Description
This is a pure cotton bath mat carrying the Bird and Anemone design, one of the patterns drawn from the William Morris archive. The design fills the surface with anemone flowers, curling foliage and birds worked in two tones, sage green against a cream ground, framed by a narrow scrolled border on all four sides. It is a busy, all-over botanical pattern rather than a plain or striped mat, so the interest sits in the print itself.
A bath mat lives on the bathroom floor beside the bath or the shower, taking wet feet first thing and last thing in the day. Being 100% cotton, it soaks up water readily and gives underfoot, which is exactly what you want on a hard tiled or wooden floor. The green and cream palette sits comfortably in a bathroom with white sanitaryware or wood, and the archive floral suits a room styled with a little heritage character rather than a stark, minimal one. It works equally well as a single accent or paired with towels in matching tones.
The mat is woven from cotton throughout, a fibre chosen here for how soft it feels and how well it stands up to repeated use and washing. Cotton is naturally absorbent, so it draws moisture away from the surface quickly, and it launders without fuss, which matters for something used daily and washed often. The reverse-tone weave means the pattern reads clearly from above whether the mat is damp or dry. If you like the Bird and Anemone look, it is a print that carries easily into the rest of a coordinated bathroom scheme.

Frequently Asked
What is the bath mat made from?
It is made from 100% cotton throughout, a soft and absorbent fibre that feels comfortable underfoot and stands up well to daily use.
How do I wash it?
The supplier states it is machine washable, which makes it easy to keep clean given how often a bathroom mat is used and needs freshening.
Is the pattern the same on both sides?
The design is woven in two tones so the sage and cream pattern reads clearly from above, whether the mat is dry after use or still damp.
Will cotton absorb water well?
Yes, cotton is naturally absorbent, so it draws moisture away from the surface quickly and helps keep the floor around it drier.
What colours does it use?
It combines a sage green pattern against a cream ground, a calm palette that sits well with white sanitaryware, wood and heritage-style bathrooms.
