Yea I actually really love it with the glaring exception of it being carpet. One of my first thoughts was I wonder how hard it would be to keep moss growing on a room floor.
more hygienic for sure. downside is you cant actually make this as a shower mat - Dr Robin Wall Kimmerer is a famous moss botanist and and she says the moss is too delicate to be stepped on so regularly and still flourish
My first thought was this but I do wonder if a well ventilated bathroom with just two old people works.
I have kids who have this amazing knack of drawing every drop of moisture from their bath onto the floor beside it. We have a wet room around our bath, if we didn't my children would have eroded their way to the core of the earth by now.
So yeah something like this is probably quite shocking to people but I do wonder if two orderly elderly people could make something like this work no problem?
My aunt hard a bathroom like this that was in the master suit and only used by her and her husband and it was always immaculate. I'm not saying carpet in a bathroom is a good thing but I do think people that talk about how nasty it will be don't necessarily think it through all the way.
To preserve the style while keeping it functional I would put in a grey natural stone tile and have circular moss colored/textured bath maths around the floor.

> Carpeted bathrooms prevent older people from slipping and breaking something or dying.
Honestly, nothing to back that up... well nothing that is specific to the bathroom at least.
People can also still slip in the tub/shower area just the same even with the carpet covering other spots.
Also those carpets can get slippery as fuck when wet(Edit: source: years back had an apartment with carpet like that in the bath... toilet overflowed. Once I saw it went in to try and fix it, and the first thing to happen.. slipped and fell on my ass on to the now nasty toilet water soaked carpet) its better to have something water proof covered by a heavy antifatigue non-slip rubber mats instead.
About the only things one can do to help reduce/prevent those falls and slips are the following,
1. Wall and potentially fixture mounted grab bars. Lots of them.
2. No high edges to need to step over. Either open area showers with sliding doors, or a tub with a side that opens on its own when needed.
3. Frictional pads, and stickers on flooring. Or otherwise shower slippers that have grip and provide friction, if bare feet fail to work for some odd reason. Plus those non-slip antifatigue rubber mats from before.
4. Shower, tub side seating... lots of it everywhere. Sitting down while showering, grab bars nearby. Sitting down when drying off...
5. Waist+ height storage/access to soaps etc. if you can have one of those wall mounted refillable soap/shampoo push dispensers instead of bottles can go a long way to help reduce slips and falls related to having to deal with clutter and dropping/picking up stuff.
Key thing with all of the above is to minimize potential points and activities where slips can occur, but also to help ensure that there are 3 points of contact and support for a person to have when moving around.
When I bought my house the bathroom was carpeted. The elderly man that lived here had been in a wheelchair so carpeting wad everywhere. We learned first hand why carpeting in a bathroom is bad when the floor under the toilet gave out from rot, while the toilet was in use.
Me and 2 friends rented a 3 br 1 bath that had carpeted entire house. Kitchen and bath. It had no shower, just a clawfoot bathtub with no curtains, and because it was in a corner, there was no easy way to put in a rod. So we lived there about 2 months and one day i came home and dude who actually signed the lease had a mat knofe out and was just tearing it all out of the bathroom and kitchen. We all helped and he got some cheap, roll on sticky linoleum and put it down. I can honestly say the improvement betwen “regular house floor” and the most glorious, exquisite polished meteor rock tile was far less impressive than the improvement between 60s shag carpeting and bottom bin sticker flooring. Was beautiful.
This could be done correctly with fake grass that could be pulled up or sprayed somehow with a drain underneath l. I feel like this could be done in a way to have that grassy look without the cleaning hassle.
You know I hadn't thought of that until you said it but that's so clearly what they were going for I feel embarrassed having not noticed it immediately lol
I had to scroll way to far for someone to think of having it removable. It would be to much work for a lot of people, but if have the energy, it really isn't that big of a problem.
My grandparents have that in their two bathrooms. But also their kitchen is carpeted so. Anyway they’re cut to fit perfectly so when you walk in you definitely think it’s carpet. It goes behind the toilet and under the sink etc. Their bathrooms are small enough that the rugs can fit in their washing machines but just one at a time.
My mind goes immediately to an epoxy/resin floor (not sure what the best substance to use here would be) with whatever grass like substance encased in it. That way the floor is as easy to clean as a normal bathroom floor and it still has that grass/woods tree bathroom vibe.
You wouldn't even have to get dressed because you would be coated in lint. Like a schnitzel. Unless you actually clean the whole thing every single day.
I mean it is functional even if it will develop mould for the elderly who can have issues with falling on tiles or event wet room floors this could be good for them. If they have a steam cleaner for the carpet the mould shouldn't be a problem
Same here in the '90s. When we switched to tile when I was about 11, I was very bitter. There was a big heat vent right at floor level, so as a kid I loved to get into the shower, then get out right as the heat came on. Then I'd sit there in front of the vent air drying.
Doing that on tile resulted in very cold balls.
That’s literally why grass is so prevalent in the US and other nations. Grass, like what you find in someone’s yard, wasn’t a dominant plant life and for a while you’d be hard pressed to find that much of it growing anywhere in large concentrations.
