Oriental rugs are a stalwart of the living room, study and den. It's a look I love, (heck, my own living room has one!), but in less likely environs, the rugs are equally if not more compelling. Consider throwing a rich rug of reds and blues down in the kitchen, bedroom, even the bathroom, for a classic look in an unexpected setting. I'm using the phrase "oriental rug" in the broadest sense of the term, including Persian rugs (made in Iran), kilims and other tribal varieties. Oriental rugs are godsends for heavily trafficked areas; the rich colors and intricate patterns make them great at hiding stains. Use two around the island in a kitchen...or go for one long Persian runner in a narrow galley kitchen. The colors in the rug's pattern are a great jumping off point for accessorizing a room.

Esmaili Rugs Beyond the Living Room
While the Oriental rugs work practically anywhere, we have to say one spot we truly love a vintage rug is in a kitchen.
Small Turkish rugs and antique carpet runners can make new modern kitchen spaces feel layered and add just the right amount of texture. Embrace Oriental Rugs in Galley Kitchens & Carpet Runners for Narrow Island Spaces.
