Tips on Decorating with Bathroom Rugs
Decorating with bathroom area rugs is one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update, improve and beautify any bathroom in your home. Bathroom rugs can turn a drab bath into one full of color. Or you can use bathroom rugs to create a focal point or define an area of interest. Bathroom rugs can add warmth to otherwise cold tiles, stone or concrete floors. Bathroom rugs will protect hardwood floor or wall-to-wall carpeting. And the right bathroom rugs can tie together all of a room’s décor elements.

Bathroom rugs are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating a large master bath or a small powder room, there’s a bathroom rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, bathroom rugs can bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, bathroom rugs can be changed with the seasons – or your mood – and are yours to keep should you move.
If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your bath, bathroom rugs are the perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect background for a beautiful bathroom rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still use bathroom rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or use bathroom rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put bathroom rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!
The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad
Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every bathroom area rug requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your bathroom rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor a bathroom rug to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and rug.
The Miracle Hold Plus rug pads we sell at Rugs Direct come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold your bathroom rug securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most bathroom
rug manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.

Useful Information About Bathroom Rugs
Bathroom rugs are an inexpensive and excellent way to give new life to any bathroom, whether larger or small, full- or half-bath. Bathroom rugs allow creative freedom without going to the extent of re-wallpapering, re-tiling or putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls. Bathroom rugs allow one to update the look of a bathroom without the addition of a new bath ensemble. However, bathroom rugs can also complete the addition of a new bath ensemble and can add even more contrast, diversity and color to a plain tiled bathroom. Rugs for your bathroom can range from trendy shags to traditional Orientals.
Bathroom rugs serve many purposes. Certainly style and utility are the most prevalent. They provide a touch of softness for your feet, but can also add color and texture to your bathroom. Rugs can turn the master bath into an inviting oasis by including amenities that include plush, high pile area rugs. Rugs for the children’s bath can be lively and fun. Soft chenille rugs with nature scenes, rubber ducks, or playful colors can easily make bath time more enjoyable in a fun and pleasant surrounding.
When it comes to bathroom interior decorating ideas, many people draw a blank. Perhaps this is because of the smaller size of most bathrooms. But rugs are a great place to start when giving your bath a new look, and they allow many personal touches without the cost and physical labor of heavy remodeling. Bathroom rugs, like other area rugs in a home should be a reflection of you and your home’s personality. If bright floral or garden patterns are indicative of your style, why not reinvent your bath in English Floral or contemporary garden designs? Bring your style into play without overplaying or overpowering other elements of the room such as the shower curtain or decorative towels.
Styles and decorating concepts have evolved and in today’s home almost any rug can serve as your bathroom rug. No longer are you locked into using the rubber-backed, washable rugs of the past. Today thick, plush, hand-tufted or hand-hooked wool rugs are very commonly used in bathrooms and can give your room a rich and inviting feel. Olefin rugs are also a terrific choice for the bath. Olefin is easy to maintain and clean. Typically a 3’ x 5’ or 4’ x 6’ will fill the floor space of a bath nicely. However, bathroom rugs can and should be any size or shape, depending on the room’s dimensions. If your master bath is spacious and open, a nice 5’ x 8’ would look wonderful!
