Same here. The first would work in a mud room or laundry room, not your beautiful bathroom. The second really looks out of place.

I'd look for something much lighter.

Neither - Pretty bathroom, the rugs.....not so much!!

Sorry- but I agree that neither one "belongs" nicely.
Your bathroom is lovely and very serene. The rugs do not complement it other than having similar colors.
(the rugs are too heavy in my eyes. not bad lookin' but they just don't do anything nice for the space and it is a NICE space:).

I have to agree with the other posters: the bathroom is GORGEOUS and the rugs are NOT.

what they said...

Yep....any more choices?

I like one better than two but agree with what everyone else said. Your bathroom is so pretty! The rugs seem too casual.

Thanks guys. Should have listened to my gut-neither fits the space. Any suggestions or ideas? How about this one in gray? I don't know if I can justify spending that much for a bath rug...

Nope -

I would definitely go with a solid white or grey bath rug... something very simple with some soft texture. You don't want to take attention away from that gorgeous bathroom !

I wouldn't go with any stripes, checks or wavy patterns. I'm a floral nut and I think a soft floral with green in it to match your walls would be beautiful.

Whatever you get, have it match the green in the room.

Something like one of these from Macys.com?

I would get a fluffy white bath rug.

I agree....just a little white bath mat for when you step out of the tub.....why cover that lovely tile?

I also don't like any of those rugs. Have you tried a plain white rug? I don't think you bathroom needs extra pop or pattern.

Is there a reason you're looking at dhurrie rugs because I just can't get my head around walking on them in bare wet feet. My first thought was plain white, but I do like the two forhgtv suggested.
And why mentioning "forhgtv"...do you have any association with HGTV? Just curious.

Hi, justgotabme. No association with HGTV other than posting with this user name on the HGTV forums. I decided to use the same name here so that my overloaded brain would have one less thing to remember.

I dont like any of the rugs, sorry. Your beautiful bathroom needs a pop of color. What are the accent colors of the rest of your house?

What do think about a really light colored Oriental/Persian style rug? Maybe something similar to Pottery Barn's Malika rug. If you like the the look you can find many cheaper alternatives out there (wouldn't spend alot for a bath rug). I really love this style of rug in a bathroom...in fact, I'm going out in a few to find a new one for my bathroom.

Ooo...I like your grey option very much. The other two just look dowdy compared to your gor-geous bathroom.

I don't think we're seeing the rug in context though, from the angle that you're posting your bathroom. Can you post the other view - the one with the vanity on either side of the window, and the tub in front of it? Then we can give you a better opinion of how the pattern looks. I'm assuming that's the view you would see most often anyway...assuming your door is parallel to the window.

Thank you everyone for the ongoing feedback. I agree the 2 rugs I originally posted do not go with the serene spa like feeling I'm trying to create for the bath. I need something that blends with the floor. Maybe something smaller also- the ones I posted are 4 x 6 - I think I will go for a 3 x 5. The reason that I'm avoiding white is that I have black hair that sheds alot-so it will look like a mess all the time. But I do agree that something that blends with the floor will look better, that is why I'm searching for something gray.

Unfortunately, DH will not go for floral or persian. We need something a bit more contemporary/transitional. I just may order that gray one. I can always use it elsewhere. Redroze- I'll post a few more pics later.

my bath has the same colors as yours....I have a muted greens braided rug in mine and love it. this isn't anything like mine but the green/white colors would look nice in your bath and wouldn't detract from it.

I was thinking something like this in white or bay leaf. On my monitor it looks like it would match your wall color, but that could be way off too.

Here's another, but only two color options.

Your bathroom is so gorgeous and those large rugs just detract from the beauty. If it were me, I'd put a smaller rug in front of the vanity, something nice to stand on while brushing teeth, etc. and hang a big fluffy bathmat (probably white) on the side of the tub. Or maybe the gray (or green if it coordinates) like this:

These are somewhat pricey, but there are some wonderful choices:

The problem I'm having with all the rugs suggested above is they're modern looking compared to your bathroom which is on the country side. I don't think "spa" when I look at the room.

I can see why you want a rug in the middle of the room since it's so large, but the "wet feet" will hinder your choices.

I think going with a small solid color in front of the vanity would be best. Or a green, rose and cream floral. :)

ballard designs has nice rugs, generally muted colors...i ordered some juliette rugs for my master baths and think they will fit nicely...

I have to agree... not wild about any of those rugs. I too would love to see a fluffy white rug in there, but if you want an area rug, Ballard and Home Decorators do have nice ones.

Your bathroom is GORGEOUS!!!!

Kohls Berkley rug.....maybe?

Here is a link that might be useful: Geometric....with green...

First of all, your bathroom is luscious. You have certainly accomplished the spa feeling. Very serene and relaxing. I love the color on the walls.

