Bath mats - your feel-good factor in the bathroom
Do you know the feeling when your feet sink into a soft bath mat? Time to pause for a moment and enjoy. A bath mat brings cosiness into the bathroom. Often referred to as bathroom rugs, they generally bring warmth to a space. Additionally, it's much more pleasant to step onto a soft surface after a shower or bath than onto cold tiles. Apart from these feel-good factors, bath mats protect the floor from unsightly water stains and prevent slipping with wet feet. The bath mats themselves are non-slip thanks to the coated underside. In our range, you can find various sizes, ensuring the right bath mat for your sanctuary. Now, the choice remains between bath mats made of cotton, polyester, or recycled fibres.
Your bath mat in different sizes and shapes
Once you have found the right design, you need to decide on the right size of the bath mat. This depends primarily on the size of your bathroom, but also on where the bath mat is to be placed. In front of the shower? Or in front of the bathtub so that your feet step onto a soft surface immediately after bathing? The different series in our bath mat range offer between two and four different sizes to choose from. The shape of the rectangular bath mat varies depending on the size chosen. In large, rectangular bathrooms, several bath mats can create a comfortable atmosphere. In small bathrooms, there is usually only enough space for a small bath mat in front of the shower or an elongated bath mat in front of the tub.
Large bath mats
Large bath mats fit perfectly in front of the bathtub, but can also have a wonderful effect at the washbasin. The larger the bath mats are, the larger the surface area that provides safety. Large bath mats make the bathroom cosy in the simplest of ways. Coordinating the bath mats with matching towels enhances this factor. Bath mats measuring 100 x 60 cm or 120 x 70 cm are among the large bath mats in our range. A great example is our bath mat Megan.
Small bath mats
If space in your bathroom is limited, small bath mats in front of the shower create a great effect. You'll be welcomed by a cosy bath mat as soon as you step out of the shower, ensuring a safe footing. Small bath mats can also have the advantage that two or more bath mats can be placed to create a cohesive look. Our small bath mats measure 65 x 55 cm and 80 x 50 cm. The classic, beautiful small bath mat Maja in neutral colours is a perfect choice.
Rectangular bath mats
Rectangular bath mats often simply fit best in a bathroom. This is of course due to the fact that the rooms and the arrangement of the bath and shower typically provide rectangular surfaces. In addition, rectangular bath mats make optimum use of the available space. Rectangular bath mats harmonise perfectly with towels. Their shape gives them a rather clear and simple appearance. In contrast, a round bath mat can appear more playful. However, the overall effect is significantly influenced by the choice of colour, design, and existing decor.
Your bath mat in numerous colours
Bath mats, due to their significant size, can quickly and easily add colour to your bathroom. These don't have to be bright colours; grey or beige bath mats can wonderfully complement the existing decor. What change would you like for your bathroom? Hopefully, our extensive colour range includes the perfect bath mat for you.
Bath mat in grey
Like black and white, grey is a classic colour that will probably always be in style. Grey bath mats blend in just as harmoniously in light bathrooms as they do on dark tiles. This colour's versatility makes grey bath mats perfect for creatively combining with other coloured bathroom textiles .
Bath mat in beige
Beige encompasses pale brownish tones - natural colours. Bath mats in beige look warmer than a shade of grey and harmonise with many colours. Do you already have a very natural bathroom design? Beige bath mats or bathroom rugs in beige are a perfect choice for bathrooms with natural wood elements.
Bath mat in anthracite
People rarely think of anthracite for bath mats. However, a very dark grey may be just the right colour to enhance the elegance of a bathroom or add a touch of coolness to a modern bathroom. The industrial style also very often makes use of dark shades of grey through to black.
Bath mat in green
Shades of green with a high blue content are refreshing and fit well in the bathroom. Towels in the same colour can provide support so that the colour with the bath mat does not remain a single splash of colour in the bathroom. Green is a colour that frequently changes but always remains trendy. For inspiration, explore our Colours of Green collection.
Bath mat in blue
Bath mats in blue are simply perfect for the bathroom due to their association with water. Bathroom accessories and bathroom textiles in white are great partners. You can create a harmonious look by repeating the blue colour of the bath mat in your towels. Create a small maritime or Nordic wellness oasis.
Bath mat in white
White bath mats are classics and fit into any bathroom. Especially in Nordic-style bathrooms, which use a lot of white, white bath mats add lightness and a sense of cleanliness. To avoid a sterile look, pastel tones can be harmoniously added.
