When we finished our bathroom a couple months ago, I couldn’t believe how many people asked about a bath mat! To be completely honest, we’d either throw down a towel before stepping out of the shower or just dry our feet and step out one foot at a time. But recently, instead of continuously going through towels, we indeed purchased a bath mat (this one!) and it’s cute, textured and extremely absorbent (plus! can be thrown in the wash!). We hang it up on the bar on the shower door to dry afterward.
And guess what! It actually works infinitely better than the towel we used to throw on the floor before stepping out. Here are a few other favorites, at every price point:

Do you have a bath mat? Or are you a throw a towel on the floor before stepping out kind of person?
Love everything!
I got some fab Tulum bath mats from Quiet Town.
I don’t have glass doors (hate to squeegee them) and I don’t like shower curtains. I find that rain shower heads don’t spray as much water all over. I use the bath mat (and possibly my dirty t-shirt I just took off before showering) to keep the floor dry. It’s the best!
Always have a bathmat. Having just a bathmat and not mat (think heavier weave) plus floor towel was my small rebellion into adulthood. My mother always left the bath mat on the floor and then you placed your bath floor towel (similar scale) on top of the mat. Getting rid of that second step was my own little win in streamlining my domesticity, hah!
I have 4 machine washable bath mats that don’t have grippy on the back or anything, and they’re all white so they’re bleachable (just like my towels). I won’t go back to any other kind! I also hang it up to dry after every shower and so that no one steps on it with dirty feet. Apparently a very divisive issue!
Hi Julia and everyone!
This got me thinking. Underfloor heating in the bathroom? Is that not a thing in US? Here in Sweden you can’t really renovate a bathroom and not get it :-) Keeps the feet nice and warm and clears the water off the floor in half an hour. I just dry my feet or not depending on mood. No need for any mat. Might look cute though but totally unnecessary. It’s like those tissue boxes. No need. :-)
We do have heated floors, but do you just do water right on the floor?
Hi!
I have a heated floor too (in Germany), mine is slate tile, I always just get the floor wet and just let the heating an the air dry it… The area in front of the shower is tucked in a corner though not in a walkway…
