The best outdoor rugs


                

1. Gunter Power Loom Blue/Khaki Rug


The best outdoor rug for adding a pop of colour


Specifications             Material:: Polypropylene
                                    Colors:: Blue/Khaki, Dark Blue/Gray, Aqua/Gray
                                    Size:: From 2ft x 3ft

Reasons to buy         +It’s on sale!
                                   +Brings a subtle colour into your garden

Reasons to avoid     -The lighter color may start to show dirt quickly

This outdoor rug would bring the perfect amount of subtle pattern and color into an outdoor space. It’s definitely got a bit of a rustic boho vibe and we can so imagine this paired with some rattan garden furniture, plenty of soft slubby cushions and festoon lights twinkling above. It has a slightly worn and faded look which is perfect for outdoors as it won’t show scuffs and stains, it is waterproof so can stay out in the rain and is suitable for indoor use too, so you can bring it into your living room or kitchen in the depths of winter.

                

2. Houndz Indoor/ Outdoor Trellis Light Gray & Cream Rug


Best outdoor rug for a neutral, natural look


Specifications              Material :: Polypropylene
                                    Colors:: Blue/Khaki, Dark Blue/Gray, Aqua/Gray
                                    Size:: From 2ft x 3ft

Reasons to buy          +Handmade in India from durable polypropylene
                                  +Comfy underfoot

Reasons to avoid      -Not machine washable

If you are after a more simple style, this small houndstooth print in cream and soft grey would be perfect. It’s neutral but has that very subtle pattern that means it won’t go unnoticed. It’s handmade from a durable polypropylene that makes it weather proof and it can get wet too. For an outdoor rug it’s also really comfy underfoot, perfect for when you nip outside in your PJs with a hot coffee and want your porch to feel like an extension of your living room.

                

3. Persian Style Alma Indoor Outdoor Rug
Best Persian style outdoor rug


Specifications               Material:: Polyester with latex backing
                                     Colors:: Pink and black
                                     Size:: From 5ft x 8ft

Reasons to buy           +Stylish Persian-style design
                                   +Non-skid backing to reduce slipping

Reasons to avoid       -While splashproof it’s not suitable for downpours

Worn' Persian rugs are so popular in homes at the moment, the older looking the better, if it doesn’t look like it’s been walked on for at least a decade we aren’t interested. But we are yet to see a Persian rug you can use outdoors – but this rug is just that. We love the slightly pinkish rust colours, they will pop enough that you notice them but are still soft and subtle. It’s easy to clean, weather resistant and pet friendly too – this would add a stylish antique look to a kitchen too if you want to bring it in when the weather gets really bad.

                

4. Modway JaggedGeometric Diamond Trellis Area Rug in Gray
Best graphic outdoor rug


Specifications              Material:: Polypropylene
                                     Colors:: Grey
                                     Size:: H x 63" W x 90.5"

Reasons to buy          +Rubber underside for grip
                                    +Stain-resistant and easy to clean

Reasons to avoid       -The corners do curl after a while

A bit more of a statement outdoor rug, this geometric design would suit a more contemporary space. Again, it’s polypropylene so has a tight low pile weave that’s waterproof and durable so will sit perfectly under your outdoor lounging area all year round. This would be just as well suited in high traffic area in your home too if you want to bring it indoors later in the year.

                

5. Catamaran Indoor/Outdoor Rug
Best striped outdoor rug


Specifications             Material:: Polypropylene
                                    Colors:: 11 choices
                                    Size:: From 2ft x 3ft

Reasons to buy          +Gorgeous statement design
                                    +Plenty of colorways to choose from

Reasons to avoid       -Not totally waterproof

If you are looking for an outdoor rug for a porch or patio, this would be a classic design to add to your space. It’s not 100% waterproof so wouldn’t be suitable all year round for an area that’s not covered but to add some comfort to your porch area it’s perfect. The bold stripes make it a simple but striking design and you can choose how statement you want to go – this black and ivory colorway would be a focus of the space but there are more subtle options too.

                

6. Lillian Indoor/Outdoor Rug
Best vintage style outdoor rug


Specifications             Material:: Polypropylene
                                    Colors:: Oyster/slate blue, slate blue/oyster
                                    Size:: From 2ft x 3.11ft

Reasons to buy         +Mould and mildew resistant
                                   +Pattern doesn’t fade

Reasons to avoid      -The larger sizes are expensive

Another vintagey outdoor rug here to add some rustic vibes to your backyard. It comes in two really subtle colorways that would work in summer or going to fall and winter too. There’s also plenty of sizes so you can pick the perfect fit for your space. Just be aware you will have to buy an anti-slip mat to go underneath this one.
