Bath mats & rugs

Bath mats for small bathrooms, big bathrooms and every size in between

Choosing the right bath rugs for your space requires a few key considerations, including:

• Overall size of your bathroom
• Location of the sink, toilet, bathtub/shower in relation to each other
• Whether you prefer the look of multiple, smaller bath mats, or fewer large bath mats

While bath rugs add warmth and softness underfoot, most of us consider their most important job that of protector. The bathroom can be quite a slippery place, presenting the possibility of a fall for family members of all ages. Using bath mats anywhere that water could easily accumulate and present a risk—including in front of the bathtub or shower, and the sink— reduces the risk of slips, falls and resulting injuries. 

If you have a small bathroom where the sink and shower are close to one another, a large, long bath mat that covers all drip areas from both may provide enough coverage on its own. If the areas you want to add a bath rug are farther away from each other, using small bath mats for each offers the protection you need without overwhelming the space.

Round and square bath mats

The majority of our bath mats are square/rectangular, as this style is most common and popular. However, round bath mats are a favorite of many, and offer unique style and dimension when paired with square bath mats in the same space. If your bathroom layout requires using separate mats, consider a square bath rug outside the tub or shower and a round bath mat in front of the bathroom countertop, sink or toilet. Add further intrigue by mixing up their colors and textures as well, giving a designer touch to your bathroom.
