Leicester Floral Cotton Bath Mat - Natural

The Leicester Bath Mat is woven from 100% cotton and carries a classic Morris floral design across its face, drawn in the woven pile rather than printed on top. The pattern is worked in warm, natural tones, a soft beige ground with the leafy scrollwork picked out tone-on-tone, so the design reads through texture and light as much as through colour. It is a bath mat first and a decorative one second: the cotton gives it a generous, cushioned feel underfoot that a thinner mat cannot match.

This is a mat for the bathroom floor, the spot beside the shower or the bath where you step out and want something soft and absorbent under bare feet. Cotton is naturally absorbent, so it takes up the water that comes off you and holds it rather than letting it pool on the tiles. The neutral, earthy palette sits happily against white sanitaryware, wooden accessories and stone or ceramic tiling, and the tone-on-tone floral means it works in a busy bathroom without fighting the rest of the room. If you like a period or country feel, the archive floral earns its place; if you prefer plainer schemes, the muted colouring keeps it quiet.

Being pure cotton, it is straightforward to look after. Cotton takes a machine wash well and comes back soft, so this is a mat you can keep clean without ceremony, washing it as often as a bathroom mat needs. The woven construction means the pattern is part of the cloth and will not peel or crack the way a printed finish can over time. It is a simple, honest addition to a bathroom, and the classic Morris drawing gives it more character than a plain mat while staying easy to live with day to day.
