10 ways to use rugs in a bathroom |
(Image credit: Future)
While bathroom rug ideas might not be on your list of bathroom must-haves, they are a great way of adding a soft touch to cold, hard bathroom floors as well as injecting personality into spaces that can sometimes be seen as purely functional.
Whether you're looking for a rug for a master bathroom or cloakroom, there's a huge variety available in an array of materials, sizes and designs. Rugs work particularly well in larger bathrooms with expansive floor areas as these spaces can feel especially cold, but a rug can help anchor the scheme, making it instantly more homely and welcoming.
If you are looking for a beautiful rug for your bathroom ideas then our gallery of inspiration, which also includes some tips from the experts, is the place to start
Bathroom rug ideas
While bathroom rug ideas can bring instant personality to a space, there are some practical considerations to take into account when choosing these less than usual bathroom flooring ideas.
'When choosing a rug for a space such as a kitchen or bathroom, practicality is key,' says Sabina Miller, head buyer at Heal’s . 'We would recommend a washable rug for use in bathrooms that can be easily cleaned when needed. However this doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style for practicality. '
Indeed, as bathrooms are moist areas, it’s advised to opt for either a washable design or one made from water-resistant, synthetic materials where possible, as these won’t be damaged by splashes and are easy to clean.
Regular rugs made from natural fibers may be used provided they are not in direct contact with water and the room is well ventilated. When laying a rug in the bathroom it is also important to fit an underlay to prevent the rug slipping on hard floors.

Large bathrooms with plenty of wall and floor space offer a useful opportunity to showcase ornate prints as this master bathroom idea by Penny Morrison proves. For a tranquil retreat, opt for delicate nature-inspired designs in soft neutral and pastel shades such as this elegant rug with a subtle floral design.
2. Liven-up a country bathroom

Adding a colorful geometric rug is a quick and easy way to bring life to country bathroom ideas. With its large expanse of wooden floorboards and neutral walls this bathroom could run the risk of feeling cold and echoey, but a simple cotton rug handwoven in India makes the space instantly more inviting while also enhancing its quirky cottage feel.
3. Choose a synthetic rug for a wetroom

Opting for practical bathroom rug made from water-resist materials needn’t mean you have to compromise on rustic style as there are designs available that mimic the look of natural fibers. Combining the benefits of synthetic materials, with the textural look of sisal, Alternative Flooring ’s Anywhere rugs are a perfect wet room idea plus come in an array of tones to tie-in with your bathroom floor tile ideas.
4. Turn heads in a guest bathroom

Being used less frequently than master or family bathrooms, guest bathrooms can offer scope to be a bit bolder with interior design – introducing bold prints over rugs and wallpapers is a good way to achieve a head-turning look. Try contrasting an elegant Chinoiserie wallpaper with an antique kilim-style rug for a playful scheme.
'I chose something striking for the guest bathroom as it’s a bit of fun for guests to enjoy when they visit. However, if it were for my master bathroom, I would choose a quieter color as I would see it every day,' says Henriette Von Stockhausen, founder of VSP Interiors .
5. Double up on pattern

Vinyl bathroom floor ideas are a practical yet stylish solution for bathrooms as they combine the look of natural wood, stone and tiles with the benefits of being easier to lay and clean. With a decorative patchwork tile design, this ornate vinyl floor brings individuality to this bathroom while a Moroccan-style rug with a more pared-back pattern helps to temper the scheme and ties it in with the blue wall color.
6. Use a rug to warm up a modern bathroom
(Image credit: Pooky Lighting)
With their strong architectural lines and streamlined silhouettes, modern bathroom ideas feel stark and cold but adding a tactile rug is an effective way of bringing a layer of warmth to the space. Inspired by traditional Berber designs, this large rug helps to soften this black and white bathroom idea with its striking crittall shower partition and statement black roll top.
7. Choose an antique rug for a vintage feel
(Image credit: James Balston)
Are you looking for vintage bathroom ideas? Why not cocoon the space in print by papering the floor and ceiling in an ornate print and adding an antique rug on the floor? Contrasting with the pale walls, this antique Persian-style carpet really drawers the eye in this guest bathroom helping to anchor the scheme and make it feel quirky and homely.

