels, aromatic plants. If the room is dark, favor light tones that reflect the light; if it's very bright, a warmer shade balances the overall effect. The important thing is to stick to a short palette and add a micro-accent via a vase, a frame, or a pendant light.
Easy maintenance
Vacuum at least once a week, without an aggressive brush. For a stain, dab immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Washable models can be machine washed on a short cycle, at a low temperature, then dried flat . Before replacing, check that the soleplate is completely dry to restore grip. Avoid boiling water and strong solvents which can harden the base.
Mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a mat that is too short between the sink and the worktop: aim for support where you are actually standing.
- Place the carpet against the baseboards : keep an air gap to prevent trapped moisture.
- Forgetting to degrease the floor before laying it: adhesion suffers.
- Clean with aggressive products : prefer neutral pH and light rinsing.

No, the non-slip sole adheres to the surface. Degrease the tiles before the first installation and wipe away any standing water for perfect adhesion.
Depending on the model: Many are machine washable at a low temperature. Check the label, dry flat, and replace once the sole is completely dry.
Yes, choose a thin base that lets heat through and avoid high temperatures during the first few hours.
50×80 cm is suitable for a small sink; for sink + preparation, 60×180 cm covers the active area without interfering with the drawers.
The inks are designed for long-lasting color retention. Gentle vacuuming and moderate washing preserve colors over time.
Rug Size Guide
Select the perfect size for your rug
A well-sized rug transforms a space: it anchors furniture, streamlines circulation, and enhances ambiance. Choosing the right size depends largely on the room, the furniture, and the space required. Use this simple, visual guide to make a confident decision.
It is essential to consider the space where the rug will be placed.
In the living room
- 2-3 seater sofa → 160×230 cm minimum. Ideal: 200×300 cm if the room allows it.
- Aim for at least the front two legs of the sofa on the carpet. Leave 20–30 cm of air space from the walls.
- In a corner configuration, go wide: the rug should extend 15–25 cm beyond the coffee table all around.
In the dining room
- Add ~60cm around the table to pull out the chairs without snagging.
- Table 160×90 → rug ~240×340 ; table Ø120 → rug Ø200 (if round, for information).
- Prefer a flat weave (chairs that slide better).
In the room
- Bed 140/160 → carpet 200×290 (or 160×230 at the foot of the bed).
- Alternative small pieces : two 50×160 runners on each side.
- Visual comfort: 60–70 cm overhang on the bed exit side.
Entrance & hallway
- Measure the net width and leave 5–10 cm of air on each side.
- Practical formats: 45×115 , 40×120 , 50×160 , 80×120 depending on the length.
- Add a non-slip rug pad for safety.

