What effect do vintage runner rugs have in blue kitchens decor?

Vintage runner rugs in warm tones like rust and ochre soften blue kitchen floors and anchor the space visually. Their textured patterns add artisan character, introducing easy tactile warmth that contrasts with sleek cabinetry. Positioned along cooking zones, these runners create inviting pathways and complement brass hardware while tying blue kitchens organically to adjacent terracotta or ochre rooms.
