Bathroom Rugs

You're busy. You need to relax in a nice hot bath and let your muscles release the stress of too many errands and not enough rest. When you step out, let it not be undone by the shock of the cold floor. Cotton or chenille, a good bathroom rug is a fine thing.

Water, water everywhere

Aside from ensuring that your tootsies are toasty after you hop out of the tub, a bathroom rug must be able to withstand the trials of much moisture. Choose a bathroom rug that has a low absorbency rate and is easily cleaned. Avoid woven fiber mats, as they are difficult to clean and slow to dry, thus creating a perfect climate for mold. Cotton and chenille are popular choices. They tend to dry out quickly and can be laundered regularly. Recently, bamboo textiles have become available to a wider market as well. Bamboo rugs are just as soft as chenille and cotton, and hold up well after multiple washings.

Oasis or art space

French country one minute and mid-century modern the next. Sound familiar? Bathroom rugs are an inexpensive way for you to switch up your environment. If that cream-colored bathroom mat is looking dreary and drab, opt for a dazzling, deep wine red. Try out a bathroom rug set for even more color. Often, it only takes a change in that splash of color at your feet to re-energize your surroundings.

So, switch out that bathroom rug and relax. Feel the soothing soft cotton tickle your toes and turn on the faucet.
