Bathroom Rugs
Beautify your Bathroom

Well chosen bathroom rugs add comfort to you and harmony to your bathroom for a very modest price. The following paragraphs outline the selection criteria for bath rugs

Warm Material under Your Feet

Bathing tradition goes back to ancient Rome; the Roman went to the public bath for their daily social gathering and for their pleasure. The last decades witnessed the rising sophistication and elegance in bathroom floors, walls, bath tubs, faucets and accessories. The bath rug offers a warmer and softer touch to the bare feet rather than stepping on a cold floor.

Absorb Moisture and Water Drops

As a result of bathing and douching water splashes on the floor; going out from the bathtub or shower drip water and moisture over the flooring. Wet floors present a severe safety hazard; one can easily slip over on a wet surface with adverse consequences. Moisture can also lead to the development of mould. A well chosen rug on the bathroom floor can soak in excess water to keep the floor dry.

Use Cotton or Chenille

Choose the material carefully; the material should feel good to the bare feet, should be able to absorb water and stay dry and should be easy to launder in a washing machine. Cotton bath rugs or woven chenille rugs are probably the best choice. Recently, bamboo rugs are becoming popular and might provide a different and fresh choice. In many modern bathrooms, more than one bath rug is required to cover the floor in the different areas. In this case, bath rug sets are the obvious solution

Colors and Patterns

Match the rug color to blend nicely with the overall look of the bathroom or choose vivid colors that will contrast a creamy and whitely looking bathroom. Bathroom rugs and rug sets are an inexpensive way for you to upgrade your bathing experience. Considering the low cost, more frequent replacement of bath rugs will not adversely impact the family budget.

Most hotels use reversible bath rugs. The main advantage of the reversible bath rug is the cost, the variety of colors is limited though, and usually it is one color with no patterns.
