SerpentSea Rope Mats
Worried that your mats can stand up to the daily abuse you put out? You need not worry if you've got some of these SerpentSea Rope Mats ($250-$1500). Handwoven from reclaimed sailing ropes, they come in four different styles — Bonny, Drake, Morgan, and Killigrew — named after four of the most infamous pirates of the 17th century. All four also happen to be traditional knots that have been tied by sailors for centuries for both practical purposes and decor, and all four rugs are designed to be used indoors or out — just like the rope from which they're made.
Dyson Airblade Tap
Yes, it's designed for use in public spaces — but the Dyson Airblade Tap ($TBA) is so damn smart that we wouldn't mind having one in our homes. Within its modern design is a no-touch water faucet, which lets you wash your hands without touching anything, and an ultra-powerful hand dryer that removes the need to cross the room with wet hands. The secret is a fully-integrated 1400W motor housed underneath the sink that draws air in through a HEPA filter before blasting it through a small aperture and onto your hands, which are dried in just 14 seconds.

Kohler Moxie Speaker Showerhead
Don't try to hide your addiction to singing in the shower — embrace it with the Kohler Moxie Speaker Showerhead ($200). This clever piece of bathroom hardware embeds a speaker in the middle of a full-spray showerhead. And not just any speaker — a Bluetooth-compatible speaker that lets you recharge it on the counter, snap it back into the showerhead using the embedded magnets, and play music wirelessly from your phone or tablet. Just don't forget to clean yourself up while you're at it.
Vice T&A Bedding
While we doubt its appeal for married men, if you're outfitting a bachelor bad you just might be interested in some Vice T&A Bedding ($100-$235). Available in two different designs and four total colorways, these erotic sheets are made from 100% supima cotton and offer a thread count of 300, as well as multiple hand-drawn ladies in various states of undress and, in at least one case, conducting lude acts with a mermaid. Like we said: bachelor bad. [Scouted by James]

A symbol of opulence equal to the gold toilet, this carbon fiber tub sports a sleek, streamlined shape, is best matched with a modern, standalone faucet, and may/may not come from space and make racecar noises, as the movie suggests.

Sheex
You sweat when you play sports or work out, so you wear water-wicking fabrics to help keep you dry? But what about physical activity that takes place in a more intimate area? That's what Sheex ($200-$220) are for. Made from a microfiber polyester/Lycra Spandex blend, these "performance" bed sheets are breathable to keep you from getting too hot, stretchy to help with nighttime tosses and turns, and able to wick water away from your body, keeping you dry whether you're having a good romp with your mate or just a gross, sweaty sleeper.
