Bathroom mats can put a great finishing touch on your bathroom design. With the wide variety of colors, materials and textures available a bathroom mat can enhance the ambiance of your bathroom, making it a comfortable and safe place to attend to personal needs.
Bathroom mats go a long way toward achieving safety and comfort in a room where you are often barefoot. In addition to keeping your feet warm in winter months, a bathroom mat cushions your feet while standing on hard ceramic or stone floors. Bathroom mats with non-slid backing also help prevent falls, a common problem where standing water can making for dangerous footing.
Bathmat styles range from simple cushy comfort to decorative features that finish the look of this often-small room. One type of bathroom mat that is gaining in popularity is a rubberized fabric that is spongy and comfortable to the step, while readily absorbing water.
Carpeting materials like fluffy shags are also easy on the feet. You can also find woven rag rugs that are cozy and create comfort in the room. Standard cotton rugs, however, are decreasing in popularity because they slide around the floor and bunch up, making them easy to trip over.
Another bathroom mat that is gaining in popularity is the sisal rug, an eco-friendly choice that should be waterproofed for bathroom use.
Cork is also a great bathroom mat material because it is secure under foot and is made of natural materials.
