Varieties of bathroom rugs: rich assortment

Let's decide what kind of rugs are and what they are for.

Purpose of the product

First of all, the product should ensure the safety of a person in the room, especially when we are talking about tiled flooring. When the floor is smooth, it exposes us to the risk of slipping, especially since the bathroom is always humid.

At the same time, such products will protect the tile from accidental falling of heavy objects on it.

Some models help in isolating our feet from electrical current. Remember damp floors and the danger of electric shock from household appliances.

The purpose of any rug is to become a decoration of the room, making the adoption of water procedures more pleasant and convenient

Manufacturing material

Products are divided into natural and synthetic. Consider the features of each type.

Natural

Adherents of natural materials can really enjoy stepping on a rug that does not contain traces of synthetics. You can give preference to cotton models. These products are pleasant to the touch, soft and beautiful.

The colors of cotton rugs are also naturalistic: models are sold in white, beige, gray, brown

The length of the pile matters. The tactile and visual perception of such carpets is different. A short pile is lighter, and in a long one, the leg sinks pleasantly.

Another material for creating a natural rug is wood. This product can be described as a mat consisting of wooden slats. Often the basis is rattan, tropical liana.

Bamboo mats absorb moisture and evaporate it, while properly performing all of their functions as a floor covering. In addition, the material is durable and very wear-resistant. It's nice that the bamboo mat also has a massage function.

Synthetic

Synthetic products are more popular than natural ones. The first attention is paid to acrylic, pleasant to the touch and very soft. This material has a lot of colors.

Acrylic coatings often even have an antibacterial layer, which is especially important in a bathroom.

Another material is polypropylene, which does not have such an extensive range of various colors as the acrylic counterpart. Nevertheless, the advantage of such a carpet product will be the richness of texture.

Not so long ago, microfiber, or split polyester, appeared on the market. The product very quickly absorbs moisture, dries instantly after that. It's great to know that your feet will always be dry.

What can be said about sizes and shapes

The design of the rug is very important, so we will discuss what shape and size the product can be bought.

The recommendations of experts tell us that the maximum benefit from a carpet in the bathroom will be if it covers up to 70-75% of the area. At the same time, it is not necessary to buy a solid canvas: no less convenient and interesting are the sets that are laid near the strategically important objects of this room.
