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.

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.

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

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

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.'

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.

Farmhouse Bathroom

If you find yourself drawn to farmhouse style, you’ll likely appreciate an organic and casual atmosphere with simple lines and well loved (aged) materials. For a farmhouse bathroom, you’ll want to mix old and new. A vintage style rug placed in front of the sink or tub can add softness and safety. Or, try a simple flat woven striped rug in black and white over wood floors. Use a rug pad to prevent slipping.

Transitional Elegance

Transitional style combines traditional design elements with contemporary style. In your transitional bathroom, you’ll find smooth straight lines combined with soft curvy textures. A rug is a great way to balance your transitional space. If you have a smooth lacquered vanity, add softness with a round or oval rug. Balance out bold masculine tile with a cushy rectangular chenille rug.

Double Vanity

Double vanities extend the bathroom space, creating room for two. Here, a beautiful vintage runner is centered between two vanities creating a soft place to land your feet while still showcasing your bathroom's tile. Standard sizes for bathroom rug decorating tend to be smaller to prevent cluttering the floor. These smaller sizes are also easier to clean regularly, keeping your bathroom sanitary and welcoming.

CHIC AND GLAMOROUS

If your home style is all about glitzy sophistication, then your bathroom should be no different. Glam style incorporates a neutral color scheme with sculptural lines and dramatic details. Give your bathroom that ‘Old Hollywood’ vibe by starting with a neutral color palette, then add a bathroom vanity or pedestal sink with sculptural lines and metallic detail. Finally, add thick and luxurious towels and rugs in traditional or geometric patterns. A high pile rug made from wool or synthetic materials feels rich and handles moisture well.

Heirloom Accent

This printed rug features an eye-catching heirloom pattern printed on a soft and durable surface that’s resilient enough to stand up to regular bathroom use. The rug’s auburn color palette works well with the olive cabinets, tying the decor together and giving the bathroom a warm appeal. If you have colorful cabinets in the bathroom (maybe ones you can't paint over), try using a patterned rug as the focal point to help split the attention.

Boho Bathroom

This modern boho bathroom uses color coordination between the rug and shower curtain to create a cohesive and welcoming look. A narrow layout doesn't make bathroom rug decorating difficult—it just calls for a runner instead of a larger option. Here, the runner helps elongate the space without making it feel crowded. And the accents continue the color coordination, completing the boho style.

Playing with Prints

This bathroom makes excellent use of patterns, prints, and contrast. The tribal print runner is charming and sophisticated, and it softens the half-painted walls. If you're looking for bathroom mat ideas to go with fun paint or attractive wall designs like those shown here, consider a grounded tribal design in neutral colors. Remember, your accents don't have to match perfectly to work beautifully together.

Floral Appeal

This bathroom calls for an eye-catching rug with its floral curtains, a stylish bathtub, and a textured stool. And the vintage-styled runner fits the bill perfectly. It emphasizes the pink found in the floral curtain while still playing with contrast beside the black cabinets. If you love floral designs, try pairing them with traditional medallion rugs like this one to complete your look.

Spa-Like Texture

There's something special about curling your toes into a clean, textured surface right after getting out of the shower or bath. It can make you feel like you've arrived at your own personal spa, and it's excellent for helping moisture evaporate more quickly. And since this is a Chilewich mat, it’ll be easy to clean and moisture resistant. Mats like this add texture to your design, too, which can make the decor in your bathroom feel polished and professional.

Soothing Stripes

If you’re decorating a master bathroom with a bathtub, a rug is more than a style choice. It can also make getting in and out of the tub safer by providing a slip-free surface for you to place wet feet on. Here, we see another Chilewich mat, this time in stripes of soothing blues. Chilewich mats are crafted from vinyl yarns that are prized for their ability to withstand moisture, traffic, and cleaning.

Cool Blues

Blue is one of the most popular colors for the bathroom. It makes sense, too, since it's associated with water, relaxation, and spa vibes. Here, you see the power of a blue round or oval rug placement in the bathroom. Bathroom floor mats with rounded corners make the space appear larger while creating a softer appeal. And with braided bathroom rug construction, common in farmhouse rugs, you’ll enjoy enhanced durability and easier cleaning, which is a must for this space.

