The Kitchen Rug: Real Oriental Rugs Are a Surprisingly Practical Solution to the Need [Photos]

There are a lot of reasons for choosing to use oriental rugs in your kitchen, and you'll find you will appreciate all of them:

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.

As you look at these pictures, consider how much each rug is doing to enhance its space.

An oriental rug in the kitchen workspace is tough
enough for the job it has to do; and makes
the choice to use it look absolutely brilliant.

A somewhat rare hand-knotted 9x9 round rug was chosen by our customers in New Hope, PA (Bucks County) for under their kitchen table to assure that the chair legs would all remain on the rug when guests were seated.

A small galley kitchen gets the big treatment (and looks so much bigger for it) by placing a lovely camel hair, hand-knotted Persian Hamadan oriental runner on the floor.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oriental Rugs and Rugged Individualism: The World at Your Feet Is An Expression of You

If you are comfortable without it, the rule-book has been tossed.

You decide where the definition is needed and what meaning is intended.

Derring-do: try it; if it looks great, who will question your boldness?

The hunger for real oriental rugs, like any appetite, can't be satisfied with one taste once the craving for a feast takes hold.

A real hand-knotted oriental rug is always ready to serve as base camp for exotic adventures at home.

The aspiration for and recognition of QUALITY is built into you; and can be found from the rug under your feet all the way up to the thoughts dreamt in your mind.

The objects we possess, or choose to have in our environment, reflect who we are.

Bucks County Oriental Rug Store, Brandon Oriental Rugs - www.BrandonRugs.com - Helps Customers Shopping for Rugs No Matter How Long It Takes

This is a picture of a group of hand-knotted oriental rugs that Brandon Oriental Rugs recently selected to help resolve (hopefully) a customer's request for a new living room rug.
[Rug-Search (tm) is Brandon's proprietary searchable database of available, and soon to be available, oriental rugs at the wholesale level from importers in the USA, Canada, Great Britain and the EU; and producers in the rug making countries along the old Silk Route.]

This is a "No hurry. Must be exact" search that dates back to October 2012, when our customer in Warminster, PA selected the rug shown below from Brandon Oriental Rugs for her dining room.

In a small home, the living room rug will be just five feet away from the edge of the dining room rug. All of the decisions for the living room will be based on the rug choice: furnishings, paint, and window treatments. Our customer's perception of color is exact and emotionally nuanced. Since choosing the rug for the dining room, she has shopped for the living room rug by herself, and with help from interior designers, at many rug stores in the metropolitan Philadelphia region; in addition to seeing (thus far) over twenty different rug ideas through Brandon.
We don't know if others are still engaged on her behalf or not. We do know that - based on the promise we made when she chose her dining room rug - we have continued looking for any rug in existence and available to us that might be of merit in resolving her search; and will continue looking until we find the ideal rug for her, or until she somehow runs into it on her own.
This is the longest, most extensive search we've ever mounted. It is unusual.Most searches are resolved by us at the first presentation; and several suppliers have counselled walking away, aware that many of the selections presented thus far were suitable solutions to the challenge. But we have a promise to keep. In fact, in the over twenty years Brandon has been a complete service for oriental rugs, many customers have been reassured to know that we keep on looking for what they are looking for until one of the following happens: we find it; they find it elsewhere; or they just give up trying to find it anywhere. Usually, we'll find it. Promise.

SOME of the other choices in the procession of rugs presented thus far for consideration:
