FOR THE BUSY, FUNCTIONAL SPACES
Entryway & Kitchen Rugs
High-traffic areas like entryways, hallways, and kitchens need resilient rugs or runners that can handle daily foot traffic and spills. In long, narrow kitchens, an 80cmx150cm runner can visually expand the space. For spacious kitchens without an island, a larger 160cmx230cm rug placed centrally can enhance the room’s layout and style.

How often should I rotate my rug?