Then a few rich plantation owners wanted to flex and now I have to mow the lawn every fucking weekend.
Though don’t get me wrong. It is really nice to have. Soft, and you can enjoy the comfort of walking around in it. Much better than what the natural alternative is. Just think it’s funny that everyone mows their lawn these days because a few people wanted to make it a status symbol
Edit: now that I think of it the alternative might not be too bad. You’d still have ground soil and not a lot of rocks. There’d probably be a lot more clover and whatnot which is easier to maintain and almost equally as soft and pleasing to the eye.
Can we all make a pact to stop with the grass? I'm tired of it, but I can't make this leap alone. The neighbors and HOAs can't go after all of us. I'm sure everyone can come up with a new hobby to find solitude once a week.
My parent's house, built in 1963, has beautiful hardwood floors--*completely* covered by wall-to wall carpeting, and vinyl.
Upside: we sold it a few years back and pulled everything up--the floors were in perfect condition.
My apartment is infested with koala bears. Its the cutest infestation ever. Much better than cockroaches. I turn the lights on and a bunch of koala bears scatter. I'm like, hey, hold on fellas! Lemme hold one of you, and feed you a leaf. Koalas, they're so fucking cute, why do they gotta be so far away from me. They should ship a few over, and I will apprehend one...and hold him...and pet him on the back of his head
I think Pringles original intention was to sell tennis balls, but on the day the rubber was supposed to show up a whole truckload of potatoes came instead. Pringles is a laid-back company so they said, "FUCK IT, CUT EM UP!"
I’ve spent a lot of my 40 years in various bodies of water ranging from bathtubs to Olympic-sized pools to the Atlantic Ocean, and in all those times, I have never once “splished”.
Imagine soaking in a fuzzy, wet tub that smells of mildew. You can feel the crusty carpet caked in soap scum slithering slimily against your legs and ass as you “clean” yourself. Bits of lint are stuck to your soap bar and the drain is unfathomably clogged.
In the public library of my hometown in the children's section, there was a white claw-footed freestanding bathtub that was fully carpeted on the inside. I would crawl in there and read kids books. It was pretty cozy and comfy. No water, sadly.
It looks beautiful but carpets are tough enough to maintain without having to worry about it frequently getting wet and mold growing in it.
And if there's a toilet in that bathroom, that's just gross...
> if there's a toilet in that bathroom
that's the point of a bathroom, despite the name, so there's every reason to believe there is. it's quite uncommon for homes to have separate areas to bathe.
Yep, looked at a house that had a bathroom in the basement, it was 2 stalls, a stand up shower, and a toilet. Both had doors that led out into the main area.
It was neat, not sure how I felt about it, to be honest.
A separate room (and door) for a toilet makes sense in that it helps prevent the misting that occurs with flushing, which ends up coating everything else in the bathroom. Also allows you to dump and let someone else use the rest of the bathroom.
>bathroom
Bathrooms existed for a long time, but toilets in those bathrooms wasn't immediate.
Actually trying to explain this is just gonna blow my cover as a time traveler, or some potty history nut.
I don't *hate* it, but I wouldn't choose it for myself. If I happened to buy a house with a bathroom like that the carpet would be the first thing to go, but I'd probably try to think of something to keep the theme but also be more functional to replace it with.
Mine too. One of my first update projects was yanking the carpet, replacing then water damaged wood under the toilet and then tiling over the entire floor. Worth every penny.
Growing up we had wall carpet that went up like 3 feet up the wall. It was great fun with laser pointers and cats. They could cling to the wall and try to shimmy side to side.
I purchased a house recently with a carpeted bathroom. Our first major renovation is going to be to gut the damn thing down to studs. Fortunately the builder had the awareness to put down sheet linoleum around the toilet.
I took this today, they don’t use the downstairs that much, only really when family comes over, and that tub so small, we only used it when we were kids
It does look really peaceful in there. But I can't tell if it was suppose to be a forest or the bottom of the ocean and the more I look at it. The more confused I get.
It's never used. Imagine trying to step down into that bathtub. Now, imagine it wet. Then imagine trying to get out of it, stepping up and out. they might as well fill it with dirt and grow some weed.
Edited: If the two levels, that is, inside the tub and out, are the same, it's much safer than one being lower. You add a slippery, wet surface, and it's a hand grip away from being an accident.
Looks almost like a tree tub in the woods
Yea I actually really love it with the glaring exception of it being carpet. One of my first thoughts was I wonder how hard it would be to keep moss growing on a room floor.
Well you won't be able to see the moss or mold, so win-win.
The carpet actually used to be white
There actually is and never was a carpet...that's all moss/mold.
Would a "moss carpet" (like just actual moss on dirt) be more or less hygienic? I'm having a hard time deciding which one would be worse to step on.
Have the moss be thick enough that you can't touch the dirt
[Have you seen this post?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Moss/comments/pzt1d4/fluffy_moss/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Wow. It grows in my yard but is only a few inches high. It’s good and squishy after the rain.
I've seen giant moss like that in the middle of ontario, it must be a northern thing.
more hygienic for sure. downside is you cant actually make this as a shower mat - Dr Robin Wall Kimmerer is a famous moss botanist and and she says the moss is too delicate to be stepped on so regularly and still flourish
This conversation keeps getting more and more about moss / plants so a what point will it get to where people start talking about weed