Your bath mat made from different materials
There are various materials to choose from for bath mats, with many bath mats made from cotton or polyester. In addition to an attractive appearance, a pleasant feel is particularly important. The bath mat should be soft, pleasant to the touch and skin-friendly. A beautiful bathroom accessory with a high feel-good factor. In our range you will find bath mats made of cotton and polyester. Often, there is a personal preference for a specific material. To aid your decision, here are the characteristics of each material:
Cotton bath mat
As a natural material, cotton creates a great indoor climate and is particularly pleasant for the feet. Due to the structure of the fibre, cotton can absorb large amounts of moisture and also release it again, meaning it dries well. In comparison, a bath mat made of pure cotton dries more slowly than a bath mat made of polyester. The material is very robust and easy to clean. If soiled, the bath mat can simply be washed in the machine. Our Megan bath mats are dryer-friendly and suitable for underfloor heating.
Bath mat made of polyester
Synthetic fibres often resemble natural fibres in appearance. The feel and touch is different to that of bath mats made from natural fibres. Bath mats made of polyester also provide a high comfort level for the feet, as they are wonderfully soft depending on the pile height. As polyester fibres have a smooth surface, they absorb less moisture. Conversely, polyester bath mats dry faster than cotton bath mats. Polyester retains its shape and is easy to clean and can simply be machine washed when dirty.
Non-slip bath mats
In addition to the cosy aspect, bath mats should above all ensure safety. Thanks to bath mats, your feet will find a secure stand after a shower or a pleasant bath and you won't slip on the tiles. The majority of our bath mats are therefore equipped with an anti-slip underside that keeps the bath mat in place.
If your bathroom features underfloor heating, it is important that the coated mat is suitable. In our range, all bath mats with a non-slip underside are suitable for underfloor heating. This is the case for uncoated bath mats anyway.
Unique bath mats
Bath mats are by no means boring and enrich every bathroom - whether a small or large wellness oasis. Special colours, an extra cosy pile or modern woven structures and designs turn bath mats into real favourite accessories.
Bath mats in rosewood or a fresh mint green add a splash of colour to the bathroom, while a pile height of 20 mm or more attracts attention with its cosy appearance alone. And if you are looking for special designs, you can choose a great colour from the Leana series with a woven structure or opt for the Lindano bath mat with a woven-in star motif.
Bath mats in a set
Does your bathroom have space for two bath mats? The Lindano bath mats in a set will give your bathroom a new look. The woven-in star gives the bath mats a modern and youthful appearance. The neutral colours of glacier grey and snow white suit every bathroom and every interior. The bath mats not only impress with their special look, with a pile height of 18 mm they are cosy and soft and the cotton material is skin-friendly and comfortable.
If you need different sizes for space reasons, all our bath mats can be combined. The individual ranges offer a choice of between two and four sizes.
Frequently asked questions about bath mats
How can you make a bath mat non-slip?
The majority of bath mats are equipped with an anti-slip underside. This coating reliably prevents the bath mats from slipping on smooth tiles. Non-slip bath mats are usually thicker. Different pile heights ensure softness and a comfortable step. All bath mats in the kela range are non-slip. An exception are the flexible and thin bath mats, which are washable up to 60 °C and suitable for tumble drying. If you already have a bath mat that does not have a coating, a grid-like anti-slip mat for carpets can be a solution.
How and how often should you wash the bath mat?
Like towels, bath mats should be kept clean and hygienic. Depending on how often and by how many family members the bath mat is ‘walked on’, it can be washed regularly. Non-slip bath mats can usually be washed at up to 30 °C. This temperature is sufficient to remove dust, light dirt, shower gel and shampoo residue. It is advisable to place bath mats with a high pile or with the first wash in a large pillowcase so that the fluff remains collected in it. Some bath mats can easily be washed at 60 °C and can even be tumble dried.
How do you get bath mats fluffy again?
With the right care, bath mats retain their colours for a long time and remain beautifully soft. Therefore, bath mats should always be washed according to the washing and care instructions provided. The particularly cosy, high-pile bath mats made of cotton and polyester are normally washable at 30 °C. The bath mats are best dried spread out on a drying rack. After drying, the fibres will straighten up again by shaking them and rubbing them through by hand.
