Ditch Boring Bath Mats and Replace with Ravishing Rugs

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Who said that you have to use a fuzzy wuzzy bath mat in your bathroom?  Some of them are comfy to the feet and match your decor (”match” is not a term I like to use; things coordinate or complement each other but if they “match” you are headed down the Garanimal trail) but let’s face it, they have their shortcomings.  They are less than stylish, they can slip out from under you (I totally don’t understand the ones that do not have a rubber bottom), and they are pretty expensive for a boring solid-colored puddle of fuzz.  Break free of the predictable with irresistible, colorful designer rugs!

Some wool for thought:

  1. Replace two little bath mats with one long, graceful Oriental runner in front of your double sinks.
  2. Select a captivating oval or round design in front of your jacuzzi tub.
  3. Ditch the kitchen sink mat and replace with a vibrant Persian rug.  Don’t worry about spills.  Patterned rugs hide a multitude of sins.

Plus:

Wool is durable, hypoallergenic, fire retardant, dust mite repellent, stain repellent and it just feels good!

Jazz up some otherwise overlooked spots with a great-looking rug!

The Rugman is having a Summer Clearance that ends in 2 weeks.  Rugs up to 70% off!

This Smoke Blue Crackle Swan Table Lamp from Bellacor ($183 plus free shipping) would look great on an end table or bedside table.

Every once in a while I dive into My Secret Database and check out the clearance sections to see what little treasures I can unearth for you.  Today I have some great deals and steals from Bellacor that are all under $200.  Here are 3 items that have big style impact for a low price.

The Symphony Side Table in Antique Black ($150 plus free shipping) is a stylish side table to put beside your favorite reading chair.

The thing I really like about Bellacor is that they make it easy to shop and compare.  When you create an online account you can add items to your wish list, sort items by room for convenience, and then save your wish list.  This gives you some extra time to consider your options.  When you come back later (after going to the gym, work, grocery shopping and taking the dog to the vet) everything will be there waiting for you.

 

This rug is a perfect foundation for the blue and white room you have been dying for.  (6.5′ x 9.5′ for $151.00 plus free shipping)

When you look in their clearance section make sure you scroll down for the best deal.  They offer a limited number of items at the “clearance price” but also offer the item at the regular price higher up on the page.  If you are not careful you may unwittingly pay a higher price for the same thing.

Don’t wait to act because stock is limited.  Shop Bellacor now!
