Bath Rugs

The burning question that everyone shopping for a new bath rug or mat wonders: what exactly is the difference between a bath rug versus a bath mat? The main difference is that while both can be used decoratively, bath mats are more functional and absorbent (think style meets practicality), providing a safe spot to place your wet feet without slipping when you get out of the bath or shower. Meanwhile bath rugs are plush and provide a more luxurious feel for the space. Both are available in a number of sizes, colors, textures, and overall options. Do you need a bath rug or mat in your bathroom? As with all decisions, this is largely preference, although there are many benefits to having one. Firstly, depending on the textile of your floor, having something near the sink, shower/tub, or toilet will help the finish (and the flooring) last longer. It also provides a slip-free place for you to step in order to safely dry off or get changed.