Tread carefully on the planet by opting for a bathroom rug made from recycled synthetic materials such as this simple design.
'Because our rugs are made only and entirely from recycled plastic bottles, they offer all the benefits of a synthetic fiber rug – machine washable, really hard wearing, immune from moth attack, hypo-allergenic, stain resistant and even suitable for use outside,' says Tasha Green, director of Weaver Green . 'You can simply pop them in a washing machine for a spotless clean.'
9. Keep it simple with a white rug

For a touch of spa-like luxury you can't go wrong with a classic, plush white rug to bring softness and warmth underfoot to a tiled bathroom floor. This simple design from The White Company is a brilliant rustic bathroom idea it lets the beautiful patina of this vintage roll top really sing.
10. Choose a stylish bath mat
(Image credit: Future)
If you do not have space for a rug in your bathroom, but still want to add interest to the floor, then consider a bathmat with a decorative design – every bathroom will always need a bath mat so this could make a good small bathroom idea. 'A form of rug or bathmat in the bathroom is absolutely essential in our opinion – no slippery wet floors in a space very prone to accidents without any underfoot buffer,' says Noemie Deed, founder of Cosy Coco .
What kind of rug do you put in the bathroom?
As bathrooms are moist areas it’s advised to opt for designs that are washable or made from water-resistant, synthetic materials as these are less likely to be damaged by splashes and are easy to clean. Low pile rugs are better suited than deep pile rugs as they are easier to clean and are less likely to trap dirt. With the rise of outdoor living, there are plenty of water-resistant rugs available which be used to brighten up your bathroom as well as your patio.
Decorative rugs made from cotton or other natural fibers can still be used provided they are placed away from areas where they could be in direct contact with water and the room is well ventilated. Using regular rugs in a bathroom can create a quirky homely look and work particularly well in large, traditional bathrooms.
Where should you put rugs in the bathroom?
Where you put a bathroom rug will depend on what type of rug it is. A washable anti-slip bath matt made from cotton or a synthetic fibres is a must-have by next to a bath or shower, however larger rugs that serve a decorative purpose are best placed away from wet areas and are not suitable for wet rooms.
Placed in the center of the room a decorative rug made from wool, cotton or other natural materials can help bring warmth and texture to a large bathroom as well as serving to anchor the scheme. Do ensure that the rug has an anti-slip underlay when used on a hard floor and that the room is ventilated.
Decorative rugs and runners are also a good way to bring personality to spaces less frequently used like cloakrooms and guest bathrooms.

