I’m so excited to share a simple master bathroom update with you all today! Soon after we moved into our home (almost 6 years ago.. can’t believe it has been that long!) I bought these mint green bathroom rugs for our master bathroom. I took this picture a couple of years but today at this moment, my once fuzzy, soft rugs are really starting to show some wear and tear. I knew I wanted some new bathroom rugs and have been hunting for the perfect solution for a while now. I’ve been looking for three things:
1 – I wanted something neutral this time around. I love coral and mint, but these two colors combined in our master bathroom always felt a little too Easter eggish to me. Ha. :)
2 – I wanted a round rug. This bathroom has a lot of square/rectangle straight lines. From the tub molding to the marble floor to the mirrors.. I knew a round rug would soften this space.
3 – I wanted something large. I love the look of my marble floor, but if I was building again I would put in tile or marble in a small pattern. Just being honest.. these marble floors show everything. Water spots! I mean.. what bathroom doesn’t get water on the floor!? I wanted a large rug to cover and protect as much of the floor as possible.
I found the best solution for this room and seriously couldn’t love it more! It’s this round jute rug (from the same Flower Home Walmart line as my dishes) and it’s beautiful! And SO soft. And every time I walk into my bathroom I fall in love with it a little more.
It’s a little different for this space and that’s part of what I love about it. Isn’t the floral and swirl pattern pretty!? And the natural shade of this particular rug is perfection. Did I mention it was on sale for just 79 bucks! It comes in a larger size too. (This is the 5′)
I especially love how well it ties in with all of my neutral bathtub shelf decor I’ve had for years.
Once I had the neutral rug I wanted to take a break from my coral towels so I ordered these pretty grey cotton towels.
Perfect with my paint!
Such simple changes and suddenly this bathroom feels all grown up! No more bunny ears included. ;)
I showed my friend this rug when she was over and we were chatting one day and she fell in love with it too! She is just getting settled in a new to her home so I picked up my new rug and we took it over to her house to try it out..
Ahhh! So good right!? We both fell in love with this rug all over again in her entry. Perfection! Needless to say we are now rug twins for life. :)
You know the movie “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?” (My husband’s all time favorite movie to make fun of with all sorts of sarcasm.) This rug reminds me of that movie. Just like a good pair of pants that magically fit every body type, this rug looks good in every home.. in every space.
Try it in yours.. you’ll see.
Kenny.. if you’re reading, this post is dedicated to you and your all time favorite movie.
;)

1 – Crochet Shower Set 2 – Woven Hyacinth Basket 3 – PTM Round Metal Mirror 4 – Botanical Bath Towel Set
5 – Round Jute Rug 6 – Decorative Throw Pillow 7 – Safavieh Glass Lamp 8 – Lafayette Night Stand

Congrats on the new cool looking rug. It looks amazing in that space. How lucky for you that it coordinates so well with the other decor! And how fun that it works in your friend’s space. That’s a sign of a great friend. One who will pull up the rug off the floor to try it in another space. Would you believe I’ve not read the Sisterhood books, nor have I seen the movie? Come join me under that rock there on the left. ;) Thanks for sharing., Erin!
Oh you’re sweet Jeanne! I’d pull a rug over to your house any day too. ;) And don’t stress about not having seen that movie. My husband will tell you that you aren’t missing much.. ha. ;) Thanks for stopping by and saying hi today! xo
Love the rug! How does it hold up with water since it’s in your bathroom?
Hi Ingrid! Isn’t it fun!? I just answered that same question above! Here is a repeat of what I said.. :)
So far it has been great! I’ve only had the rug a few weeks and I don’t splash much when I use the tub, but my son showers in our bathroom all the time while I get ready and he has been on the rug a lot wet.. so far it hasn’t been a problem at all! I’ll try to share an update on that in another month or two.. it’s still so new! But loving it so far. :)
How does a rug like this hold up to water? I absolutely love the look of it in the bathroom but I worry that it would not hold up to the constant water spills from my children in the bathtub lol! Can you share your experience with the water and the rug?
I was worried about that too Lynn but so far it has been great! I’ve only had the rug a few weeks and I don’t splash much when I use the tub, but my son showers in our bathroom all the time while I get ready and he has been on the rug a lot wet.. so far it hasn’t been a problem at all! I’ll try to share an update on that in another month or two.. it’s still so new! But loving it so far. :)
I love your blog! We are currently remodeling our entire main floor, kitchen and all! I often look at your blog for inspiration. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents. I am wondering what brand or where you got your door knobs and plates. I wanted something different than traditional knobs in my “new” house. Thanks, again!
So sweet of you Lynette! Thank you! I got all of my door hardware from Emtek! They have so many fun options. Congrats on your remodel! SO exciting! xo
Love those towels! I guess I need to go to Walmart. I love the rug. Back In the late 70 ‘s I had two of those. Back then I hung them on my walls. Money was tight back then in my first apartment so I put them on the wall as artwork. Ha Ha! Nice to see they have made a come back. When I saw it on your floor i loved it all over again. They really add nice texture to a room.
I love that creative idea Noreen! Great way to decorate on a budget! They have definitely made a comeback and seriously Walmart is stepping up their home decor game big time. I love ordering things on-line there! I was so happy with the quality of the towels too. Thank you! Happy you like it all! :) xo
I love that round jute rug! I’ve been eyeing one like it from World Market for our entryway. I’m just not sure if it will go well since our floor is engineered flooring of a similar color as the rug.
Aren’t they fun!? Maybe one to keep the receipt and try! :)
Love the update Erin! As always, your styling is on point!
How quickly has time gone – 6 years since you moved in!? I would love to read on the blog of anything you and your family would do differently to your home, if you were building it again today (ie changes to the floorplan; things you thought would be great but now doesn’t work/flow etc). Or, perhaps there is nothing! To me, your home is perfect! xx
Hi Kathryn! So sweet of you! Right!? I seriously can’t believe it has been 6 years since we moved in. Kole was only 3! That is such a great idea for a blog post! I’m writing that down. Definitely a few things we would do differently.. no major issues, but there are always little things you would tweak or add or change the next time around! I’ll try to share that in a post this Fall. :) Thank you! xo
