Bath Mats

A bath mat transforms the bathroom from a purely functional room into a place of well-being. The difference underfoot is palpable: when stepping out of the shower or bath, the feet sink gently into the deep pile, the material warms and flatters the skin. Anyone who has once experienced the comfort of a tufted bath mat no longer wants to be without it.

At Interior Couture you will find bath mats from five renowned premium manufactories. On request we are happy to send you free fabric samples so that you can check the feel before buying – you can reach us by phone on +49 (0) 221 630 606 12.

What is a bath mat?

A bath mat is a voluminous, tufted rug made specifically for use in the bathroom. Unlike the flat, woven terry shower mat, the bath mat has a deep pile – the threads stand upright in the backing layer and provide a velvety-soft, cushioning walking experience.

This construction brings several benefits:

• Exceptional comfort: the deep pile acts like gentle padding
• High absorbency: the voluminous structure absorbs plenty of water
• Warmth: the dense pile insulates noticeably – warm feet instead of cold stone
• Dense look: bath mats always look high-quality thanks to their volume
• Design statement: as a generous floor element, the bath mat shapes the character of the bathroom

Bath mat or shower mat – what is the difference?

In the bathroom, the two product types are readily confused. In fact, however, they differ markedly in construction and character:

• Shower mat: made of tightly woven terry, flat, highly absorbent, often available as a set matching the towel line
• Bath mat: tufted with a deep pile, voluminous, velvety-soft, an independent design impact as a rug

Which one suits you? Anyone who values a unified bathroom ensemble with the towels is well served by a shower mat . Anyone who wants to make the bathroom floor a design element in its own right and seeks maximum comfort underfoot will find the right choice in the bath mat. Many customers combine both – a shower mat right in front of the shower, a bath mat elsewhere in the bathroom.

Lacoste Home – sporty chic with French flair

Lacoste Home embodies modern comfort with a sporty note. The legendary crocodile logo, the high-quality workmanship and clean lines provide a timelessly elegant look – ideal for bathrooms with a modern, sporty feel.

Which size is the right one?

Bath mats come in various sizes – the right choice depends on the available space in the bathroom and the intended use:

• 50 × 75 cm: compact standard size, ideal as an accent in front of the bath or shower
• 60 × 90 cm: comfortable standard size – the most common choice
• 70 × 120 cm: generous version, ideal for larger bathrooms
• 80 × 150 cm and larger: as a central floor element in the bathroom, shaping the character of the room
• Special sizes: possible on request with many premium brands

Anyone who mainly wants to use the bath mat in front of the shower or bath is well served by the medium size. Anyone who wants to shape the bathroom floor design should reach for the larger version. When in doubt: bigger is usually better – the bath mat should in any case be wide enough for both feet to fit comfortably on it.

Colours and styles

The colour of the bath mat shapes the atmosphere of the entire bathroom. We stock bath mats in various colour worlds – with dedicated sub-pages for easy selection:

• Beige – warm natural tones, timeless and suited to many furnishing styles
• Grey – modern elegance, combinable with almost any colour world
• Green – natural accents, from delicate sage to strong fir green
• Black – refined contrast, modern and distinguished

Three style concepts are especially popular:

• Tone on tone with wall and floor colours: calm, harmonious, timeless
• Setting an accent: a colour-contrasting bath mat as a design statement
• Natural tones as a base: beige, grey and soft green as a calm foundation

Characteristics of a premium bath mat

• Dense tufting: high fibre density for volume, absorbency and durability
• High-quality cotton: long-staple fibres for a pleasant feel
• Deep pile: provides the characteristic cushioning walking experience
• Non-slip backing: prevents slipping on smooth tiles
• High absorbency: reliably absorbs water droplets
• Long-lasting: high-quality models last many years, even with frequent washing

Caring for your bath mat

• wash regularly – usually at 30 to 40 °C, depending on the manufacturer's instructions
• always observe the care label – bath mats often have special requirements because of the non-slip backing
• use a colour detergent without optical brighteners
• no fabric softener – it reduces absorbency considerably
• let it dry gently, in the tumble dryer ideally only on a low setting or as recommended by the manufacturer
• shake out and air regularly, this keeps the pile fresh
• do not iron

With good care, premium bath mats last many years. We recommend, with frequent use, ideally using two bath mats in rotation – while one is in the wash or drying, the other is ready in the bathroom.
