Remodelista Reconnaissance: A Self-Referential Bath Mat for Kids and Non-Kids
The freshest bath I’ve seen in a long while belongs to a few lucky kids living in a redone house in London. With its summery, nostalgic palette of cream, pale yellow, and cherry red, I’d happily move right in.
In the meantime, though (and considering it’s already occupied), I zeroed in on a charming detail I can add to my own bath at home—no need to move across the pond.
The Sighting
Above: The mat in question: a charmingly labeled cloth in a children’s bath. It’s alongside a sunny painted bathtub in A Derelict East London Terrace Reimagined by Côte de Folk; photograph by Christopher Horwood for Côte de Folk.

The Source
Above: Behold: The mat is the Hand-Loomed Recycled Yarn Bath Mat by Japanese brand Puebco (founding ethos: “the most interesting materials are those that already have a life behind them”). The bath mat is $34 and available in light gray (shown), navy blue, and white.
