I ordered one online thru Dillards that I really like. It is a jacquard so it never seems to even get wet, always looks nice and is easy to wash and dry. If you are looking for fluffy, it is not. There isn't a great color selection; I got white and it never looks dirty. My daughter got the gray, but it is a very dark gray. The brand is Southern Living.

I don't have any chrome suggestions for your other items, but don't think a decent quality chrome should rust. If you have a Home Goods nearby, they usually have a decent selection.

I use these by LL Bean, not sure if that's what you had in mind. They are functional, not gorgeous. Only very slightly heavier than a bath towel, they wash and dry in the same load with those. No puckering, shrinking, and mine are white so go into a hot water load of white towels - and sometimes with bleach.

My floors are vintage 6x6 tile, no slips or falls but I think it's safe to say we are 'aware' when stepping out of the shower. Not timid or overly cautious, but aware. I'd been thinking of getting them for my mothers senior apartment for easier laundry, but she's almost 89 and I wonder if she shouldn't stay with the no-slip backing.

I use mats made from terrycloth, nothing fancy. After a shower or bath it's hung either over the shower door or side of the tub. Been doing this for years. I also use decorator rugs, but they're in front of the sinks only, and in the MB, a larger one centered on the floor.

I just about gave up on bath mats...it seemed like the rubber backed were all synthetic and didn't absorb or feel good on my feet. The all cotton reversible ones wouldn't lay flat - the shape always seemed to go out of square after they were dried....even the better brands.

I finally just bit the bullet and bought a really pricey Abyss & Habidecor all cotton mat with a nice subtle pattern. It's so thick and heavy that it stays where it's put - the backing seems to just be part of the weave, cottony mesh-like but not slick. It's not reversible, washes and dries like a dream and looks brand new 6 years later. I really would recommend, if your budget allows, to look at a theirs or similar. It's like heaven underfoot.

I can't speak from experience, but I remember looking at the Ginger's brand accessories - they seemed to be high quality and think they are well reviewed.

ETA, I just remembered I bought one of the HERS mats from Pottery Barn for by my tub and I really like it, too. I would guess their other mats are similar.

His and Hers mats

I'm with Morz8. I only use the kind that are like towels. Put it down when taking a shower, and hang it over the rod when you're done so that it dries.

Also highly recommend getting a arc'd curtain rod if you're replacing yours. Its amazing the difference they make.

This might be a good one. It's not telescoping, so you don't have that catch where the two rods meet in the middle that the curtain rings can get caught on. Rather, you can cut the ends if you have to adjust the size. Make sure you do get the one with the right length, though.

Frontgate has a Chrome shower caddy that looks quite nice. We will be remodeling the MB soon and will probably have built in niches but if I wasn't remodeling I would be ordering the shower caddy in a flash!

Frontgate also has really lovely bath mats though I can't speak to quality as I too use a towel type bath mat.

I'm in the towel-like bathmat camp. Must be white. Mine don't slip around or get that wet, but while I'm squeegeeing the tiles I guess a lot of water is dripping off and back into the tub. I hang mine over the edge of the tub to dry and sometimes just leave it on the floor. It always manages to dry. I've never had undue shredding or falling apart and the mats get washed as frequently as towels. Restoration Hardware's bathmats are very rugged. hee hee

My bath mats are from Ikea, called Nachten or something like that. They are very flat, do not slip, white, functional and not especially pretty. Zero fluff-tight weave. I never worry about slipping. Utilitarian. Once I found them I never again looked for bathmats. They launder well. There is no lint in the dryer. I buy them a dozen at a time for each house in case they ever stop making them. Oh yeah, they cost $2 or $3 each.

Thanks everyone! I will take a look at all of these.

We use the towel bath mat type to. I'm the only one who will think of hanging over the edge of the tub so it usuallys stays on the floor.

Most of us who frequent the bath forum have the Moen curved shower rod from BB&B for $40. I haven't heard one complaint about rusting. If you get the roller ball rings, they glide over the seam. I have the double hook rings that look like a 1960s flip hair-do. I use a polyester liner and a decorative outer curtain. It's quick and easy to remove the curtains.

I have an Abyss & Habidecor rug (Trellis) that was ridiculously expensive (although I got it with a million different sales and coupons applied, which brought it down to just plain expensive), but is very luxurious and wears really well (I've had it for about 3 years). It washes great, and feels great on the feet. Ours is in front of the vanity. We have a different, cheaper rug/mat right outside the shower - bought it for feel and color at BB&B. The color is great, but it hasn't worn well.

Seconding IKEA! I have dark grey bath mats from IKEA. Non-slip backs but not the kind that crumble. Have stood up to frequent washing in hot water, don't get matted down from use and are dirt cheap. I actually bought a couple extra in case they ever discontinue them.

I bought two of the Ikea Ramskar bath mats and the seams on both of them came unraveled very quickly. I'm so disappointed because I really like the mats.

I'm confused. I dry myself before I get out of the shower. Do you all get out of the shower dripping wet? I have a small (for a small bathroom) rug that I step out onto but I'm dry by that time.

I have a variety of bathmats (sorry I can't remember where they came from). The one in use stays on the floor (because I'm also the only one that would hang it on the tub edge). The rest are in the linen closet. Every time I wash a load of towels the bath mats go to. I step out of the shower onto the mat and then dry myself (can't believe what I tell strangers on the internet LOL).

I don't mean to highjack... Mayflowers, what do you think of this one (I was thinking when we re-do the bathroom I might like this one http://www.rotatorrod.com/

I recently ordered the cotton reversible bath rug from Grandinroad. I love it. I had an old similar mat that was worn out (and dingy) and didn't want white again either. Their colors are true to what is shown IMO. I ordered latte. The rugs are very heavy and I would recommend washing and drying at least 3 times to get the initial finish off. It will shed in the dryer a good bit at first but you should expect that with any cotton product. It stays in place, remarkably. Probably because it is heavy.

I'd say a Microfibre Bath Mat would be best as these don't shed and will last a long time, this bath mat is the one I have and I love it

I think you could try this bath mat https://amzn.to/46LDJw3, it's very absorbent (at least the best of any bath mat I've ever used) and dries quickly, it should solve your problem.