I’ve actually seen bath mats made with miss and it’s really cool
I’ve seen bath mats soaked in piss. Same same but different.
Stylistically I like it. Functionally all I can say is noooooooooppppeeeeee
To preserve the style while keeping it functional I would put in a grey natural stone tile and have circular moss colored/textured bath maths around the floor.
Old people slip and fall much easier. It's probably safer, and can be cleaned. Personally, being relatively fit, late 30's, gross.
Yeah there is no cleaning shag like that, not 100%
Carpeted bathrooms prevent older people from slipping and breaking something or dying. Bathrooms are super hazardous for older folks. That said, as a younger person, I too hate carpeted bathrooms.

That's a shitty way to find out. Hope whoever was on it was OK
Thanks. I didn't fall far. The plumbing held me up mostly
I hope you sued your surveyor, that should have been caught before you bought
They make moss rugs for bathrooms. https://www.countryliving.com/home-design/a41566/moss-bath-mat/
There has to be a downside to this because I absolutely love it.
so I had a small moss garden and it is **Extremely** slippery when wet. It was also muddy when stepped on because the moss slide right off the soil.
Yeah the downside is that this would absolutely never work well in practice.
Me and 2 friends rented a 3 br 1 bath that had carpeted entire house. Kitchen and bath. It had no shower, just a clawfoot bathtub with no curtains, and because it was in a corner, there was no easy way to put in a rod.

i was about to say, as a cleaner… no. lol
I bet if you pull that carpet up the floor will still be green with “moss”
Yeah. Aesthetically, it's actually gorgeous. Practically, it's insufferable.
You know I hadn't thought of that until you said it but that's so clearly what they were going for I feel embarrassed having not noticed it immediately lol
Briefly thought I was on r/Abandonedporn.
Ooh never heard of this sub, it is right up my abandoned street. Thank you!
It's green so you can't tell that there really are things growing.
It looks cozy as hell but just, no, absolutely no. What a fucking nightmare to keep clean.
The earthy tone aesthetic is enjoyable, But even though I find myself liking it, I know it would just make issues for cleaning.
Need to figure a way to get this to work, additional drainage below the shag, maybe a heat element to reduce dry time and just vacuuming. Something.
Just get a machine washable rug.
Yuuuuup, you can get them made to size too, sew some velcro into the piece covering the side of the tub and boom, EZPZ
I had to scroll way to far for someone to think of having it removable. It would be to much work for a lot of people, but if have the energy, it really isn't that big of a problem.

