Although Dakota Johnson’s green kitchen cabinets often catch the media’s attention, many design experts have noted that the actress stands out even more for her bold use of rugs in culinary spaces, a technique considered controversial.

According to Homes & Gardens, this unusual approach transforms the kitchen in a surprising way, bringing coziness and style to a room that is usually functional and utilitarian.
In kitchens, where splashes and spills are inevitable, the idea of using rugs may seem impractical. However, this technique has gained followers among renowned designers, including the duo Piece & Ward, responsible for Dakota Johnson’s kitchen. According to Homes & Gardens, the rug chosen by the actress covers almost the entire space between the cabinets, functioning almost like a carpet and giving this environment a rare sense of warmth.
Experts highlight that, although this practice requires care and maintenance, it is one of the most effective ways to transform a “clinical” kitchen into an inviting space. Homes & Gardens reinforces that, with attention to detail, this technique can make the space warmer and more harmonious, similar to an extension of the living room.
Among the professionals who advocate this idea is Claire Garner, director of the Claire Garner Design Studio. According to Homes & Gardens, she states: “A rug in the kitchen adds color, texture, and a sense of coziness to a space that can sometimes feel cold or utilitarian. The trick is to choose a practical model, such as low-pile or flat-weave rugs made from natural fibers like wool or cotton. Alternatively, one can opt for styles that work both indoors and outdoors and are easy to clean.”
For those who want to try the trend without committing as much as Dakota Johnson, Claire suggests smaller alternatives: “A rug along the prep area or in front of the sink works perfectly. Small patterned rugs can define breakfast nooks, using subtle patterns or neutral, warm tones that complement the flooring and cabinets, keeping the kitchen cozy and functional,” she explains, as reported by Homes & Gardens.
With the arrival of autumn and the colder months, the idea of incorporating rugs in the kitchen, inspired by Dakota Johnson’s kitchen, is solidifying as one of the most elegant and practical trends for those who want to combine comfort, style, and personality in the heart of the home.
