The Long Kitchen Rug: elegance and stretched functionality
The long kitchen rug creates a clear line that guides your steps and structures the room in a single gesture. By extending along the linear or between the sink and the island, it protects a large floor area, reduces fatigue when standing and creates a comfortable visual corridor. Its elongated format makes it easier to go back and forth between rinsing, cutting and cooking; you work faster, you feel more stable, and the kitchen immediately looks neater. Choosing a long kitchen rug means gaining comfort, cleanliness and consistency, without sacrificing style. 🧑🍳
Why an elongated format changes everything
In a long kitchen, the long kitchen mat connects key areas and absorbs splashes along the entire path. In front of a shelf, it accompanies every movement: removing vegetables, rinsing, slicing, seasoning. The non-slip base stabilizes footing even when the tiles are wet, while the textile or vinyl surface absorbs pressure underfoot. The result: fewer slips, less strain on the lower back, and more fluid movement. Visually, this elegant strip serves as a guide; it lengthens the perspective and highlights the splashback, fronts, and low lighting.
💡 Quick measuring tip
Unroll a piece of masking tape in the desired location: cabinet width + 2–3 cm margin, length covering the sink and preparation area. Live this "print" for 24 hours and check the opening of drawers, dishwasher and doors. If everything remains smooth, the size is correct.
Major advantages
- Extended coverage : protects along the length and prevents a succession of small, disjointed mats.
- Continuous design : elegant line that guides the eye and clarifies the kitchen route.
- Extended comfort : softer contact under the foot, ideal for intense sessions.
- Enhanced stability : non-slip base that limits slipping near the sink and hotplates.
- Easy maintenance : quick cleaning, shorter drying time, surface that stays clean.
Sizes and placements that work
The right long kitchen rug covers the area without obstructing movement or openings. For a small sink, a short length is sufficient; for a linear one, choose a length that connects the sink and countertop. In front of an island, a generous model follows the path all the way around and avoids repeated traces.
| Configuration | Recommended format | Investment | Desired effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small sink | 40–50×80–100 cm | Centered under the tank | Targeted protection, dry soil |
| Linear sink + plan | 40–60×150–200 cm | From the center of the sink to the cutout | Continuous support on the active area |
| Kitchen in the hallway | 50–60×200–240 cm | Parallel to the furniture, free edges | Softened visual corridor, fluid gestures |
| Around an island | 60×200 cm or two matching rugs | Aligned with the song of the island | Clear path, protected ground |
Materials, feel and fit
Polyester dries quickly and retains its colors; acrylic offers a soft feel and good resilience; woven vinyl cleans in one go after vigorous cooking. Regardless of the fiber, choose a non-slip rubber or TPR base for grip and braided edges for stability. For long cooking sessions, a long kitchen mat with thin, cushioning foam reduces pressure on the knees and lower back. If you have underfloor heating, opt for a thin base that lets the heat through.
💡 Pro investment tip
Align the rug to the "edge" of the furniture rather than the tiles: the eye reads the line of the furniture first. Leave 2–3 cm of air space on the baseboard side to avoid trapped moisture and make cleaning easier.
Quick maintenance, clean result
A long kitchen rug stays spotless with a few simple steps. Vacuum once or twice a week to remove crumbs and fine dust. Immediately dab stains (oil, sauce, coffee) with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the rug is washable, use a short cycle at a low temperature, then dry flat, away from a direct heat source. Before replacing it, make sure the sole is completely dry to restore maximum grip.
⛔ Don'ts
- Do not stick the carpet against the baseboards: leave a border of air to avoid humidity.
- Do not install on a greasy floor: degrease before the first installation, otherwise the adhesion will decrease.
- Do not use boiling water or strong solvents: the sole may stiffen and lose its grip.
Easy harmonies and visual rendering
For a soft ambiance, combine a sandy tone with light oak and an ecru splashback. For a graphic look, pair a charcoal/ivory geometric pattern with black handles and a mineral countertop. In a very bright kitchen, choose a long kitchen rug a half-tone deeper: glare is reduced and the design remains legible. In a dark kitchen, a light background with fine lines reflects the light without losing the elegant line of the rug.
Ready to take action?
Measure your shelf space, simulate the footprint, and select the fiber based on your usage. A well-chosen long kitchen rug makes movements safer, supports softer, and the room more pleasing to the eye. To compare textures, sizes, and finishes, explore the Kitchen Rug collection and find the model that truly complements your daily life. 🍽️
Aim for 160–200 cm to cover the sink and cutting area without blocking drawers. Leave 2–3 cm of air space on the baseboard side.
Yes, with a non-slip base. Degrease the floor before the first installation and quickly wipe up any standing water to maintain grip.
Depending on the model: Many allow for a short cycle at low temperature. Dry flat and replace when the soleplate is completely dry.
A long mat clarifies the path and provides additional protection. Two short mats are useful if you have doors/drawers that open frequently; place them in a coordinated pattern.
Yes, but choose a thin, breathable sole. Avoid very high temperatures when starting and follow the model's instructions.
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.
