How To Make A Bathroom Rug Out Of Old Towels

Cuckooland

Outdoor rugs are great for defining a 'living area' in the garden. Whether you have a balcony, patio or small garden that you want to zone off, an outdoor rug is an affordable decor update and a great way to create a focal point.

Think of it like bringing the inside out – you can decorate your patio or seating area with outdoor rugs, outdoor cushions, garden lanterns, and more garden accessories that will really help to create a cosy space.

You can buy a garden rug from as little as £15 to in excess of £200, and it really depends on the brand, material and size. You can find rectangular outdoor rugs, circular outdoor rugs or runner rugs.

'Outdoor rugs are being used to extend the living space beyond the house,' says Daniel Prendergast, Design Director at therugseller.co.uk. 'Outdoor rugs are also quite practical – bringing less dirt indoors from underfoot and covering "imperfect" grass and patios.'

• Materials

Outdoor rugs are often manufactured from weatherproof material, such as polypropylene – a synthetic resin that's affordable, durable and easy to clean. It's handwoven to form a resistant surface.

There are also natural materials such as jute and hemp which can be used outdoors. Alternatively, you could opt for a washable rug, and you'll often find many rugs double up for indoor and outdoor use.

For the eco-conscious, it's definitely worth investing in a recyclable rug. For example, Fab Hab recycles plastic into floor rugs for indoor and outdoor use, and they're super stylish, too.

• Care

Unless a garden rug is resistant to mildew, outdoor rugs need to be properly cared for to stop a build-up of mud and mildew to extend their life, so it's advisable to store your rug inside or in a waterproof container when not in use for extended periods of time.

You should always shake off your outdoor rug to remove any debris, grass or muck. Check the care instructions on your outdoor rug before attempting to clean it.

Mud is easier to remove when it's dry, so simply shake or brush off. Outdoor rugs can also be vacuumed but ensure they're dry and be sure to shake off the worst of the dirt first. For outdoor rugs that can be washed, The Rug Seller recommends using a mixture of washing up liquid and warm water to gently rub away dirt and stains using a sponge or soft cloth. Gently hose off the rug and hang it out to dry afterwards.

Rejuvenate your bathroom design with new bath mats

If you're looking for a simple way to refresh your bathroom design, adding some new bath mats is the perfect option. Choose from a huge range of fabric, PVC and wooden mats that come in different colours, shapes and patterns to suit your bathroom decor. Whether you're looking for a bath mat set, practical non-slip mats or luxury rugs, eBay has a variety of options.

Bath mat type and material

There's a selection of bath mats available to suit all bathroom dimensions and styles. Choose from traditional fabric bath mats made from fast-drying microfibre, cotton, terry towel and flannel, or even luxurious Egyptian cotton. Modern memory foam mats are a chic alternative, while PVC and rubber work well for shower mats. Wooden or bamboo duck-boards are a hard-wearing and sturdy bath mat option.

Popular bath mat types include PVC soft cushioned anti-slip bath mats, cotton mat sets, and natural wooden duck-boards. For safety purposes, consider non-slip mats backed with rubber or suction grips to prevent slips. For practicality, machine washable and anti-bacterial bath mats are ideal, especially if you have young children. Pair them with toilet mats, shower mats and toilet seat covers, or look out for matching sets.

Bath mat designs and accessories

Bath mats come in all colours and patterns imaginable, including animal print, checks, floral, geometric and tropical designs, as well as stripes, spots and even cartoon prints for children's bathrooms. Select a shape to fit your bathroom configuration, with oval, rectangle, square and corner bath mats available, as well as more unusual shapes like hexagonal and octagonal designs.

You can also find a range of other bathroom accessories on eBay, including non-slip tape and stickers. Spruce up your bathroom design with some new soap dishes, toilet brush and paper holders, towel rails, toothbrush holders, and shower organisers.

What Are Some Design Ideas for Small Bathrooms?