Varieties and features of the use of bathroom rugs
1. Purpose
Soft rugs are an indispensable piece of furniture for almost any bathroom, regardless of its style decision. They create a cozy atmosphere and provide security. Therefore, the choice of a soft bath rug must be approached no less important than the purchase of other types of furniture.
2. Basic standards
The key characteristics of bathroom rugs include: resistance to moisture, hygroscopicity, durability, safety. No less important is the resistance to reproduction on their surface of fungus, mold and other microorganisms. The optimal combination is an anti-slip coating, which is located on the underside of the mat, and a soft surface on top, which has excellent hygroscopic properties.
3. Varieties and their features
3.1 Difference in production material
Among the main materials from which bathroom rugs are made, we can distinguish:
- Acrylic and polyacrylic;
- Microfiber;
- Chenille;
- Cotton;
- Others.
3.2 Dimension difference
- 50 x 80 cm;
- 60 x 90 see
Manufacturing companies are establishing the production of round and square rugs. For the former, the most common sizes are: 40, 60 and 80 cm in diameter, for the latter - 50x50 cm and 70x70 cm.
Toilet rugs in their purpose, shape and size are no different from bathroom rugs, so it makes no sense to single them out as a separate group. Most often they are produced in the form of a square or rectangle with dimensions of 40x50 cm, 50x50 cm and 50x60 cm.
3.3 Technical and operational properties of the anti-slip coating
Latex backing The back of the mat is a continuous layer of latex that is identical in appearance to foam rubber.
Latex coated
Light coating, rough to the touch, through which the main color of the rug is visible. Ideal for underfloor heating.
3.4 Drawing techniques
Printing
This technique allows you to apply drawings of any complexity with a large number of color shades. The main thing is that the pile on the front side is not too long.
Jacquard
The embossed pattern is created by interweaving plain and colored threads. Basically, the technique is used to obtain floral patterns, which are characterized by smooth lines.
Technique of combining different lengths of pile, its density
The most common method of applying a solid pattern, varying the length of the loops and using both cut and uncut loops.
4. Advantages of materials
The production material, as one of the key factors that you should pay attention to when choosing a rug, should have the following properties: durability, wear resistance and hygroscopicity. For each material, technical and operational properties are different. Consider the advantages of each material.
4.1 Acrylic
Synthetic material, tactile sensations reminiscent of animal wool. It is characterized by average indicators of hygroscopicity, it takes a long time to dry completely. At the same time, it has excellent wear resistance, does not fade under the influence of light, and does not collapse under the influence of moisture. A rug made entirely of acrylic is quite expensive, so polyamide or other synthetic material is often added to its composition to reduce cost.
4.2 Polyacrylic
Rugs with the addition of polyamide in the form of a polyacrylic thread. At the same time, the cost of production decreases, but the main characteristics, moisture resistance and wear resistance remain at the same high level as that of a 100% acrylic rug. The use of polyamide in the manufacturing process adds a “glassy” sheen to the carpet, reduces its hygroscopicity and makes the rug more slippery.
4.3 Microfiber
The chemical composition of the material is 100% polyester or its combination with polyamide. This synthetic material has increased wear resistance and hygroscopicity. It does not shed, it is soft to the touch, and its care does not require special knowledge and tools.
4.4 Cotton
A natural material that requires regular, thorough care, otherwise it loses its properties and becomes plain in appearance. Cotton rugs should not be left wet, they must be thoroughly dried, otherwise they lose their original shape, become rotten and become a breeding ground for fungus and mold. From washing to washing, such rugs lose color, become nondescript. Cotton is one of the most durable and wear-resistant materials that are used to make rugs.
4.5 Nylon
This material is least suitable for use in rooms with a high level of humidity. It is not safe, as it does not absorb moisture well. The pile is rough. Its main advantage is low cost and durability.
4.6 Chenille
The material is divided into two types. The first is a homogeneous fabric, a combination of synthetic threads and viscose, which in some cases is replaced by polyester. The second is a combination of natural and synthetic fibers; it is the most practical, so manufacturing companies are trying to use this particular option.
4.7 PVC
PVC or polyvinyl chloride is one of the most popular materials among the inhabitants. PVC rugs are not expensive, and very practical. Their material does not slip, quickly absorbs moisture, and dries easily. High adhesion to the floor and other surfaces allows you to use this type of rug in the shower or shower cabin.
5. Maintenance
In order for the mats to last as long as possible, it is important to comply with all the requirements indicated on the packaging. This is especially true for latex-based products. General care requirements include:
- The mat must be laid dry;
- He must not spit;
- The room where the rug is used must be ventilated;
- Wash once every two weeks at a temperature not exceeding 300 in the hand wash mode;
- Do not dry mats on any type of heater.
6. Tricks
If you can't find one large bath mat, use two smaller ones. The longer the pile on the front side, the longer it will take the mat to dry, regardless of the material from which it is made. Commercially available mats with a non-woven backing; they allow you to increase the volume and softness of the product.
7. Pricing
The cost of rugs is influenced by many factors, the degree of influence of each of which is very difficult to determine. For example, a rug made entirely of acrylic with a 1 cm pile may have a lower cost than a polyacrylic counterpart with a 4 cm pile. Therefore, it is worth highlighting some points that are especially important for pricing:
- The most expensive material is acrylic;
- The larger the rug, the more material was used in the production process, which means the prices are higher;
- The cost is affected by the length and density of the pile.
8. How to choose the right rug
- First you need to understand what size and color scheme you want the rug to fit perfectly with the style of your bathroom;
- For purchase, you can take a sample of a curtain, tile or other piece of furniture that will help you more accurately match the color scheme;
- Already in the store you can choose your size and material;
- Check with consultants about the features of use and care.

Bathroom rugs are not just a part of the interior. They play a very important and often invisible role in ensuring safety and maximum comfort. That is why, when choosing such a rug, pay attention to a number of factors due to which your purchase will meet your expectations.
As a rule, the floor in the bathroom is covered with ceramic tiles, the surface of which is slippery and cold. Stepping on such an uncoated floor is extremely unpleasant, and also quite dangerous due to the risk of slipping. Bath and toilet mats are specially designed to solve this problem.
In our online store you can find a wide range of floor mats made of various materials and with a variety of color compositions. When choosing which rug to buy for the bathroom, pay attention to the material from which it is made. Each of them has its own merits.
- Cotton. Warm, soft, comfortable - this is how this natural material is characterized. It is resistant to repeated washings. It can have a short or long pile, as well as different types of weave, thanks to which the product can create a special flavor and pleasant impressions. Cotton rugs are distinguished by soft bed tones. Great not only for bathrooms, but also for bedrooms or children's rooms.
- Acrylic. It is a very soft and delicate material. Since it is made from synthetic materials, its price is lower than that of natural materials.
