Tile Rugs That Will Leave You Floored

While they admittedly arenโ€™t great for drying your feet as you step out of the shower, they can be a visual showstopper that doesnโ€™t break the bank.

Like any material you choose for your floor, youโ€™ll want something thatโ€™s slip-resistant, but outside of that, the options are virtually limitless. Youโ€™ll most likely end up choosing a ceramic or porcelain tile for your rug, since these materials have the widest range of patterns and colors.ย When selecting your featured tile, you can use the same tile youโ€™ve already used in another part of the space, or choose something thatโ€™s intricate and over-the-top. You get the freedom to choose a tile that might otherwise be out of your budget. Since you wonโ€™t need much of it, itโ€™s a great way to splurge on your design.

When it comes to a tile rug, placement matters. By taking your favorite tile and adding a border around it, you can direct the eye to call attention to another keystone item in your bathroom like a freestanding bathtub, a striking vanity, or even centered in the room beneath a chandelier.

Now the biggest difference between a cloth rug and a tile rug? You guessed it, itโ€™s not easily changed, so proceed with caution. You donโ€™t want to go too bold with a color, pattern, or size but you also donโ€™t want it to be too subtle either. Finding the perfect balance that accents a space but still also calls attention to it, is key.

If youโ€™re in need of an entire bathroom overhaul, set up a time to discuss your homeโ€™s possibilities with a Designer. Make sure to visit our photo gallery of past projects. For even more home tips and inspiration, follow Normandy Remodeling on Facebook and Instagram.
