Description
This tufted cotton bath mat carries a big, friendly whale across a white ground, bringing a cheerful seaside note to the bathroom floor. The whale is worked in bright turquoise with a soft lilac-blue belly, a swept-up tail and a single dark eye, all set in a fluffy tufted pile. It is a simple, bold design that reads clearly from the doorway, and the plain white surround keeps the whole mat looking fresh. It is made from 60% cotton and 40% other fibres, and it measures 83cm along its longer side and 52.5cm along its shorter side, at about 1cm thick, with the tufted surface itself roughly 80cm by 50cm.
At that size it sits comfortably beside a bath or in front of a shower, giving wet feet a welcoming place to land. We think it suits a family bathroom especially well: the whale makes a playful picture for bath time with little ones, yet the clean white and turquoise palette sits happily with grown-up tiles and fittings too. It works just as well in a children's en-suite or a seaside-themed cloakroom, and it pairs naturally with white or blue towels for an easy coastal look. If your bathroom leans towards greys and whites, the turquoise adds a lift of colour without overwhelming the room.
The tufted construction gives the mat its textured, fluffy surface, with the whale and its belly picked out in their own colours of pile. Care is simple: it is machine washable at 30°C only, and it should not be bleached, ironed or tumble dried. After washing, give it a good shake and leave it to dry naturally. Lay it with the whale swimming into the room so it greets you as you step out of the bath, with a stack of white towels close by for a bright, beachy finish.
