Bath mat 60×90 Purple Cotton Hyacinth Violet

Purple-violet cotton with a plain long pile, no pattern and no binding. Noticeably darker than the lavender polyester, this reads as a saturated colour rather than a pastel.

Violet in cotton comes out noticeably darker and denser than the lavender polyester — this is a saturated colour, not a pastel. It looks good in a bathroom with white tiles and chrome, where one dark accent on the floor is wanted. Do not combine it with pink or lilac textiles: near-identical shades in one room read as a failed attempt to match.

Cotton is valued in a bathroom for absorbency: the natural fibre takes water into itself rather than spreading it over the floor, so the area underfoot stays dry after a shower. The second property is softness — a cotton loop is kinder to a bare foot than synthetics.

Washing every two or three weeks at 40 °C is enough; in between, shake the mat out and let it dry. Bleach and drying on a hot radiator both shorten the life of the pile.

The same line also has Birch and White. The remaining models are in the bath mats category.
