Portugal: The Heart of Luxury Textile Craftsmanship

Portugal's rich textile history dates back to the late 18th century, with a legacy of craftsmanship and artistry that continues today. Abyss Habidecor and Graccioza are two premium manufacturers that have defined the prestigious Portuguese textile industry for nearly half a century. Under the visionary guidance of Celso de Lemos, Abyss Habidecor transforms the finest Egyptian Giza cotton and other premium materials into exquisite bath linens. Similarly, Graccioza has pursued its founding mission since 1974: producing the world's finest bath textiles by combining exceptional European design, cutting-edge manufacturing technology, and superior raw materials.

These distinguished companies represent Portugal's textile artistry at its finest -- where meticulous attention to detail, superior materials, and generations of expertise converge to create bath rugs of unparalleled luxury and quality.

Must rugs offer the widest range of colors to coordinate with solid Abyss bath towels, including Super Pile, Twill, Pousada, and Lodge. The Habidecor Must Bath Rug feels soft, sumptuous, and so inviting you will savor every second you stand on it. We love the ability to style a bathroom with more than one Must rug. Put one in front of the shower and one in front of the sink, or two small rugs in front of a double sink. Must rugs need not be confined to the bath; use them as an accent rug in the bedroom, hallway, closet, or other adjacent spaces.

Graccioza Egoist Bath Rugs

This means Graccioza Egoist rugs stay fresh in even warm, humid conditions, which is a consideration if your bath is not well ventilated or you live in a humid climate. The generous range of standard size options, including a runner, make it easy to style any space or accessorize with multiple Egoist rugs.

Comparing Abyss Habidecor Must with Graccioza Egoist Rugs

Choosing a Luxury Bath Rug: Abyss Habidecor Must or Graccioza Egoist?

Deciding between Abyss Habidecor Must and Graccioza Egoist bath rugs comes down to personal preference and, of course, what brand and style towels you prefer. Similar to Abyss towel collections, Must rugs come in the widest range of shades and are dyed to preserve deep, intense hues you'll find in the Abyss palette. Graccioza Egoist rugs are a bit thicker and come in a narrower range of around 30 shades to complement Egoist towels. However, Egoist rugs (and towels) are specially treated to resist bacteria, mold, and fungus, which can be an important feature in warm, humid spaces like the bathroom. The bottom line is that there is no bad choice; you will absolutely love either style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Wash My Luxury Bath Rugs?

In most cases, you can machine wash your bathroom rug. Read your rug's specific care guidelines before washing. Sort your rugs by color and size. Don't overload your washing machine; we recommend a front-loading machine even if it means a trip to the laundromat. Use a mild detergent like Heritage Park All-Purpose Laundry Detergent which is made to clean luxury textiles without causing damage. Give the rug a gentle shake to remove excess water as you remove it from the machine. Tumble dry your rug on LOW HEAT ONLY if care guidelines permit. Stop the dryer periodically to "fluff" the rug. Never use bleach or fabric softener.

How Many Bath Rugs Do I Need?

The answer depends on your space, but think beyond just one bath mat outside your shower. Evin in smaller bathrooms, multiple bathroom rugs can transform your space. Consider placing accent rugs in front of vanities (two for double sinks), using a round rug as a centerpiece in a larger bathroom, positioning a plush option in front of a spa, or extending your style with a hallway runner leading to an ensuite bath. Don't limit yourself to the bathroom floor -- these versatile textiles with their exceptional absorbency and texture work beautifully as accent rugs in bedrooms, dressing rooms, or closets, and can even be custom-sized as an area rug to add warmth over a tile floor. Feel free to experiment with complementary colors and sizes, coordinating with your bath towels and overall home decor to create cohesive, luxurious spaces that reflect your personal style.

How Can I Create a Cohesive Bathroom Style?

When designing a cohesive bathroom style, start with high-quality solid towels as your foundation -- they offer timeless elegance and versatility. For large bathrooms, consider how bath accessories like matching soap dishes, tissue holders, and wastebaskets can create visual continuity throughout the space. Premium bath rugs not only provide comfort on cold tile floors but also serve as design elements that can either complement your solid towels or introduce a tasteful pattern that enhances your overall aesthetic. Remember that in spacious bathrooms, thoughtfully placed rugs can define zones and add warmth to expansive tile floors, while coordinated bath accessories in complementary materials (marble, wood, or ceramic) will elevate the entire space with a sense of intentional design.
