Double vanity bathrooms and elongated master baths need floor coverage that handles moisture, splashes, and humidity. CloudMat's smaller sizes—the 3'×5' ($59) and 5'×7' ($99)—work perfectly for bathroom layouts, providing cushioned comfort and machine-washable convenience where standard bath mats fall short.
Designed for Wet Environments
Bathrooms are inherently wet spaces. Water splashes from sinks, drips from showers, and humidity saturates the air. Any floor covering must handle this moisture without becoming a breeding ground for mould or mildew.
CloudMat bathroom runners feature machine-washable covers that can be cleaned and dried frequently, preventing the musty odours that plague traditional bath mats. Regular washing keeps your bathroom runner fresh and hygienic.
Washable means sanitary. In wet bathrooms, this distinction matters.
Safety on Wet Floors
Bathroom slips are a leading cause of home injuries. Wet feet on smooth flooring create dangerous conditions that worsen with age. Proper bathroom rugs provide both traction and cushioning to reduce fall risks.
CloudMat bathroom runners feature non-slip rubber backing that grips tile and stone floors securely, even when wet. The 3cm cushioned foam also provides a softer landing surface, reducing injury severity if slips do occur.
Non-slip backing is not a luxury feature. In bathrooms, it is essential safety equipment.
3Sizing for Bathroom Layouts
Bathroom runners work best in spaces with elongated layouts. Position runners along double vanities, between the vanity and tub, or in front of walk-in showers. The narrow profile fits bathroom proportions without overwhelming the space.
For double vanities, choose a runner that extends most of the vanity length, stopping 3-4 inches from each end. This provides coverage where you stand while leaving visual breathing room at the edges.
Match your runner to your bathroom's proportions for a polished, intentional look.
Style Options for Bathroom Decor
Bathroom runners come in styles ranging from spa-like neutrals to bold statement patterns. Consider your existing bathroom palette when choosing. Light, neutral runners create a calm, spa atmosphere while darker or patterned options add visual interest.
In bathrooms, lighter colours can work well since the machine-washable design allows frequent cleaning. However, mid-tones remain the most forgiving choice for busy family bathrooms.
Choose colours that complement your fixtures and create the bathroom ambiance you want.

Expert tips for placing and styling your rug
Room-by-Room Placement
Center your rug under the coffee table with all seating touching or on the rug. For open floor plans, use the rug to define the conversation area.
Place a large rug under the bed extending 2-3 feet on each side, or use runners on either side for a cozy morning landing spot.
Ensure the rug extends 24-30 inches beyond the table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.
A padded CloudMat in the center creates a safe play zone. Position away from cribs but close to seating areas for tummy time.
Color & Pattern Matching
Bold patterned or richly colored rugs add personality. Try geometric patterns or saturated jewel tones as focal points.
Solid neutral rugs in cream, grey, or beige provide visual rest and prevent the space from feeling overwhelming.
Abstract patterns or minimalist solid rugs in muted tones complement clean lines and contemporary furniture.
Oriental patterns, medallions, or classic motifs in warm colors enhance heritage and antique furniture pieces.
Pro Designer Tips
- •When in doubt, size up. An undersized rug is the #1 decorating mistake.
- •Use painters tape to mock up dimensions before purchasing.
- •Layer rugs for added texture - place a smaller patterned rug over a larger neutral base.
- •Rotate your rug 180° every 6 months to ensure even wear and sun exposure.

Buying Guide
Selecting a bathroom rug requires attention to moisture resistance, safety features, and sizing.
Selecting a bathroom rug requires attention to moisture resistance, safety features, and sizing. CloudMat's 3'×5' and 5'×7' sizes work well for most bathroom layouts.
CloudMat Sizes for Bathrooms
For double vanities and elongated master baths, the 5'×7' ($99) provides generous coverage. For smaller bathrooms or targeted placement in front of showers, the 3'×5' ($59) offers the same washable comfort in a more compact format. All sizes feature 3cm cushioning and non-slip rubber backing.
Moisture and Mould Considerations
Traditional bath mats trap moisture and develop mould over time. Look for runners with quick-drying materials and machine-washable designs. CloudMat's removable covers dry quickly and can be washed frequently to prevent moisture problems.
Safety Feature Checklist
Essential safety features include non-slip backing that grips wet tile, flat edges that will not curl and cause tripping, and substantial enough weight to stay in place. Avoid runners requiring separate pads in bathroom environments.
Maintenance in Humid Environments
Bathroom runners need more frequent washing than rugs in other rooms. Plan to wash every 1-2 weeks, more often in high-use bathrooms. Hang to dry completely before returning to the bathroom to prevent mildew.
