Bath Mats

Our expert Jo on how to choose the right bath mat:

“A good bath mat should make stepping out of the bath or shower feel safer and more comfortable. It also helps protect the floor from splashes, so absorbency matters just as much as colour and appearance.

“Choose the size around the layout of the room rather than the size of the bath alone. Leave enough clearance for doors and cabinets, and position the mat where you naturally step out. Coordinating it with your bath towels creates a more cohesive look, while a contrasting colour can give a neutral bathroom a lift.

“I’d prioritise a dense, even pile and high-quality cotton over appearance alone. Hampton and Astley bath mats use long-staple Egyptian cotton fibres woven closely together for softness, absorbency and durability, with a substantial 650 GSM weight that brings a five-star hotel feel to the bathroom.”
