Do you have rugs in your kitchen?

I like to have a little door mat type rug in front of my stove, sink and garage door. I change them out seasonally like now they are Christmas rugs. I also have one in front of the front door. We have tile floors so this helps to keep the floors cleaner. Do you have small rugs on the floor?

I have rugs all through the house, in a vain effort to keep it warm. This is a rented house, and has tile floors throughout. It's great in summer, really cool. But in winter it is ice cold and having something underfoot makes a real difference. Every day I have to shake them all outside and sweep the house through. Then when the weather is bright enough to dry them I stick them throught the washing machine. The only room I DON'T have rugs is the kitchen. I find that I've forever tripping over them, so it's safest not to have them somewhere where there's hot pans about.

We are having a hard time keeping ours down cause of Shilo who won't leave them alone. Nothing is sacred when it comes to that dog.

Hi sweet! Yes, I do have rugs on the floor in my kitchen by my stove and sink. And you gave me a good idea! I should look for some Christmas ones! I never really think about changing them. I only look to change them and make sure that they match the colors in the kitchen! I am actually waiting for my landlord to give me a new kitchen floor which is taking forever! I use the rugs to hide the really bad stains under those spots. If I see some cut Christmas ones I will pick them up! Thanks for the idea!

I have a full throw run in my kitchen where between my stove, sink and refrigerator because I have a while tile floor and I find the rug keeps the floor cleaner. I do not change it for the season because it is 8' X 5' and I have to make a cut out around the refrigerator. I do have small throw rugs in each entry way of the house. I have five doors going in and out of my house. The rugs sure pick up a lot from coming into the house.

Yes, I have several cotton throw rugs in the kitchen, in front of the refrigerator, sink, and chopping block. There is another one at the entry. They are comfortable and keep my feet warm, as I never wear shoes at home.

I like the way it makes the space look so homey. I rarely wear shoes at home either.
