Bird and Anemone Floral Cotton Bath Mat - Slate Blue

This bath mat carries the Bird and Anemone design, a classic Morris floral of birds nestled among scrolling anemones and foliage. It is woven in pure cotton, with a soft blue-green print reading across a cream ground. The design fills the whole mat edge to edge, framed by a narrow patterned border on all four sides, so it sits as a piece of pattern on the floor rather than a plain functional square.

A bath mat like this earns its place beside the bath, the shower or the basin, where it catches drips and gives you a soft place to stand as you step out. The muted blue and cream palette settles happily against white sanitaryware, pale tiles and painted walls, and it suits a bathroom styled with a little heritage character. Because the pattern is busy and two-toned rather than a single flat colour, it forgives the everyday marks that a plain mat shows straight away, which is a real advantage in a room that stays damp.

The mat is made from 100% cotton, which is why it feels soft underfoot and why it takes up water so readily; cotton is naturally absorbent and washes well, so a mat that lives in a wet room can be freshened as often as you like. Being pure cotton, it is machine washable, and it will feel more comfortable once it has been through a wash or two. Wash it with towels in similar colours and let it dry fully before it goes back down. If you are furnishing the wider Bird and Anemone range, this mat picks up the same archive pattern that runs through the rest of the line.
