We're always on the hunt for small ways to make our homes feel more elevated. If you're renting, the chances are things like wall colours and big ticket furniture items aren't always in your control, and so it falls to soft furnishings to make a room feel like your own.
And while we're already all over cushions and bedding (we're particular fans of reversible sets for two for the price of one!), have you considered a new bath mat recently? A bathroom can sometimes feel like a neglected area of your home, but it only takes a few small upgrades to give it some personality and style.
Our go-to place is George at Asda, thanks to their trend-led designs and affordable pricing, which often look like their more high end alternatives but for a fraction of the price.
Take this bath mat for example, which ticks off loads of current trends thanks to its geometric pattern, and mix of burgundy and dusty pink, which leans into an autumn colour palette while also looking fresh.
The product is made from 100% cotton and costs just £10, despite looking way more expensive than that. And the best part is? The charming pattern also has a matching hand towel set, if you want to deck your wh0le bath or shower room out with it.
Love!
