Washable Kitchen Mat: combine aesthetics and practicality
The kitchen is alive, moving, and splashing. The washable kitchen mat is designed to keep up with this pace without sacrificing style: a welcoming surface for feet, patterns that set the tone, and easy maintenance that resets everything after serving. Placed in front of the sink, at the foot of the cutting board, or facing the island, it creates a clear area that guides your movements and protects the floor. Its strength? Starting again like new after a machine wash or a quick wash, day after day. 🍽️✨
Why washable changes everyday life
A recipe that overflows, coffee that bubbles, oil that splatters: no one escapes it. With a washable kitchen mat , you act immediately, rinse, wring out, put back. The material retains its colors, the sole remains stable, and the kitchen regains its clean look in a few minutes. It's an investment that can be seen as much as it can be felt: less stress, more comfort, a room that's more pleasant to live in from morning to night.
💡 Express cleaning tip
Immediately dab sauces and coffee with a damp cloth. If the stain is greasy, sprinkle with Sommières earth for 20 minutes, vacuum, then wash on a short cycle at a low temperature.
The essential assets, in plain language
- Easy maintenance : machine or hand wash depending on the material, quick drying, clean finish.
- Durable materials : fibers that withstand drops and passages without pilling.
- Versatile design : textured solids, micro-patterns, geometries, woven effects.
- Comfort : softer support, quieter walking.
- Sustainable alternative : reusable, fewer harsh products required.
Which washable for which kitchen?
The choice of fiber guides the use. Flat weaves wash like a good tablecloth, woven vinyls wipe clean with a single gesture and accept occasional rinsing, dense polyesters provide softness while remaining easy to maintain. The braided edges and non-slip sole (TPR/rubber) ensure impeccable hold over time.
| Matter | Wash cycle | Recommended temperature | Drying | Ideal use | Strong point |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dense polyester | Machine, short cycle | 30–40 °C | Flat, fast | Prolonged standing | Soft + bright colors |
| Flat weave polypropylene | Hand or soft machine | 30°C | Open air | Intensive passages | Hold, quick drying |
| Woven vinyl | Sponge + mild soap | Without | Immediate wiping | Very active kitchen | Stain-resistant with one touch |
| Acrylic | Delicate machine | 30°C | Flat | Daily comfort | Elasticity, spring |
Formats & placements that simplify everything
The right size frames the active area without obstructing movement. In front of the sink, a 50x80 cm centered area catches drops. Along a linear length, 40x120 to 60x180 cm connects rinsing and cutting. Facing the island, align the edge of the mat with the edge of the cabinet: the line is clean, the posture stable. Always leave 2–3 cm of air along the baseboards to ventilate and facilitate cleaning.
| Scenario | Recommended size | Installation mark | Effect obtained | Trick |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In front of the sink | 50×80 cm | Centered under the tank | Dry ground, comfortable support | Micro-pattern to hide drops |
| Linear sink → plan | 60×180 cm | Parallel to the furniture | Readable trajectory | Long patterns to stretch the piece |
| In front of the island | 60×200 cm | Aligned to the song | Clean outline, visual balance | Two 60×100 if frequent drawers |
Machine washable rug
Ideal if you often cook with sauces and coffee. Short cycle, moderate spin, dry flat: ready for the next serving.
Hand washable rug
Perfect for preserving more refined textures. Sponge, warm rinse, gentle drying: impeccable finish.
Washable vinyl
Speed champion : one wipe is all it takes. Clean patterns, everyday wear, zero downtime.
Easy Colors & Matching
Sand + blond wood + stainless steel
Clay + Off-White + Matte Black
Petrol blue + walnut + brass
These combinations create a harmonious setting in the blink of an eye. A plain, textured, washable kitchen rug calms a kitchen already rich in patterns; a micro-pattern enlivens a very understated room.
🧩 Tip implemented
Unroll flat for 30 minutes, degrease the floor with warm water, dry, then lay. The corners will flatten, and the step will become softer.
⛔ Don'ts
- Avoid pure bleach and strong solvents: dull colors, weakened surface.
- Do not fold the mat for storage: roll it up to keep it perfectly flat.
- Avoid leaving long strands of hair in front of the sink: water collects there and dries poorly.
- Do not stick the carpet to the baseboards: leave 2–3 cm of air for ventilation and easier cleaning.
Simple routines to keep it looking good for a long time
Vacuum once or twice a week with a hard floor nozzle. Treat stains with a warm cloth, wash on a short cycle according to the label, and dry flat away from direct heat. Rotate the washable kitchen rug every 2–3 months to even out light and traffic. The action is quick, the result is long-lasting. 🙂

Measure your actual route, simulate the footprint with masking tape, and choose the material and pattern you prefer. To expand your selection, discover the Kitchen Mat collection and create a cohesive ensemble around your washable kitchen mat . 🌿
Check the label. Most models are suitable for 30–40°C. A lower temperature preserves the colors and soleplate.
Dry flat to avoid curling and preserve the taped edges. Do not tumble dry on vinyl.
A neutral pH soap is sufficient. Avoid bleaching and abrasives; they dull colors and attack the surface.
Run a clothes brush through the clothes before vacuuming. A micro-heathered pattern makes them less visible between washes.
Yes, if the sole is thin and breathable. Increase the temperature gradually and check the grip during the first few hours.
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.
What is the return policy?
You have 14 days after receipt to return your rug if it does not suit you. Make sure it is in its original condition and see our "Return Policy" page for more details.
