Here's the debate we're having in our house right now. I redid the bathroom a couple of weeks ago and found this really cute area rug - just perfect for the room and did I say CUTE? The problem with it is that it doesn't have rubber on it's underside so it slips and slides everywhere.
Because it's cute and goes so nicely, I have been overlooking this issue and just dealing with it. However, my husband, being a guy and more into function vs. fashion doesn't like it. He also doesn't like that it's not as cushy as our old rug. So, we've agreed to figure out a way to put something underneath it so that it won't slide around and try that (because we have small kids and I'd rather that they not take a tumble with the slippery rug I've agreed to this) and I'm still hopeful to have my cute rug in front of the sink. The issue has caused us to discuss fashion vs. function and how it seems women side more on the side of fashion and will put up with the imperfections if it's cute and men side way more on the side of function and don't really care what it looks like if it works (although cute is a bonus).
Right now the old rug is back and the new rug is over by the shower. Not as cute but more functional. Sigh...
