These Aren’t Your Grandma’s Bathmats

Is it just us, or does buying a bathmat feel like a Catch-22? On the one hand, you need a mat in your bathroom. What’s the alternative? Getting your floor all wet or, even worse, slipping after a relaxing bath or shower? Um, no thank you.

But while bathmats are integral to every home, you have to admit they’re not always the most stylish accessories. If we’re being totally honest, those shag or aggressively floral styles remind us a lot of something we’d find in our grandparents’ house— no offense, Nana and Poppa!