Photo Courtesy: NelleG/E+/Getty Images

Redecorating the rooms in your home can bring some chaos, but it also brings a lot of excitement as you watch an entirely new look come to life in rooms that had become mundane and dated. The long-term enjoyment and satisfaction you get from a newly redesigned bathroom, for example, is more than worth the short amount of time you spend completing the work.

When you're decorating a particularly small bathroom — or any small room — you have to make the most of every bit of available space. From creating practical spaces to letting your design imagination shine through, you could take your new bathroom in many different directions. Let's take a look at some great design ideas for small bathrooms.

Go Bold with Wallpaper

Wallpaper may seem like a dated idea, but many of today's modern prints and designs look nothing like those blocky, geometric designs from days gone by. Bold prints and striking patterns that might look overwhelming in a larger space can really shine in a small bathroom. Choose an accent wall and decorate it with bright colors or a punchy pattern or go dramatic and wallpaper the entire bathroom in a textured print.

Keep Counter Lines Clean

If you have an ample budget, changing your bathroom counter can really change the entire feel of the bathroom. Choose a design that adds crisp, clean lines to the space. Decorative finishes and scalloped edges may seem fancy and tempting, but they can distract from the rest of the room and diminish your counter space. Additionally, patterned designs on the walls call for "non-busy" counters and accessories to avoid a cluttered feel.

Add a Design Element to the Ceiling

If decorating the walls isn't your style or you don't have a lot of open wall space, consider adding an eye-catching design element to the ceiling instead. Drawing visitors' eyes up to the ceiling helps create the illusion that your overall bathroom space is much larger than it actually is, according to Elle Decor.

Consider a Floating Sink

Okay, so maybe floating sinks don't really float, but these types of pedestal sinks with no surrounding counters almost give the impression they are really suspended in midair. This sink style allows you to eliminate bulky counters and cabinets by skipping the traditional bathroom vanity. If counter space isn't important to you, look for a modern floating sink with minimal plumbing to keep your walls and floor tidy.

Think Outside the Shower Stall

Traditional shower stalls and bathtubs take up a lot of valuable space in a tiny bathroom. If you've got the budget for a full replacement, consider turning your standard bathroom into a European-style bathroom with an open shower and drain on one end of the room, partially separated by a transparent sheet of laminated glass.

Try Hanging a Towel Bar

If you plan on keeping the counter and you need more counter space, hang a towel bar (or two) to free up space. These bars can hold standard hand towels or even full-size body towels in most cases. This use of vertical storage space saves some of your limited square footage for other uses. As a bonus, you can find plenty of towel bars with decorative designs to spruce up your walls as well.

Bring Some Natural Light In

One of the biggest problems in a small space is the lack of light, and dark rooms with poor lighting look not only dismal but also seem much smaller than they actually are. If your bathroom has a window, install decorative blinds or a window shade in a color and material that lets some natural light in, even when the blinds are closed or the shade is pulled down.

Spring for an Oval Mirror

You know how funhouses always have halls and rooms with funky mirrors in them? The logic is simple — mirrors are great at creating optical illusions. Oval mirrors, in particular, create an illusion of height, and every mirror reflects both artificial and natural light to make rooms much brighter. Place an oval mirror over the sink or an open wall to add brightness and create the illusion of extra height in your small bathroom.

Use Ledges or Shelves for Storage

If you're completely remodeling your small bathroom, consider choosing a shower and tub enclosure with storage ledges in the walls. If your do-over isn't that extensive, you could hang shelves in the shower enclosure or above the sink. Ledges and shelves are great for storing shower and hair products that you don't want cluttering your counters.

Choose Flexible Storage Options

As much as you want to avoid clutter in a small bathroom, it's inevitable that you need certain items in the room. The storage items you choose are determined by the style choices you make throughout the room. If you opt for a pedestal sink, you might be able to slide a basket with fresh towels underneath it. If your shower doesn't have shelves, then look for a hanging shower caddy to drape over the shower head to hold your supplies. If you hang a shelf near your sink, pick up some cute containers to place on it to hold your toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and other essentials.
