Urban Outfitter's Swan Bathmat Sold Out? How To Get The Look For Less From Five Below

Urban Outfitters knows the secret for hooking us on their adorable offerings. The trouble is, some of their most crave-able wares sell out so quickly that we're left wanting. Their Framed Swan Bathmat is one such item. A demure swan against a bubble gum pink background is cute by itself, but the faux yellow and brown frame around the edges makes the rug irresistible. It's sold out, and waitlist aside, it's hard to know when or if you'll be able to nab one yourself. If you don't want to wait, there's a budget option on offer from Five Below. This discount shop teems with more affordable dupes for home items from Urban Outfitters. For a refreshing $7, their Swan Rug might satisfy your need. It's just slightly longer than the UO product and features two swans beak-to-beak, set against a similar pink.

The Five Below mat doesn't contain any yellow or brown. However, with detailing in black, orange, cream, and magenta, the Five Below mat won't be too hard to weave into an existing decor scheme. If you're over the moon for maximalist decor in any form, color coordination might not be your concern, anyway. Imagine how well the two swans with their black and white accents would complement a sleek black-and-white checked bathroom. Forget the bathroom; give your footsies a soft landing pad next to your bed, set it in front of a fireplace, or let it cushion your feet while you wash dishes.

Rugs are affordable home decor finds you can always rely on at Five Below. Even if they don't have exactly what you're looking for, their low prices can make taking a crafty risk worth it. What might make UO's swan mat particularly appealing are the contrast between the frame's colors and their neighboring pink. You can customize the Five Below rug to get more of an Urban Outfitters feel. Some trim in yellow and/or brown added to the rug's edges won't make the FB rug a dead ringer for Urban's, it will provide that delectable color combo of the original.

The compact construction and chenille material of these YYCRAFT Tiny Pom Pom Ball Trim in brown and/or yellow make them a pretty and practical addition to the FB rug. The trim will mesh seamlessly with the chenille rug, and the pom poms on the trim are closely attached to the base to be durable.

A reliable fabric glue like Aleene's All Purpose Tacky Glue will hold the trim in place while staying flexible. With the rug right side-up, stripe the straight edge of the trim with the glue. Affix the trim to the outermost edge of the rug's base. Press it into place, making sure the ball trim extends far enough past the rug's pile to be visible. A second row of the same color could make it more prominent, or just edge the back of the first trim with trim in a second color for a color boost.
