Outdoor Area Rugs
I love getting outdoor living and dining areas set up for the season! This is very similar to designing indoor spaces, except they’re outdoors, but there are some key practicalities that you must ensure. We love to start by defining spaces with an area rug, and the outdoors is exactly the same! Outdoor Area Rugs have been increasing in popularity over the years, and we love using them.
In this Shop the Look feature we’re going to share our top tips and ideas on how to use Outdoor Area Rugs to your advantage, and of course create a stylish outdoor area with them!

How to Recognize an Outdoor Area Rug
The key to finding an outdoor area rug is examining the materials it’s made from. Outdoor rugs are usually made from materials that can withstand the weather outdoors. They are typically made from polypropylene, polyester or nylon as they have water-resistant qualities. That’s not to say that they should be left outdoors for extended periods of time, but in general they have good overall resistant to weather conditions during the summer months.
An outdoor area rug is used to clearly define an area outdoors, for example underneath outdoor living or dining furniture.


Outdoor Area Rug Fun Facts:
Outdoor area rugs are also a very popular choice for using indoors, in high-traffic areas! Such as: kitchens, hallways, and even laundry rooms. So while you may not be keen to use them in your outdoor space, they can be helpful for using indoors instead.
You will notice while shopping online for an outdoor area rug that they are more colorful than regular area rugs, and are available in a wide range of patterns too. This is typically so you can inject some personality into your outdoor living and dining areas!
