We just met a new client with a beautiful kitchen.  We are helping her family to pick out a new color palette for the first floor.  While touring this family home, we noticed two mats she had placed in her kitchen, and when we asked her, she raved about how it is so much easier to stand on these instead of the bare floor tile.

She purchased them at Williams Sonoma and reports that they come in several colors.  They are called Wellness Mats and we can attest to their comfort.  If this is a concern in your kitchen, check out this product — may help to alleviate a lot of pain for those who stand for long periods on tile floors.
