Yes to bath mats.

I throw my bathmat over the edge of the tub. The one you have looks more like a rug to me.

Yes of course bathmats! They are nice on your bare feet (tile is hard and cold), and prevent you from slipping and falling (wet tile is slippery).

We have white bathmats in our single bathroom and don't insist that guests take off their shoes, so when we have company, we will remove the bathmats so they don't get dirty.

Why not a rug in front of cabinet? With pattern, design and color.

I don't really like a "rug" in front of the toilet. For me, I would use a terrycloth bath mat that I could throw over the edge of the tub after use so it can dry.

I like the one in front of the sink...but maybe a brighter color? (trust me, lint on a dark rug is a pita)...

The one in front of the sinks is too small and the one by the tub is too big. For the sinks you should be able to stand at each sink and be all the way on the rug, not straddling the edge. At the tub, look for a small one that gives you just enough room to step out of the tub, but is further away from the toilet.

We have a 'weaved' cotton mat (made from strips of jeans) I love it and would never ever have a fluffy one again, since the fluffy ones collect so much dust.

I would say yes to the bath mat next to the tub (to prevent falls from kids getting out of the shower) and no to the bath mat next to the sinks (it's bond to get bunched up and caught in the door, plus the size is a bit overwhelming for the room).

Yes to bath mats, but no to rugs placed near potties.

another option.... switching bath mats around.

just playing with what I have currently. leaning towards 2 small mats in front of both sinks....??

The dark is diminishing the amount of flooring in the room and makes it look chopped up. I would have one rug that matches the floor color and put it over the tub behind the curtain and take it out before a bath.

How about one luxurious plushy white one? They have some great ones at Home Goods...

I like floor colored rug used in front of the sink and matching one over the tub to use when getting out of the shower. A note..all small rugs are a hazzard for elderly people...they can trip over rugs...even rubber backed ones.

I prefer one long pretty cotton woven rug with fringe in front of the double sinks, in a neutral color palette (with a little color woven in) that goes with your neutral floor tile. Then, have a neutral colored more cushy bath mat, that goes with woven rug, that is not too stiff, that you can drape over the edge of the tub to be used when needed. I've had good luck on Wayfair and Target to find woven rugs. Personally I like fringe on the woven rug, but it catches pet hair.

It depends upon your individual situation. If this is your personal bath with limited use -- no children or guests -- and you like the look of rugs, go for it; however,

For myself, one plush non-slip washable bathmat in front of the tub/shower that can be hung over the side of the tub when not in use is the better option.

For my purposes, any more would be stumble hazards in need of frequent laundering.

The rug looks too bulky for me. I use a mat that is made out of the same fabric as the towels. No rubberized backing on this kind. When not in use, it hangs over the side of the tub.

One longer /patterned and more decorative runner at vanity, and skip the toilet/tub until in use for a bath or shower. Fold a simple absorbent mat over the tub. Done. Can be hard to find the perfect length, but a carpet store CAN cut one down : )

A washable bath mat in front of each sink that blends in with the floor color.

I have a bath Matt in both bathrooms that are only used for getting out of shower - they are not used as rugs so when not in use they’re draped over the the shower rod. They’re really no thicker than a bath towel. I do not like rugs in bathrooms, especially around the toilet. Unless you stand in there for long periods of time I’m not sure why rugs are needed. The clean look of your floor is more desirable decor wise.

I have a beautiful tile and marble shower with frameless glass doors - why would I want to drape a rug or a mat over it?

I don't have a tub but again why would I want to drape anything over the side of the tub as part of the permanent decor?

I am not sure why something on the floor is necessary. I had a rug prior to my remodel because I just assumed it was what was done. When I moved out during the remodel, a used towel on the floor served the dual purpose of absorbing any drips and providing a non slip surface when my wet feet exited - this was in the bathroom of death which had slick 12 x 12 marble tiles :-).

After using a towel for six months I realized that having permanent or semi-permanent rugs/mats on the floor only created an additional thing to clean - cluttered up the visuals of my bathroom and served no purpose for me.

Helen, what do you do with your "used towel" between uses?

I agree with Helens comments, but would like to add that if you have a guest bath (we do) you do have to consider a mat as a safety feature for your guests. However you choose to display that feature is totally your call. :)

The used towel is in rotation. it goes in the hamper. And then I use the next used towel. It seems to work out without much planning.

I’ll stick with mats, and with kids in a hurry I’d have them in that bathroom too. It’s a safety and function issue. When showing get off the home, remove them. Color is good.
