Easy updates: 6 machine washable bathroom rugs

One of the top home trends of 2016 is to make every room in the house a bit more inviting. The first step in achieving that goal, especially in the winter months, is to warm each space up.

Start with the bathroom. If you’re standing on a cold tile floor or a threadbare rug while you brush your teeth, it’s time to warm up those toes. Find a soft, cushioned rug to add both visual interest and warmth. And to make your life a bit easier? Look for a machine washable rug.
