Top Outdoor Rug Ideas
-
Be creative
Save on costs and get creative by making your own outdoor rugs. Buy cheap, plain rugs and spray paint your own colors and design. -
Use artificial turf
AstroTurf can be used as a makeshift rug to add a green touch to your outdoor area. Dirt will not easily show up on AstroTurf. -
Choose durable materials
Use strong, durable, and waterproof materials such as hemp, jute, or sisal. It's important that your rug can withstand wear and tear. -
Stick with neutral colors
Neutral colors like brown are a great choice for outdoor rugs. It's easier to keep these clean as they don't show dirt. -
Consider synthetic rugs
If your outdoor area is muddy or gets snowy, buy machine-made material such as recycled plastic, which will last through rain and shine.
