Bathroom rugs are both practical and beautiful accents. When these rugs are intentionally placed in your bathroom, you can accent a vanity, create a pathway, or provide a soft landing pad by a tub or shower. Before you choose a rug for your bathroom, there are some important facets to consider.
First and foremost, if you are placing a rug in a full bathroom with a tub and/or shower, then it’s vital to choose a rug that is moisture resistant. If you choose a rug that is easily damaged by water, then the rug will quickly become unsightly or worse, it may begin to develop mildew. Bathroom rugs should also be easy to clean since they are so heavily used.
Bathroom rugs are often made of synthetic fibers like a microfiber or a blend of different materials. These synthetic materials are often treated to be water resistant and highly resilient. Cotton is the most popular natural material for bathroom rugs, since it isn’t prone to water damage and is easy to maintain.
If you are decorating a half bath or a room without a shower/tub, then you can invest in natural materials like jute, sisal, or wool. Since these rooms don’t have the same level of water exposure or humidity, they can act as beautiful and practical accents in these rooms.
Bathroom rugs typically absorb water quickly and dry much more easily than dense materials like wool. It is important to choose a rug that absorbs water. Absorbent rugs will soak up water from the tub or shower and prevent it from creating a slick surface on the hard bathroom floor. Absorbing the water only solves half the problem though; these rugs must also be able to dry quickly and easily, or else the water that’s absorbed in the rug’s fibers will grow mold or mildew.
Since bathroom floors can be slick (and rugs just slide more easily on smooth surfaces), it’s vital to choose a rug with anti-slip properties. Many bathroom rugs and mats have their own non-slip backing built into the rug, but others may require a separate rug pad to keep them in place. That secure grip will improve the safety of the room and also provide additional comfort and plushness.
Each bathroom is unique with its size and layout, so there are no firmly set rules of how and where to place rugs. There are general principles to consider, such as placing a rug next to a tub or shower to improve the room’s functionality. It is also common to set a rug in front of a sink or vanity as an accent piece and comfortable standing mat. No matter where you place your rug, the rug’s size should correlate to the nearby furnishings and the size of the room as a whole. 2x3 and 3x5 rugs are popular options for specific stations, but runner rugs can vary in size depending on where they’re placed and what function they serve.

Aside from improving the room’s functionality, bathroom rugs can also add a touch of style to your bathroom. Bathroom rugs are incredibly diverse with different patterns, colors, piles, and materials, which means that you can easily choose a rug that suits your unique aesthetic. Modern, vintage, traditional, boho--all of these styles and so many more can be shown off in bathroom rugs.
Bathroom rugs need to be cared for intentionally just like any other area rug. Regular maintenance through vacuuming, shaking out debris, and spot cleaning is an essential part of caring for your rug. Since bathroom rugs do see so much traffic and dirt, we recommend choosing an easy to maintain rug like a machine washable bathroom rug. These rugs can be easily cleaned in a washing machine and stand up to daily traffic and dirt.
Bath mats are a specific type of bathroom rug. Mats are typically designed to be highly water absorbent and dry quickly to suit tubs and showers. Other types of bathroom rugs like runner rugs or contour rugs are designed more for general comfort or style. Contour rugs are uniquely shaped to fit in front of the room’s toilet, but runner rugs and other small bathroom rugs are more generic shapes that can be used anywhere in the bathroom.
Bathroom rugs are an investment in the room’s style as well as its utility. Since the bathroom is such a highly used space, it’s worthwhile to invest in quality area rugs for the room. For example, if you save for a machine washable cotton rug instead of a bathroom rug that is not as easy to clean, you’ll be less likely to regret your purchase. Ultimately, you must determine your own budget, what type of rug you’re looking for, and make a purchase that you won’t regret.
There are many ways to use rugs in your home’s bathroom. Aside from using the rugs as decorative accents by sinks or vanities, bathroom rugs can also make your bathroom more safe and comfortable. By carefully considering your rug’s materials, grip, and placement, you can improve every facet of your bathroom and show off your unique aesthetic.
