Acorn Floral Cotton Bath Mat - Mineral Blue

This is a pure cotton bath mat carrying the Acorn design: a dense pattern of acorns, oak leaves and trailing foliage worked in soft off-white against a mineral blue ground. The pattern is drawn from William Morris's acorns and foliage motif, and the mat is edged with a slim beaded border running down each side, so the print reads as an all-over field framed rather than a plain rectangle. Being woven from cotton throughout, it is soft underfoot and naturally absorbent, which is exactly what you want the moment you step out of the bath.

A bath mat lives on the bathroom floor and earns its place there by drying your feet and staying comfortable to stand on. This one suits a bathroom that leans towards pattern and colour rather than plain white, and the muted blue sits happily alongside white sanitaryware, natural wood and brass or aged-brass fittings. The soft-white foliage keeps the overall effect gentle rather than busy, so it works whether your scheme is period, country or simply relaxed and lived-in.

Cotton is the reason this mat behaves the way it does. It absorbs water readily and lifts moisture off your soles rather than letting it pool, and because it is a natural fibre it washes cleanly and comes up fresh again. The supplier describes it as machine washable, so it can go through a normal wash cycle when it needs freshening, which for a bathroom textile that sees daily wet feet is the detail that matters most. The Acorn name is shared across other pieces in the same design, so if you want the pattern to carry through your bathroom the motif is available beyond the mat alone.

What is this bath mat made from?

It is made from 100% cotton throughout, which is a natural fibre chosen here because it absorbs water quickly and stays soft to stand on with bare feet.

Can I put it in the washing machine?

Yes. The supplier states it is machine washable, so you can run it through a normal cycle whenever it needs freshening after regular use in the bathroom.

Does the pattern go all over the mat?

Yes, the acorn and foliage print covers the whole face of the mat, with a slim beaded border running down each side rather than a plain edge.

What colour is it?

The ground is a muted mineral blue and the acorns, oak leaves and foliage are picked out in a soft off-white, giving a gentle rather than high-contrast look.

What sort of bathroom does it suit?

It suits a bathroom that welcomes pattern and colour, and it pairs well with white sanitaryware, natural wood and brass fittings for a period or country feel.