Master Bathroom Rug Ideas

Chilled Grey

Grey is yet another soothing rug color that we love seeing in bathroom mat ideas. The skinny stripes of grey complement the marbled grey throughout this lovely bathroom, giving it a relaxing appeal. And since it’s a Chilewich mat, it promises to be easy to clean, moisture resistant, and long-lasting...the perfect fit for a master or guest bathroom.

    • Non-allergenic. This is a natural material, so it is absolutely safe for allergy sufferers.
    • Long drying time . On a cotton rug, household pollution is poorly removed, and it also dries for a long time, which is fraught with the spread of fungus.

    • The presence of special impregnation. The coating must be treated with a special solution that will protect the material from decay.

    Size and shape of rug

    There is a huge range of bathroom rugs in different shapes and sizes. However, small-sized sets that are designed to be placed near the bathtub, toilet and sink remain the unchanging favorites. They are easier to wash, wash, move, dry, which is why they are popular. nine0005

    Choosing the right rug shape can make a big difference in your bathtub. To date, there are rugs of oval, rectangular, wavy, square, round, abstract shapes. How to choose the most suitable option for transforming your bathroom?

    1. Round rugs are not recommended for small rooms, as they visually reduce the space. For such rooms, products of a rectangular, wavy shape are better suited. nine0020
    2. Round rug will look great in a spacious room with curved, angular lines. Such “islands” will help smooth out sharp corners and add softness and comfort to the atmosphere.
    3. Square runners are best placed in large bathrooms. This option will be an excellent choice, complete with a semi-oval rug.

    Pile length

    The fluffier the coat, the softer and more pleasant it is to the body. But in the case of a room with high humidity, the longer the pile, the longer it dries, which is fraught with the formation of microbial organisms and loss of functionality of the coating. Manufacturers offer several options for fluffy islands:

    • Lint-free. This is an ideal option for those who have pets in the house.
    • Fine pile. To the touch, this coating is soft and pleasant, it dries fairly quickly and is easy to clean.
    • Long pile . The height of the villi depends on the capabilities of the manufacturer. These are very soft coverings, but they cause many difficulties in leaving. They need to be thoroughly vacuumed, washed and dried for a long time.

    When purchasing the long pile version, you should think about buying a second rug that will be replaced during the drying or washing of the first option. nine0005

    When choosing a product, pay close attention to the processing of the edges of the tracks. They can be sewn with thin threads of low quality, which can break after the first wash.

    Selection of baby anti-slip mats

    The main function of baby anti-slip mats is to ensure safety while bathing your baby. As a rule, these are odorless rubber coatings, bright colors, in the form of various animals. The surface of the rubber tracks is embossed, which is necessary for massaging the feet; on the wrong side, they are equipped with suction cups, which prevent slipping. nine0005

    These rugs are easy to clean and dry quickly. Bright colors will surely interest the baby, and he will not be capricious in the process of bathing.

    Rubber covers should be washed after each use to prevent the formation of harmful bacteria.

    In order to securely attach the rubber mat to the bottom of the tub, it must be wiped dry and dried. It should not leave traces of cleaning products.

    When buying a baby bath mat, look at the product label. Today, many manufacturers offer machine-washable rubber flooring options. nine0005

    Modern manufacturers offer universal options for children's bath covers, which have removable elements. This rug will be a great way to develop fine motor skills in a child.

    Bath mat color

    The choice of color for your bathroom flooring depends on the size of the room, its finishes and your personal preference.

    In rooms with a predominance of turquoise, white, dark tones, beige, brown, dark blue and gray colors are suitable. In order to make the interior more harmonious, other accessories, such as towels, a soap dish, can be chosen in the same color as the rug. nine0005

    But the paths of bright lilac, red, green tones are suitable for rooms with brown, orange, beige colors.

    When choosing the color of the rug, it is important to remember that:

    • Do not buy white carpets. With intensive use, this option can quickly lose its whiteness.
    • When purchasing floor coverings to be placed near the toilet, sink and bath, it is advisable to choose options of the same color and texture.
    • A poorly dyed rug may lose its color after the first wash. If possible, check the quality of the paint before buying. nine0026

    Modern manufacturers also offer flooring models that change color when in contact with water. If you can't decide on one particular color, you might like this option.

