A bath mat is an essential part of any bathroom design - particularly when it comes to making sure your bathroom flooring is kept as dry as possible. However, they can often be a little uninspiring and not as useful as you might imagine.

Whether you need a bath mat for your shower ideas or to go next to your bath, it might not actually be as useful as it seems. A regular size mat doesn't always save your flooring from splashes, but the bath runner could be your solution.
