Consider this the part two of my previous post on the same topic, as my search continues for that perfect runner rug for my cottage kitchen. I am looking for something that's
- Stain resistant: hello, no-brainer for a high traffic area between kitchen counter and island.
- Easy to clean: I need a rug I can spot clean and quickly vacuum up when mess happens.
- Material: something that's stain resistant and easy to clean is unlikely made of natural materials such as wool or cotton. So polyester and polypropylene/cotton blend will do just fine for me.
- Cost: unlike a large area rug for living room or dining room where I splurged to make a statement, kitchen runner rug is intended for everyday abuse. To me, it doesn't make sense to spend a ton on it.
- Style: vintage-inspired of course. I am loving medallion and Bokhara patterns.
Easy peasy right? These are the eight candidates I've narrowed down to.
1. nuLOOM Traditional Geometric Herati Medallion Border Navy. This was the one I mocked up in my cottage kitchen.
2. Feizy Katari in Taupe/Castle, so far the front runner.
3. Momeni Afshar rug in copper/navy: so in love with rusty orange tones in a rug these days. It all started with this one.
4. nuLOOM Vintage Freda Floral Garden runner in pink and navy.
5. UniqueLoom Bokhara runner in grey: can you believe this is the runner version of the same Bokhara rug I love so much in my living room and my cottage dining room?
6. Mistana Blackwell Dark Blue rug: really love this one, the colours and the patterns, but I am a bit skeptical based on the reviews on Wayfair. A lot of buyers didn't find it as distressed as they hoped for.
7. Surya Harput rug in pink and navy: this is the one that's now in my basement hallway.
8. Nuloom Vintage Killian Gray Hallway Runner: this is another strong contender. It has a lot of blues and camels with a touch of pink on a soft grey background.

So which one is your favourite? Which one would you recommend for my all-white cottage kitchen?
