Indoor-outdoor rugs are not only one of the easy ways to pull together a space, but also they add color, pattern and texture to your outdoor living space, making it as cozy and sophisticated as your indoors.
These rugs are usually very durable. They are mold and mildew resistant. A majority of indoor-outdoor rugs are made of synthetic materials like polyester and polypropylene. These materials are stain-resistant. And many polypropylene rugs are also UV resistant, so their colors don’t fade in the sunlight. Natural fiber rugs can be used as indoor-outdoor rugs as well. Jute, seagrass, and sisal are great choices for an open-air space, and they add lovely texture to any seating area. Like the synthetic materials listed above, these natural fiber rugs are super durable, with the added bonus that they’re made from sustainable (and sometimes even organic) materials. However, be aware that jute and sisal, specifically, should only be used in a covered porch or patio, since these materials are susceptible to mold and mildew and can be damaged by exposure to too much moisture. Seagrass, on the other hand, is water-resistant and non-absorbent, and can therefore handle the elements a bit better.
Indoor-outdoor rugs can be used indoors too, specially for the high traffic areas. However, it will be a good idea to consider using a rug pad with them indoors to add extra cushion underfoot, since most outdoor rugs are flatweaves. Here are 12 of our favorite indoor-outdoor area rugs that will elevate your outdoor living space with coziness and style.
Timeless, chic, and remarkably versatile gingham is as classic as it gets. This beautifully handwoven rug instantly livens up a space with a scaled up take on the familiar pattern. Plus, the feel underfoot is fabulous too (go ahead and kick off your shoes). A pretty fringe along the sides is a playful finishing touch.
Shop Gingham Rug
We love this rug’s relaxed sensibilities – and the fact that it really does go almost anywhere and everywhere. The soft geometric motif, fun fringe, and sun-washed finish capture coastal beauty at its best
Shop Seaview Rug
A coastal look with high performance? Here, an array of stripes sets the tone for a beach-house look. A bit of heathering in the base softens the palette all the more.
Shop Cooke Rug
The ability to live well outdoors as well as in, turns this rug into a high performer. Remarkably soft Perennials performance chenille makes it feel great underfoot, while still being durable enough to stand up stains, moisture, and UV rays. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to clean, no matter where it lies. From terrace to kitchen, runner to room anchor, your styling options abound. A natural fringe adds a touch of contrast.
Timeless stripes get a fresh look. A flatweave with broken stripes, this has a modern edge we love and a palette that’s easy to work with. Woven of the finest Perennials performance yarns, it resists UV rays, moisture, and mildew – making it a great option for outdoor living. But it’s so soft underfoot that you may want this layer in the dining room, where it easily keeps stains and spills at bay. Our favorite part? It’s a breeze to keep clean, so you can entertain without having to worry about life’s little messes.
A great geometric in the mix – especially one that can go almost anywhere and everywhere. Heathered yarns create tonal depth and the coastal palette makes it easy to work with.
Shop South Shore Rug
Inspired by traditional Persian designs, this rug blends a delicate floral motif with a gorgeous color palette. The pile is carefully sheared by hand, creating a gently distressed effect that adds both warmth and character. Hand-knotted from performance yarns, it’s porch-ready yet refined enough to use indoors. (And it feels as luxurious as it looks.)
