Carpet in the bathroom? You bet! Our expert shares advice on flooring options that are powder-room friendly.
When choosing the right flooring for a bathroom, there’s more to keep in mind than personal style. Some very specific factors come into play: Is your flooring, for instance, impervious to water?

Carpet: Many people think that carpet isn’t a reasonable option for potentially waterlogged bathrooms. However, all you need to do is make some careful choices. As long as your carpet is water-, mildew- and stain-resistant — with a backing that doesn’t allow water to seep into the pad — you’re good to go. And it’s worth looking for options within those parameters. Not only does carpet provide softness and warmth underfoot, but the color and pattern options are practically limitless, too.