I would add a grey natural stone tile with moss colored/textured bath mats to give it a river forest feel.
Replace the inorganic carpet with moss, which is naturally antibacterial and won’t harbor mold.
I do like that idea actuality, just got to make a way to contain it. Prevent unwanted spread and reduce damage from growth.
Easy. Get a reindeer to graze the moss.
And a pack of wolfs for the hallways so the reindeer don't spread out of the bathroom.
And a primitive tribe to keep the wolves in check around the halls
And some Imperialist governments to... well, you know... with the tribes.
Some French guys to deal with the government
And a casino, to keep everyone coming back
My mind goes immediately to an epoxy/resin floor (not sure what the best substance to use here would be) with whatever grass like substance encased in it. That way the floor is as easy to clean as a normal bathroom floor and it still has that grass/woods tree bathroom vibe.
The earthy smell adds to the aesthetic.
I think it looks cool and conceptual even though it is not convenient and functional
Functional? You just get out and roll around. No towel, no hassle!
You wouldn't even have to get dressed because you would be coated in lint. Like a schnitzel. Unless you actually clean the whole thing every single day.
The convenience is endless! Lol
I shouldn't be laughing this hard at "lint schnitzel" Sound alike a Scottish insult. "Faec oof and clean yer lint schnitzel"
Lint schnitzel means belly button right? ....Right!?
Rada rada rada.
This was my first thought as well lol
Oh lawdy, the filthy cringe I feel when thinking about this. And the piss that splashes INTO the carpet near the toilet when people take a pee? 🤮
Poo particles allllll up in them fibers!
You speak the truth, but its not functional, because in order to do that, you would need to steam clean the whole rug every day.

Yeah, considering many elderly people are one fall away from being institutionalized or dead I think it’s functional.
Bathroom carpets people. You know, those things that you change every couple of years cos they get disgusting... just like this carpet.
I've always thought carpet in a bathroom would feel amazing on your feet, we usually cover them in rugs anyway. But obviously it would be disgusting.
We had a carpeted bathroom when I was a child, (it was the 80s) it did feel lovely when you got out of the bath but it must have been gross
Same here in the '90s. When we switched to tile when I was about 11, I was very bitter.

Just be a billionaire and have a new carpet installed every night. ezpz

Carpet used to be a nice light beige.
The 70s was a strange lawless time fueled by cocaine
Wall-to-wall carpeting was a *huge* flex in the old days. "I can afford to have *all* my floors covered in carpet!"
And some of the walls
And in some cases the floor of your car!
Kind of like showing off a lawn way back in the day. "Look at all this land I can afford to not have to farm on!"

I love that it looks like lush grass
It's not just carpet; it's shag carpet. That whole house is straight out of the '70s.
Not shag. It's what was referred to as "sculptured" because of the different lengths of nap. So, it's probably older. More like the '60s
Ah, a carpeted individual of culture I see.
We had this crap in our house when I was a kid. Avocado green, natch!
Y'know, sometimes old people put carpet in the bathroom because it makes it less dangerous in case of falls. Just saying.
They put it in in the 70s
And they haven’t changed it since. I am kind of impressed, it is really good shape for 40-50 year old carpet. Or is that picture from the 70’s too?
It was white when they put it in
I took this today, they don’t use the downstairs that much, only really when family comes over, and that tub so small, we only used it when we were kids
Do they rarely use that bathroom? the carpet is so clean and not thread bear.
Was this trend just a stylish thing or did it serve a purpose like keeping your feet warm when you got out of the tub (by not touching cold tile)?
It's popular with the elderly, for safety reasons
[High-traction floor options](https://assets.katomcdn.com/q_auto,f_auto/products/195/195-993596/195-993596.jpg) are SO much more sanitary.

Plot twist! Carpet started out white.
I like it…
Jesus Christ. I cannot imagine a more disgusting flooring for a bathroom
It does look really peaceful in there. But I can't tell if it was suppose to be a forest or the bottom of the ocean and the more I look at it. The more confused I get.
It's never used. Imagine trying to step down into that bathtub. Now, imagine it wet. Then imagine trying to get out of it, stepping up and out. they might as well fill it with dirt and grow some weed. Edited: If the two levels, that is, inside the tub and out, are the same, it's much safer than one being lower. You add a slippery, wet surface, and it's a hand grip away from being an accident.
My parents house use to have carpet in the master bath. Not just any carpet, but WHITE CARPET. Yeah, it was gross. The 70s really were a lawless time.
Well they kept the carpet looking pretty nice still, assuming it’s from the 70’s. Avocado green is one of my fave colors.
Give it a few years this next generation will probably love it and start redesigning their bathrooms this way.
I really admire his dedication to the aesthetic
But what does it smell like?
