Protect and beautify your sink area with our Kitchen Sink Mat
Around the sink, water, suds, and heavy utensils put a strain on the floor every day. The Kitchen Sink Mat provides a simple and elegant solution: it catches splashes, cushions pressure, limits slipping, and adds a decorative touch that matches your furniture and splashback. Its soft textile surface protects your feet while washing dishes, while its non-slip base keeps the mat firmly in place, even when the tiles are wet. Discreet but decisive, a Kitchen Sink Mat transforms the washing area into a clean, stable, and pleasant corner. 🚰
What this rug around the sink changes
The area becomes safer, quieter, and better organized. By trapping drops and small splashes, the Kitchen Sink Mat protects the floor and prevents the "ice rink" effect after rinsing. The textile surface reduces pressure underfoot, making washing up and preparing dishes less tiring. Visually, the strip placed at the foot of the cabinet provides a clear guide: you know where to stand, where to place the draining board, where to place a pan without fear of micro-scratches. The result: a clean, comfortable workstation that is consistent with the rest of the kitchen. 😊
Essential features
- Secure grip : rubber/TPR base that grips tile, vinyl or varnished parquet.
- Comfortable surface : soft textile or woven vinyl, pleasant underfoot and easy to wipe clean.
- Water resistance : fibers that dry quickly and tolerate repeated splashes.
- Braided edges : better hold over washes, no premature fraying.
- Decorative palette : textured solids, geometric patterns or subtle curves to match the furniture.
💡 Implementation tips
Align the mat along the axis of the sink to catch most of the drops. Leave 2–3 cm of air space between the baseboards to prevent trapped moisture. Degrease the floor before the first installation: the grip remains optimal for longer.
Recommended sizes and placements
The right size covers the contact area without obstructing doors or drawers. Measure the width of the sink cabinet, simulate it with masking tape, and experience the layout for a day. A properly sized kitchen sink mat makes your movements safer and keeps traffic flowing.
| Size | Ideal use | Placement marker | Key advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50×80 cm | Small sink, kitchenette | Centered under the tank | Targeted protection, quick drying |
| 40×120 cm | Narrow linear | Parallel to the furniture, edges clear | Ongoing support in preparation |
| 60×180 cm | Sink + worktop | From the center of the sink to the cutout area | Full comfort in the active zone |
| 80×120 cm | In front of island or entrance | Centered, free edges for movement | Clean barrier, visual reception |
| 80×160 cm | Long linear | Aligned with the edge of the furniture | Balanced support, fluid movements |
Materials & construction
Polyester offers an excellent strength/maintenance ratio: it dries quickly, retains its colors, and cleans in one go. Woven vinyl is even easier to wipe down and keeps a firm, stable grip. For extended sessions, a thin, integrated cushioning foam relieves lumbar pressure. The rubber or TPR base ensures grip on smooth surfaces. The braided edges prevent fraying and better withstand repeated rubbing from shoes and brooms.
💡 Quick maintenance tips
Blot up oil spills as soon as they occur to maintain grip. Air the rug outside for an hour after washing; the fibers will plump up and odors will fade. Rotate it every two months to even out wear.
Simple daily maintenance
Vacuum once a week to remove crumbs and fine dust. For stains, dab with a soft cloth and pH-neutral soap; rinse lightly and dry flat, away from direct heat. If your Kitchen Sink Mat is machine washable, opt for a short cycle at a low temperature. Before replacing, make sure the base is completely dry to restore maximum grip.
Safety and comfort, day after day
The non-slip sole limits the risks on wet tiles. The textile surface insulates from the cold and makes standing less demanding on the knees. With a Kitchen Sink Mat , movements are safer and more precise: rinse, drain, put away, without fear of slipping or puddles.
Mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a format that is too short , which leaves a “slippery” area between the sink and the board.
- Stick the carpet against the baseboards to avoid trapping moisture: keep a slight air gap.
- Forgetting to degrease the floor before laying it: adhesion suffers.
- Use aggressive products that harden the sole: prefer a neutral pH.
Easy Style & Harmonies
For a softer feel, pair a solid sand color with light oak fronts and an ecru splashback. For a graphic look, choose ivory/charcoal patterns that complement black handles. For a warm feel, opt for terracotta semicircles, linen tea towels, and aromatic herbs on the windowsill. The golden rule: a short palette, a touch of accent, and the Kitchen Sink Mat as a clear background that ties everything together.

Yes, the non-slip sole adheres to the surface. Degrease the floor before the first installation and wipe up any standing water to maintain grip.
Depending on the model: Many can be run on a short cycle at low temperature. Dry flat and replace when the soleplate is completely dry.
Yes, by choosing a thin base that allows heat to pass through. Avoid excessively high temperatures at start-up.
Straighten by hand, clean and dry the floor area, then reposition. Applying light weight for a few minutes helps to flatten it.
40×120 cm is suitable for narrow shelves. To cover the sink + cutting area, 60×180 cm provides continuous support without obstructing drawers.
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.