I agree with Vampire that something traditional might work in there.

No need to worry about the *wet feet* and using a large rug in the center of the room - simply use a bath mat for bathing time. I personally do not care for a rug right in front of a tub, much prefer a mat.

I also understand looking for something other than a floral since that is not your husband's choice. A patterned traditional rug may be just the thing!

Again, lovely room - will be watching to see what you find!

Nicole, I hope you're kidding. That rug is hideous.

natal.....her husband wants modern and no florals....so....geometric? with green in it?

I like mixing modern and old fashioned....makes ya stop and think............not boring!!!! :0)

I missed the part about no florals. Oops. lol. I just don't see modern in that room though. I like mixing modern and old-fashioned too, but mostly in furniture. I just can't see a large modern rug in there with the country look to her bathroom.

And the green in there is my favorite color of green! To me that green is pure country/farm.

I think you guys are right. The bathroom doesn't really need a decorative rug. The tile floor is heated so I just need something outside the shower to catch the water. I saw this one at crate and barrel and it's SUPER soft. I may just pick one up. Not sure about stone vs white. probably stone b/c white will look good for about a day.

Once I add window treatments, art and acessories, if I feel the room still needs some pop then I will look for something.

A flokati would be perfect but they are very hard to maintain.

I vote for a fluffy white cotton rug. Costco has one from time to time. No florals, no colors, no dark colors. The bathroom is so lovely that only a white rug would match its subtlety.

These are from Pottery Barn. I have one similar in front of my roman tub and love it. The Jenna rug
{{!gwi}}
They have several other I like too, but they have more pronounced floral design.

I think a nice patterned rug would give look nice with all the solid colors. Check out Rugs USA - they have free shipping both ways.

Okay, how about this one:

I like the last three rugs. As much as I love the white rug I would also steer away because of the color.

I have these in our guest bath room and love them. Yes, it's white but it's machine washable. The little bit of texture and the grey trim give it a little pizazz to me.

Also - Bed, Bath and Beyond has some solid, super soft bath mats that are extra absorbent. Not sure which color might work best for you but they have lots of choices in the store. And inexpensive/easy to replace when it gets worn.

Good luck!

I'm not sure how your going to use "your" tub....but at my house, DH gets out one end and I get out on the other. Our rug runs the length of the tub. SO... A really long, say 2' x 5' for size and maybe a chair in that nice, big beautiful room......? A hanging fern....

Tuesday Morning has nice stylish rugs @ reasonable prices.

Your bathroom is gorgeous - very spa-like. Sigh, wish mine was!

I didn't read all the replies above but I'm not seeing any decorative rug there and I guess I'm not familiar with the concept of using one in a bathroom. I would use a fluffy bath rug, something in white or silver sage so as to not detract from your pretty tile, just like the C&B one that you linked to above.

You could throw a big bath sheet on the floor when you actually use the tub,
leave the floor bare in between those times. Very nice bath area.

I wouldn't do any pop of color though, glass, metal, white, keeps the serene look going.

I would put something thick, plush, clean and spa-like. Something modern. The two rugs in the pics don't look like bath rugs. Keep looking!

I saw your house pics yesterday on the house building forum! I had actually saved your bathroom pic (the other view you have of the larger view...you should post it over here!!) to use for inspiration for our upcoming home build. I LOVE your bathroom.

You do have similar colors to our bathroom now, which I love enough to repeat in our future bathroom. Our paint color is a bit lighter (Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments cut to 75%) but the feel is the same. We have white fluffy bath mats and I wouldn't have it any other way. Having seen your bathroom from the angle where you can see the front view of your tub with that great window and the other vanity on the other side...I wouldn't want anything to distract from it.

pps, I think you had the right idea with the Crate and Barrel rug knowing you have heated floors. We have one for just outside our shower and it's very soft and very absorbent, which is what one needs by the shower.

Ohhh, that rug Carole posted is beautiful!

Restoration Hardware has wonderful bath rugs in the colour of your walls (also some in slightly darker and lighter shades). They can be pricey, but they have their bathroom sale 2x a year (I think it's on right now). Also their mats come in a variety of sizes and gorgeous subtle patterns that would go well with your room. You could get a small one for the shower or a larger one for the tub - or both!

Wow, great feedback. It's not obvious in the pics but the area I'm talking about is between the tub and shower.

Maybe this pic shows it better.

The rug will be used as a bathmat. We will step onto it from the shower, so it will get wet. Daisy, I did check our RH but the ash/stone color were a bit too brown. I don't think I want the silver sage. I will most likely end up with the crate and barrel one. I'll try the stone one, but if that's too green/brown, i'll do the white. I will definately post pics once the window treatments and accessories are in. We're moving this weekend, I'm definately going to take a bubble bath in that tub when we're done!
