How to choose the color of a bath mat? – 6 creative tips

A bath mat is not only functional, but can also complement the interior design of your bathroom. Choosing the perfect color for your bath mat will make your bathroom beautiful and welcoming.

Indeed, bath mats come in a variety of styles, textures, and colors. You may be wondering which one to choose and what color it will be.

In this article, we would like to share some tips on how to choose the color of your bath mat. Let's dive into them now.

Tip 1: Match the color of your bath mat with the color of your bathroom accessories.

The color of your bathroom accessories such as soap dispensers, toilet mat, wall art or framed pictures, toothbrush holders, scented candles or diffusers can help you choose the right color for your bath mats.

For example, if the color of your toothbrush holder, soap dish and framed pictures are shades of turquoise, then you can use dark turquoise colored bathroom rugs.

Additionally, if you are choosing a textured, patterned bath mat, you can choose a two-color mat, such as teal and white. This rug color can also pair well with a white bathtub, vanity, toilet, and light or neutral flooring.

As a result, your bathroom interior looks cohesive, cozy and inviting.

Tip 2: Think about the design of your home interior.

The style of your bathroom usually matches the overall style of your home.

For example, if your home and bathroom have a minimalist style, choose a rug of the same type. It is often paired with neutral colors such as beige, brown, black, gray and white.

You can take a look at these photos for gray bath mat ideas that go well with modern and minimalist bathrooms.

Meanwhile, if you have a vintage style or traditional bathroom decor, you can choose a rug in a bright color such as red. Or you could have a rug for your bathroom floor, such as a Persian rug.

Tip 3: Consider the style, color and texture of your bathroom floor.

The rule of thumb is that if you have a light-colored bathroom floor, then you should have a dark-colored bath mat, and vice versa. As you can see in the photo above, the bathroom floor has light brown tiles and a dark brown bath mat.

Everything looks harmonious with other accessories in brown shades.

Another example is this bathroom above with shades of black and white flooring. A white bathroom rug goes well with a dark colored bathroom floor.

The same applies to wooden floors. You can choose bath mats in light colors that match the color of the wood grain.

Tip 4: Decide what kind of atmosphere you would like to create in your bathroom.

If you want your bathroom to be child-friendly, you can choose a colorful bath mat or bright colors such as orange or dark pink. These colors are warm and can create a cheerful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, if you want to create a spa-like atmosphere and a luxurious bathroom, choose bath mats in neutral colors such as pale green, brown and beige. If you like a cool and clean atmosphere, you can choose white or gray bath mats.

To give your bathroom a beachy or natural feel, shades of blue or green are ideal. A modern style will go with a white and gray bath mat.

Tip 5: Consider the size of your bathroom.

Light colors can make a room feel larger and brighter. Meanwhile, dark colors can make a room appear smaller. This can be applied when choosing a bath mat.

Take a look at the photo above. The bathroom is small and, as you can see, it has a light colored bath mat in the same color as the fixtures. It makes the room larger, cozier and brighter.

Colors like white, beige, tan and light gray can make a room feel larger. It also maximizes the effect of natural light.

Tip 6: Decide on the color of your bathroom walls.

The color of your bathroom rug should match the colors of your bathroom walls, fixtures and bathroom accessories.

If you have two-tone marble walls, you can also choose a two-tone bath mat as shown in the photo above.

If you have wallpaper with a blue print, then choose decorative rugs for your bathroom in a light blue color that will go well with your wallpaper.

In one case, if you have dark colored wall tiles, you can choose a dark colored bathroom rug. But it goes well with a light bathroom floor.
