Description
The Leicester Bath Mat is made from 100% cotton and carries a classic Morris floral design, woven into the pile so the pattern sits in the texture of the mat rather than printed on top of it. The photograph shows a warm gold ground with a dense scrolling floral running edge to edge, framed by a plain woven border on the two shorter sides. Because the design is worked into the towelling itself, it stays in the cloth wash after wash rather than fading from the surface.
This is a bath mat for the space right in front of the shower, the bath or the basin, where you want something soft to step onto with wet feet. Cotton is naturally absorbent, so it takes up the water that comes off you rather than sitting damp on the surface, and it is a fibre that dries out again readily between uses. The gold tone reads as a warm, earthy colour, so it sits comfortably with natural wood, brass or bronze fittings and with off-white or stone-coloured tiling.
Cotton is a straightforward fibre to look after. It is happy to be machine washed, which is what you want from something that lives on a bathroom floor and needs regular freshening. The woven floral gives the mat a cushioned feel underfoot, and the plain end borders give the pattern a clean edge to sit within. If you already own other Morris floral pieces, the Leicester design keeps company with that same archive-drawn style, so it slots in easily alongside them.
