While carpet in a kitchen isn't the most frequently used option, it can be a practical one in certain circumstances. The key is to select the appropriate type with the ability to be stain resistant, water repellent and conducive to heavy foot traffic.
The carpet industry has developed some very stylish low-pile carpeting. What you should look for are the carpets that have a really tight pile.
When you go to a carpet showroom to check out what's available, push your fingers into the sample and see how much the fibers move. The pile should be short and firm with very little movement. Keep letting your fingers do the walking, so to speak, testing all the options. The tighter the weave the better.
For a kitchen where stains and damage are eventual and inevitable, I'm recommending you check into carpet tiles. Tiles come in various sizes but commonly come in 18- to 24-inch squares.
The design or pattern of each tile would allow for either a seamless look or a checkerboard look, depending on your preference. Installation is easy. Peel off the backing and stick down into place.
A major advantage of the carpet tiles is that if you do end up with damage or a really bad stain you can pull up the bad area and replace it with another one from the stored stack of leftover tiles. Be sure you have a few extras as back-up for just such a situation. Replacing them is - sorry, I have to say it - a piece of cake.