    In order to check the quality of the paint, you should run a damp hand over the pile, if there are traces of staining on your hand, then this option is not of high quality and will quickly lose its color.

    Do-it-yourself bath mats

    Absolutely everyone can create an original design in their shower room at minimal cost. There are a variety of ways to make a rug with your own hands, but in order for it to be practical and durable, it is important to remember that:

    • The material must be moisture resistant.
    • Use a rubber or silicone mat as the base.
    • Do-it-yourself flooring is time consuming.

    The simplest and most functional options that you can make at home are cork, knitted, terry, and pebble rugs.

    Made of wine corks

    This is one of the most original and practical flooring options for rooms with high humidity. Wine corks are made from oak wood using a special technology that ensures the absence of toxic substances. In addition, oak wood is a moisture-resistant material, which allows it to be used for arranging rooms with high humidity. Along with this, the following properties can also be attributed to the advantages of this material:

    1. Non-slip. The finished cork product fits snugly against the tile.
    2. Pleasant tactile sensations. It is pleasant to step on such a coating, as it is warm, pleasant to the touch.
    3. Antiseptic layer . Corks are treated with a special solution to prevent the formation of microbial organisms.

    You will need wine corks (100 pieces), scissors, an old rubber mat, glue. This material will be enough to make a rectangular cover 40 by 60.

    Cut the corks lengthwise and apply adhesive to the mat and wood material with a gun. It is important to remember that beforehand, the rubber base must be well degreased, washed and dried. Corks can be placed both vertically and longitudinally, after gluing them, it is necessary to press them well. The coating should dry for a day, after which it can be actively used.

    Knitted bath mat

    Bulky knitting is popular these days. To make a knitted rug, you will need thick knitting needles, special bulky yarn. This type of flooring requires special care and careful operation, which is why it is more suitable for decoration. Due to the lack of a rubber base, it will slide over the tile. nine0005

    Its production does not take much time and effort. Having decided on the size and shape, you should pick up loops on the knitting needles and knit the fabric, alternating the front and back loops. The number of loops depends on the thickness of the yarn, the thicker the thread, the fewer loops and faster knitting.

    Knitted rugs look very soulful, but they are not suitable for rooms with high humidity, so it is better not to place them in the bathroom, but to use them exclusively as a decorative element. nine0005

    Do-it-yourself pebble rug

    Sea pebbles under your feet in your bathroom is a great option to bring to your home a “piece of the sea” and the best memories of your vacation. Simple pebbles, which can be collected by the whole family, will perfectly decorate the interior, and most importantly, fill the house with positive emotions.

    To make this original bathroom accessory, you will need pebbles, a rubberized mat (old or new), silicone-based water-repellent glue, and alcohol. In order to create such a masterpiece rug, you only need 3-4 hours of free time. So let's get started:

    • Preparing the surface. The rubber base must be washed well, then wiped with alcohol to degrease.
    • Trying on pebbles. Before gluing pebbles to the base, it is important to imagine how the pebbles need to be laid out, how to alternate them.
    • Pebble processing. The pebbles need to be washed and wiped with alcohol, so they will more reliably attach to the rubber base.
    • Bonding. A drop of glue must be applied to the stone and attached to the base, pressed. nine0026

    After the mat is ready, it must dry for 24 hours.

    The range of bathroom coverings is huge. To decide on the choice of the ideal option, it is important to remember that the rug should not slip, you should like it, it should be easy to clean and dry quickly. Color, texture, shape are a matter of personal preference.

    Considering all the described properties of the existing options, you will be able to choose the perfect rug for your bathroom!

    The answer is not so obvious. If there is little water on the floor, and you do not want to stand on a cold tile, then natural cotton rugs are ideal. They have a soft air pile, perfectly absorb moisture, and your legs will always be warm and dry.

    cotton bath mats

    If you have children who love to splash in the bath and leave real puddles behind, then it is better to pay attention to mats made of synthetic materials. Their fibers do not absorb moisture, so they dry much faster. Rugs do not deteriorate under the influence of water and are more wear-resistant. nine0005 Can be tried online
