The soft mix of colors that are generally neutral, but just enough touches of the blues and browns and other colors to make this easy to maintain carpet work in the middle of my kitchen 'run' between the island with sink and the wall of counter and cabinets with a big, gas cooktop. The space is exactly 48 inches wide, same as the carpet, though there is a teensy bit of give, so the carpet is not tight in the space. The 6 feet of length covers the area below the sink and dishwasher, and the stove top and working area. No spills so far. I've only had to vacuum the carpet, which is on a non-skid, thin pad. The pad is thin and lightweight, not a problem...but that makes it a bit hard to lower the carpet onto it, having to get the carpet under the overhang of cabinets. Two people are needed to make it easier to do. Not complaining. I'm very pleased and think the polyprolene fibers will easily clean when needed.
