2. Modern-Minimalist: Herringbone Batik Natural Rug

5. Majestic Monochrome: Maral Heriz Creme Rug

True monochrome interiors can look lackluster, but this kitchen proves when done right, all neutrals can look ultra-luxe. The Persian-style cream runner rug is the perfect fit for this space, as it stands out on the dark wood flooring and plays off the colors of the marble countertops without taking away from the overall look.