What about round rugs?
Diameter replaces length/width. Choose Ø according to the central unit:
- Bedroom or reading corner : Ø120–Ø160 under an armchair or at the foot of the bed.
- Round table : table Ø120 → ideal rug Ø200 (clearance of ~40 cm all around the chairs).
- Entrance : Ø90–Ø120 for a soft visual welcome, without obstructing the door opening.
How to measure quickly and well
The kraft (or ribbon) template
Cut out a rectangle to the target dimensions (or trace with painter's tape ) and live with it for 24 hours. Check: circulation, alignment with furniture, door/drawer clearances.
Simple rules
- Living room : 20–30 cm of air on the walls, two feet in front of the seats on the carpet.
- Dining room : +60 cm minimum all around the table.
- Bedroom : 60–70 cm overhang on the bed exit side or two 50×160 runners.
Carpet too small (“floating” effect), place a long pile under low doors (friction), forget the non-slip underlay, center it on the room instead of the living area.
This rug size guide helps you quickly select the right size for each room. Need personalized advice? Measure your area, note the width of your key pieces of furniture, and compare with the table above.
Adjust the size to the surface area of the room
Small room (< 12 m²)
Choose a rug that leaves the baseboards free (edge 20–30 cm from the wall) to avoid the “wall-to-wall” effect that visually shrinks. A 120x160 or 140x200 works well, or two 50x160 runners in “Japanese steps” for the bedroom.
Medium room (12–20 m²)
The 160×230 is a versatile standard for living rooms and bedrooms. If you have generous furnishings (corner sofa, sideboard), move up to the 200×300 to maintain balanced proportions.
Large room (> 20 m²)
Aim for a large size (200x300 or 240x340 depending on the collection) to anchor the area . In an open living room, a large rug “reads” the seating and zones things in without partitioning.
Shapes & proportions (rect., square, round, oval)
- Rectangular : the easiest to align with furniture (sofas, beds, rectangular tables). A natural choice if the room is elongated.
- Square : Perfect for a square room or a conversation area with two armchairs and a square coffee table.
- Round : softens very straight architecture, enhances round tables and reading corners.
- Oval : excellent in a wide hallway or dining room with an oval table, as it follows the flow without sharp corners.
Visual tip : Always align one side of the rug with a strong axis (edge of the sofa, edge of the bed, edge of the table). This “vanishing line” immediately calms the composition.
Living room configurations (concrete cases)
Straight sofa + 1 armchair
Objective : Front legs of the sofa + base of the armchair on the carpet. Typical size: 160×230 (compact living room) or 200×300 (standard living room).
Corner sofa (L)
Choose a rug that extends 15–25 cm beyond the coffee table and lean towards 200x300 to avoid the cramped effect under the chaise longue.
Two sofas facing each other
Choose a large size (200x300) so that each seat has at least the front legs on it. A rug that is too small “opens” a gap in the center.
Open space & zoning
In an open space, the rug serves as a functional signal : a large 240x340 rug under the living room, a 200x300 rug under the table, and an 80x240 runner to guide traffic. Keep at least 15 cm between the edge of the rug and the main passageway.
Round, rectangular or extendable table?
| Table shape | Table dimensions | Recommended carpet | Clearance around |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangular | 140×80 | 200×290 | ~60 cm for chairs |
| Rectangular | 160×90 | 240×340 | ~60 cm |
| Rectangular | 180×90 | 240×340 (or 250×350) | ~60 cm |
| Round | Ø100 | Ø180 | ~40–50 cm |
| Round | Ø120 | Ø200 | ~40–60 cm |
| Stretchable | 160→200 | 240×340 | ~60 cm (open position) |
Measure the open position of extendable tables and size your rug accordingly.
Bedroom: bed, bench and runners
- Rug under bed bench : add 20–30 cm on each side of the bench to avoid the “sitting on the edge” impression.
- Two runners : 50×160 or 60×180, placed ~10 cm from the bed, aligned at the bedside.
- Small bedroom : prefer at the foot of the bed (160×230) rather than “full under the bed”, to keep breathing space on the sides.
Corridors & Stairs
Measure the finished width, deduct 5–10 cm from each side. For the length, leave 10–15 cm free before the threshold and door. Use a non-slip underlay : essential in high-traffic areas.
Thickness, doors & maintenance
- Low doors : Beware of long-pile rugs (risk of friction). A flat weave is safer near openings.
- Maintenance : the larger the rug, the more crumbs and dust it will “eat” — plan to vacuum regularly (brush OFF on loop pile).
- Carpet underlay : improves stability, comfort and longevity (less wear from sliding).
Quick FAQ
How to convert cm ↔ inches? 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Divide cm by 2.54 to get inches (e.g. 200 cm ≈ 78.74 in).
My living room feels empty despite a large sofa. What should I do? Go from 160x230 to 200x300 or add a perpendicular runner to close off the area.
A square rug in a rectangular living room? Yes, if you create a separate reading corner (armchair + floor lamp + square coffee table).
Round table on a rectangular rug? Possible, but demanding: keep at least 30–40 cm of air space on each side of the rectangle for a balanced effect.
Can you layer two rugs? Yes, to “zone” a space. Large neutral base + smaller pattern on top (10–20 cm overlap).

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked. If you cannot find what you are looking for, do not hesitate to contact us.
How do I choose the size of my rug?
The size of your rug depends on the room and the layout of your furniture. For a living room, for example, a large rug under which all the furniture fits gives a feeling of space. A smaller rug can define a space, such as a conversation area.
Do the photos online reflect the actual color of the rug?
We do our best to make colors as accurate as possible. However, shades may vary depending on screens and brightness settings.
How do I maintain my carpet?
Maintenance depends on the carpet material . Generally, a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush used regularly and occasional professional cleaning are recommended.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship to many countries around the world. Shipping costs and times may vary depending on destination.
