Maximalist Bath Mats Are Still Trending — And We Love These Chic Amazon Finds

As Cold Picnic co-founder Phoebe Sung told TZR back in 2021, there’s a good reason statement bath mats are so in demand right now. “The bathroom can be the most difficult room in the house to make feel like home, but it’s also one of the most important rooms,” she explained. “And in many bathrooms you can’t paint the walls or move furniture around; you can’t fill it with neat furniture or artwork or plants.” That has left the humble rug as one of the sole pieces with which to decorate in the space, giving shoppers all the more incentive to invest in a bathroom mat that’s truly chic.

Fortunately, there’s no shortage of options in that category. The absorbent floor covering has become more stylish than ever, and now even has Instagram-famous status pieces of its own. With all of that said, though, you hardly want to spend an arm and a leg on this item — after all, it’s doomed to be a perpetually soggy, badly treated piece of fabric that sits underfoot, no matter how chic. So don’t get sucked in and succumb to the pressure of social media and its perfect bathroom scenes; you can easily find an affordable option that packs in just as much style without a hefty price tag.

One of the best sources for those? Amazon, of course, which TZR has raided to find some of the trendiest bath mats out there. To see our favorite budget-friendly picks from the site (and, OK, a few splurges just for fun), scroll on ahead.
