17 Easy DIY Bathroom Mats That Are Stylish And Cozy

Every bathroom needs a bath mat, don’t you agree? We collected just about the best DIY bathroom mats you can make right here! If you’ve never gone without a bathroom mat before, you really wouldn’t want to. After almost a year with a bath mat, you might not find it surprising for me to say it was a total mess.

It was quite stupid of us not to get another bathroom mat after the previous ones were ruined but after going without bath mats for such a long time, it’s the presence or lack thereof is felt.

Every single time someone took a shower, the floor would be wet and it felt uncomfortable to spend time in the bathroom after that.

So, while we were in the process (and mood) for a good weekend DIY project, we decided to make our very own bath mats from the supplies we already had in the house.
