Part of successfully decorating a bathroom to meet your needs is including those elements that reflect your very personal style. When it comes to bathrooms, there are high-end renovations such as those that require construction - including the replacement of vanities, toilets, tiles, bathtubs, and showers. But many homeowners may be surprised by how more aesthetic - and far less expensive - changes, such as towels, artwork, shower curtain, and a bathroom rug, will go a long way towards transforming the look of your bathroom.

A bathroom rug because of its versatility and affordability is one of the easiest accessories to use in the transformation of a bathroom. Rugs of this kind come in a variety of shapes, colors, and textures; one can be always be found to complement the style of your bathroom.

For many, the purchase of a bathroom rug is the very last thing they do in the renovation of a bathroom; but if you are working within a restricted budget, keep in mind that it can be one of the only things you do in the renovation of your bathroom. Not much carries as much visual impact as this small item.

There are many ways in which to integrate a bathroom rug into your overall bathroom design. You may have a unified theme in your bathroom - floral, Asian, seaside, or any number of children's themes for a child's bathroom - that can be accented with a similarly themed rug; you may wish to complement the overall tone of the room - Victorian, country, traditional, eclectic, and antique - with a well chosen bathroom rug.

A warmly colored bathroom with ceramic tile may be best complemented by a soft, warm colored rug; a contemporary designed bathroom may benefit from a strong colored bathroom rug that's less plush and more textured. The prices also vary greatly so keep budget in mind when searching for your ideal bathroom rug; but in many cases, you can find a beautiful and complementary bathroom rug for under $50.

In addition to form, the bathroom rug provides its own share of function as well. A rug can provide warmth on an otherwise chilly floor; there's nothing worse than stepping out of a shower onto a cold, hard floor. A bathroom rug also provides protection for the floor or carpet underneath it - sheltering it from water damage.

Another added convenience of a bathroom rug is its availability. Rugs can be found in any number of retail stores, home improvement stores, and even online for the ease of shopping right from your home and having your merchandise shipped straight to your door.

A bathroom is a very personal space; that which offers refuge and comfort in a world where we are rarely left in peace. But in order to maximize the power and effect your bathroom space can have in your life, its decor must reflect the style that is unique you. Don't hold back when it comes to adding your personal touches to your bathroom - including the addition of a bathroom rug. The result will be a room that reveals your style to visitors and envelops you in comfort and familiarity.
