Outdoor Rugs

Outdoor rugs not only help keep dirt outside, but they're a simple way to add personality and pizzazz to your outdoor living space. Available in an assortment of sizes and colors, they can make a porch, patio, deck, or balcony feel like a natural extension of your home.

Stylish decor isn't just for the inside of your home. Outdoor area rugs help create a warm, cozy ambiance, so you can enjoy your outdoor living space to its fullest. When the weather's nice, it's hard to resist the lure of fresh air and sunshine. It's the best time to grab a cool drink and kick back on your porch swing or favorite lounge chair by the pool. Area rugs provide a comfortable, elegant touch to welcome your family and friends outside. They can change the whole look of your deck, sunroom, porch, patio, or gazebo. At OnlyAreaRugs.com, we have an enormous selection in a variety of colors, textures, patterns, sizes, and materials. You're sure to find the right outdoor rug perfectly suited to your space.

While some outdoor rugs can be used inside, most indoor rugs can't withstand the sun, wind, rain, and whatever else Mother Nature dishes out. Strong and durable, outdoor rugs are specially made to hold up to the elements. They're constructed from a variety of materials, including bamboo, jute, sisal, polypropylene, recycled plastic, and more.

Most are mildew- and mold-resistant, and some are treated to resist fading from exposure to ultraviolet rays. Polypropylene rugs are durable and resistant to mold, mildew, sun, and water. They typically feature flat-weave construction, which means they don't have a pile. DuraCord is another synthetic material used for outdoor rugs. The quick-drying cord fibers are resistant to moisture, mildew, and fading. Soft and plush, these outdoor rugs are durably crafted using hand-hooked construction.

Just like indoor rugs, outdoor versions come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and patterns (stripes, flora, nautical, tropical/island, and more). While you may gravitate toward a basic rectangular rug, other shapes to consider include circular rugs. Caring for an outdoor rug is easy. Regular vacuuming will help prevent dirt from getting ground into the fibers.

It's a good idea to sweep under a rug to help keep the back of it from getting damaged. Clean up spills and other messes as soon as possible to keep stains from setting. Depending on your rug, you may be able to clean it with a garden hose. If you do, be sure to hang it over a railing and make sure both sides are completely dry before putting it back on the ground.
