Wooden Rugs for the Bathroom

We like the mix of wood accessories with the white ceramic fixtures and tiles used in many bathrooms.

We used a wooden mirror and bathroom faucet detail, as well as a tall, narrow wooden dresser (intended for use in a bedroom) for storage in our bathroom which really warms up the dark slate grey flooring and white fixtures.

The recent posting of reader Keisha Kornbread's bathroom shows off a wooden spa bench in an all white minimal space to great effect.

But even if you don't want to add "furniture" to your bathroom, it is possible to add a bit of the texture and color of wood with a bath rug or mat made from wood.

West Elm makes two options:
A wood block rug (shown above) is $49. for the 2'x3' size.

The Waterbury bath mat (right) is made from teak and is $79.

I have a wooden bath mat from vivaterra, and I've found it actually gets a bit grody due to the ridges in it. I've had to scrub it many a time with Murphy's Oil Soap. That and for mine, the water does drip through and so I put a thin bath mat underneath it.

The best way to avoid water damage repairs is to put an bath mat that it made to absorb the water that will undoubtedly get onto the floor. Although the wood mat looks really cool, it may not be the best way to prevent water damage.
