Bathroom Rugs, Mats and Matching Sets

A look at carpet squares, tiles, samples and more for home and commercial use

Rugs are a common furnishing that many people use to enhance the look of their home. They can be used in most areas and this includes both indoors and outdoor locations. Inside, they can be used in pretty much any room of the home and this includes the bathroom. Using bathroom rugs in your home can be both practical and stylish and because of this they are widely available.

Styles

Bathroom rugs come in a variety of styles and are typically available as individual rugs or bathroom sets. Individual rugs come in a range of styles and sizes and can be used to cover an area of floor in front of a sink or mirror or at the side of the bath. While many are plain in style and a single color, there are others that are patterned or have a design or theme on them.

There are tons of different styles, here are a few to get an idea.

Sets

A set of bathroom rugs generally has two or three rugs included. These generally comprise a contoured rug that is designed to fit around a toilet as well as one or two larger rugs which can be used in different areas around the bathroom. While it can be better to have rugs which are waterproof and can cope with being soaked, it is not strictly necessary and there are many bath mat sets in materials that are not completely waterproof.

Benefits of Rugs

There are a number of benefits to using bathroom rugs in your home with the main benefit being comfort. The bathroom is a location in the home where you can spend time in your bare feet and some floor materials can be cold to the touch, especially during the winter months. Using rugs in the bathroom can provide a warmer and softer surface on which to stand and walk and this can make it a more pleasant place to spend time. They also have the advantage of providing a non-slip surface to stand on. When the bathroom floor gets wet it can also get slippery and having a rug to stand on can make it less likely that a slip will happen. Rugs are also useful for protecting the floor beneath them and this can be another good reason to use them in the bathroom.

Availability

Bathroom rugs are a widely available item and can be found in many different locations. Retailers such as Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart and the homeware sections of major department stores will typically have a wide range on offer and these are good locations to look.

Price Range

In terms of cost, rugs for a bathroom are not an overly expensive product to buy. Both individual rugs and bath sets can be found in the $10 to $20 price range. An example of this is the three piece bathroom rug, contour and lid set from Brown’s Linen. This costs around $12 and includes a 19 x 30 inch area rug, a contour rug for the toilet and a toilet lid cover. It is available in a few colors such as navy blue, burgundy and beige. Larger individual rugs or better quality bath sets can be more expensive with costs up to around $50 not being uncommon.

Using bathroom rugs in your home can add a little luxury and style to a bathroom. They are typically attractive and can help to enhance the look of the room as well as being practical and making it a more comfortable place to spend time. They can therefore be a good choice for your home.
