Where can I find a 4 x 9 rug for my kitchen?

6 years ago

When I need help, you guys are the best! My new tile floors are in the center of traffic and starting to show dirt. I plan to seal them, but need a 4 x 9 runner or rug. Something easy to clean. Any ideas on where I could find something like this? I can't find one that size. Or any other ideas on rug placement in this high traffic area? 5ft wide is too wide, I can do 4 or 4.8..but 5 does not fit and 9 or 10 ft long would be ideal. Thank you in advance!

I wouldn't use a rug across the whole space. Just use a long patterned runner across the sink/island area. Tiles are easier to clean than rugs.

I have a large rug in my kitchen and it's not a problem but I don't have children. Try esalerugs (they have free returns), rugsusa, Wayfair, Overstock, e-bay and amazon. With your lovely neutral kitchen I would go for a patterned red Oriental rug which won't show dirt. If you get polypropylene you can take it outside, clean it and hose it off.

Tried to edit my original post but kept getting errors. The problem with all the "DO" rules is my room is irregular in that where the bed is is only 9'6" wide therefore the rule of the big rug is out the window - which my husband says was created and pushed by the rug industry to make you buy the more expensive rug LOL. So I'm stuck with.... 8x10 - if I turn the rug 'long ways' and fit all the way up to the headboard would leave about 9" of bare floor on the sides, stick out 3' past the foot of the bed (which is fine) and cause uneven nightstands likely to adjust, could stick felt pads under the 2 legs. 6.5x9 - would leave only 3" bare floor each side basically filling that space, leaving the nightstands free. 5x7.5 - would leave ~15" sticking out, enough to put your feet on but hardly enought to see the rug I love. May have to find another location for this rug and stick w the runners. We have limited time there as it's a vacation property we're trying to fix up to rent and wanted to have things pre-purchased. Wayfair has some fast shipping so may have to just wait and map it out w the tape.

Kitchen Island Pics Please! 4x4ft or 4x5ft, Seating on 2 Sides
Q

How many people are you planning to seat at this island? I'm asking b/c you need these minimums for island seating: 24" per person linear space Two people cannot share a corner 15" overhang of clear leg/knee space A 5'x5' island will not comfortably seat four. Expand it by a minimum of 3" (6" would be better) to get the minimum size for an island that seats four: 63" x 48" (Yes, even 3" will make a difference. Keep in mind that the 24" per seat is the minimum, not the ideal. Ideal is closer to 30" per seat.) Both island sizes (4'x4' & 4'x5') with seating on two adjacent sides will only accommodate three people: Note: The minimums are for short to average height/size people. If you and/or your family are tall, I recommend a deeper overhang with 30" per seat (but 24" per seat will probably suffice)...taller people generally take up more space overall.

Does anyone know where I can get these type of 4x4 bathroom tiles?

if they are vintage good luck! but here are some suggestions (ive been there for my three vintage bathrooms): Have you been able to pop one off and look at the back and get really lucky to see the manufacturer on the back? You may have to soak it in hot water awhile to get the mortar etc off. then look up the manufacturer on ebay. check out https://matchmytile.com/ and hope you get lucky. go to retrorenovation.com and look up vintage tile and she has many posts about finding vintage tile, including neighbors, is a stash in the basement in a box on a shelf, borrow from behind the toilet, etc.

I need a DINING ROOM Rug 9 x 12
Q

The room is coming along very well. Definitely take your time to do it right. . Are there any rug stores in your area? Especially one that might be independently owned. Often, they have a back room of rug remnants that you can purchase and they will size it and bind it for you. There is one in my area that does binding for $2/linear foot. And you don't even have to have purchased the remnant from them. You may be able to find a sisal or textured piece that fits your need as a remnant and have it cut to size. Is there a Habitat ReStore in your area? In my area, new carpet remnants are always being donated by stores. I got a new 15x15 textured remnant for $25 (had to wait and wait for the markdowns), had it cut and bound at a local rug store for $88. Sweet! Coincidentally, the rug store had donated it to Habitat when they cleared out their warehouse when the building was sold. The carpet style was still in stock and was $12/sq ft .if I had bought it from them directly. I love a bargain!!!! When you want a bargain you do have to be willing to wait for what you want and/or be flexible to know that maybe what your heart is set on is not the best thing. Stay open to possibilities. Sisal is sold by the sq. ft at rug stores.You could have an area rug made. It might get pricey but wait for a sale or maybe find a remnant. Here's a sisal wool I splurged on at the same rug store after my bargain rug. Lots of colorways available for sisal if you go that route. Also, delivery fees have gone crazy where I am so look for ways to save on that if you go local. The two rugs were far too large for my SUV so a friend and I rented a large van for $55 vs. the $175 delivery fee and brought it home ourselves.

Best if you need an odd size rug to take a stock wool carpet and have it bound to the size you want. Wool will clean well for you. However I agree with CALIDESIGN in this application I have used runners

4 x 9 is a size that you'd have to have custom-cut. I agree with cali above that a runner, which is often 2.5 - 2.8 wide and 8, 9, 10 or 12 feet long, would be nice.

Start here and see of you find any you like. Many are 40% off.

You could also try Flor carpet tiles. They attach to each other, not to the floor. It was a great solution to my problem of needing an odd size for our kitchen. https://www.flor.com/

They wash up easily with a hose.

it has been suggested to buy a few extra tiles in case one gets damaged.

eBay has great Turkish carpets from a variety of sellers in all sorts of odd sizes.

You can also buy any bigger rug and take it to a carpet binding place to have them cut it down ans bind the edges. I did a 3.75 x 6.5 ft rug this way and it cost around $110 for the edge binding. They said any carpet or tufted-style rug would be ok, but a woven or braided styles (that would fall apart when edges are cut) would have needed an additional backing applied to hold it together when cut.

I agree - check on esalerugs.com, overstock, wayfair, etc. for polypropylene runners. Don't cover the whole width, just runner width. esale's are quite narrow 2' 2", so I might look elsewhere for one 2'6" to 3'.

Poly rugs have come a long way in appearance and softness. Take them onto the sidewalk or driveway and hose it off when dirty. Nothing stains it, easy to vacuum it clean.

Where can I find a 4 x 9 rug for my kitchen?
