Hate looking at your kitchen floor? Then, what are you actually waiting for? Go ahead and cover those ugly tiles with the help of a carpet or a rug and make your kitchen look bright and interesting.
A rug or a Carpet will not only come in handy in hiding the ghastly floor but will also distract people from noticing other unappealing sights of your kitchen. But do make sure that you get a carpet/rug which will be easier to clean and can be simply vacuumed else you will end up spending a lot of time in just washing it.
