- Unlike plain mats they don't show dirt, and are actually resistant to dirt
- They're extremely durable; made for the long haul. (If you are using your kitchen to feed an army every day, your rugs might not last a lifetime, but will endure the day-to-day traffic for years longer than other kitchen mats.)
- Oriental rugs that are old and worn can still look fabulous; and add a natural, organic warmth to balance the sometimes industrial, too utilitarian character of modern kitchens.

| pinterest.com/pin/133348838943065466 The use of the hand-knotted oriental rug makes this work area of the kitchen much more comfortable underfoot. (Certainly better than bare floors, and more attractive than mere kitchen floor-mats.) |

| pinterest.com/pin/133348838943063407 The juxtaposition of the modern, industrial strength kitchen decor with the rustic, naive assymmetries of the handmade runner puts a lot of energy in this room. And that looks like the right prescription. |

| pinterest.com/pin/133348838943063393 A well-worn, old hand-knotted oriental rug (likely used by a previous owner in some other home ) has been pressed into another tour of duty in this newly installed kitchen; and is up to the task. |

| pinterest.com/pin/133348838943063360 Absent the modern appliances, this room might have looked like this for over a hundred years. The antique, hand-knotted oriental rug could truly have been on duty here from the very beginning. On and on it goes, absorbing the imprint of years of domestic life; a quiet support for all those years. |

| pinterest.com/pin/133348838943063371 We've helped customers achieve this look with properly sized oriental rugs in the workspaces of their kitchens many times. It always looks, and works, great. |
