Modern Utility Rugs

Where Utility Rugs Work Best

Nearly every room of the home benefits from the simple presence of a good looking rug and the same is true for a utility mat. Kitchens are highly trafficked spaces that especially benefit from a utility mat or a long-form utility runner rug. Runners can be found in hallways and thoroughfares too, working to establish themselves as useful accent pieces adding sophistication to the the floors. Entryways, indoors or out, are a familiar home to a utility mat as it serves to keep dirt and the elements where they belong and not traced into the house. And finally, consider a small utility mat in the bathroom in front of the vanity or the shower.

A Utility Mat For Every Style

Modern utility mats have a unique way of working their way into a number of home styles ranging from traditional to contemporary and spaces inspired by mid-century design. Mats from Chilewich carry a certain aesthetic that works well almost anywhere. From renown designer Sandy Chilewich, these mats combine highly quality materials with intricate weaves to give your floors a bit of noticeable personality. And look to a mat from the Fermob collection for a floor covering that works equally well inside and outside of the home.

Choosing The Best Utility Mat

With a goal of simple utility, these rugs are easy to add to your floors. However, you'll want to pay extra careful attention to the size of the mat and the different colors it will bring into your rooms. First, decide where you plan to place a mat: by the front door, the hallway, in front of the kitchen sink, etc. Where you need a utility rug will go a long way in helping you find the best option. Runner rugs are much longer than traditional floor mats and can serve different purposes depending on the room you're furnishing. Next, refine your choices by the colors, materials and patterns that are most appropriate for the existing decorations of your home.
