The bathroom is the second room in the house, right after the kitchen, where we focus on practical solutions. Of course, aesthetic considerations are not left to chance. The arrangement must be harmonious so that the daily care routine is as pleasant and relaxing as possible. The elements that combine practical considerations and are a beautiful decoration are bathroom rugs.
What to look for before choosing a rug?
First of all, you should pay attention to what factors the fabric will be exposed to. The bathroom is a room that we often use, so all accessories should be selected wisely. The rug will certainly be exposed to getting wet, being washed and dried. Remember that the rug fibers should be easy to clean - because they can get dirty when you drop a make-up cosmetic. In this case, synthetic fibers that can be cleaned with a damp cloth are the best solution.
It's also worth paying attention to whether the rug is machine washable. Moisture and heat favor the growth of microorganisms. The best solution to prevent this is to wash it regularly. However, remember not to use strong detergents and set the temperature not higher than 30 ° C.
Washable rugs - the perfect solution for the bathroom
Classic or non-slip rug?
When it comes to safety considerations, there can only be one answer - definitely a rug with a non-slip backing is more safe. The bathroom is a place where the floor is often wet, which makes it easy to fall. A rug with a rubberized bottom will reduce the risk of a fall. This is especially important if it's used by the elderly and young children whose mobility is somewhat limited. In addition, the rug will provide a comfortable feeling when leaving the bath.
The non-slip rug will also not move around the bathroom, even if you walk on it frequently. As a result, it won't distort the concept of the bathroom design, which will always look exactly as it was intended.
If the perfect rug turns out to be the one without the rubberized bottom - nothing is lost. The non-slip mat will make any rug stable and safe.
Which colour and shape will work best?
Aesthetic considerations are very individual. It all depends on the bathroom decor and the residents' preferences. Usually the bathrooms are decorated in a fairly calm style, with solid tiles. The rug is therefore an element of the decor which can be more extravagant. An interesting colour, pattern or maybe a non-obvious shape of the rug will make the whole arrangement extraordinary and surprising.
