It brings colour into a room that usually has none. Diatom-mud fabric on top, foam core, rubber base: it looks decorative and behaves like a proper bathroom mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eU-shaped contour, cut to fit around a toilet base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eTerracotta, rust, sage and cream with a black bound edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003ePrinted ornate tile panels with a Greek key border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eSurface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eDiatom-mud fabric — a soft textile, not a rigid stone mat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eFoam absorbent layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eRubber, non-slip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eDrying\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eAbsorbs on contact, evaporates quickly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTerracotta is the colour that fixes a beige bathroom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost bathrooms land somewhere between white tile and pale wood, and they can look a bit unfinished as a result. A warm rust ground picks up wooden floors and brass fittings, sits well against cream walls, and is dark enough that it does not show every mark. The pattern does the rest — a plain terracotta mat would be a block of colour, while tilework gives the eye something to follow and makes a small space feel considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to handle water, not just to look good\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe diatom-mud surface is a soft fabric rather than one of the hard stone slabs sold under that name, so it draws water in on contact instead of letting it sit on top. The foam layer beneath spreads it across the mat to evaporate quickly, and the rubber base keeps everything anchored on tile or wood. That combination is why a printed mat like this stays looking sharp rather than going soggy round the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the print fade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWash it cool, inside out, and keep bleach well away from it. Air dry flat rather than tumble drying — heat is what dulls a printed surface and hardens the rubber base. Treated that way the colours stay warm rather than going chalky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have to go around the toilet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The U-shape is cut for a toilet base, but it works just as well tucked around a pedestal basin or into an awkward corner where a rectangular mat would look wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSee more decorative designs in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/luxury-bath-mats\"\u003eluxury bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the shaped range in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/curved-bath-mats\"\u003ecurved bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Bath mat","offers":[{"title":"FGZN-4 \/ 50x55cm","offer_id":55198069260631,"sku":"14:200002984#FGZN-4;183:200007736#50x55cm","price":9.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/3733\/3847\/files\/Sd6e3f3bbb7f34686ac489c6b301ccb420_04f08da7-7539-4440-a068-aa103118d192.webp?v=1790699150","url":"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/products\/vintage-toilet-mat","provider":"Bath mat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
