How to Choose an Outdoor Rug

Sep. 27, 2022

You might be more familiar with rugs for your living room, but there are stylish and functional rugs made for indoors and outdoors. A good outdoor rug does more than just add a little bit of decor—it can help to shape the design of your outdoor living space.

How to Choose Your Outdoor Rug Style

An outdoor space allows you the freedom to experiment with different decor themes without worrying about the way the rest of your home is styled. Since your patio, porch, balcony, or other outdoor area are likely only used a few months of the year, it’s nice to make it feel special. You can do this by choosing an outdoor rug in a pattern that suits your theme. 

For a vacation-inspired outdoor space, placing a tropical outdoor rug with palm leaves or other plants will give you an island vibe. 

If you prefer a more formal feel, opt for a classic style, like a floral or trellis pattern, in neutral colors. 

 

How to Choose Your Outdoor Rug Color

Anything goes when it comes to the color of your outdoor rug. Most outdoor spaces are a blank canvas before they’re decorated, allowing you to choose any palette that suits your taste.

Outdoor rugs in shades of green or blue promote a sense of calm and play off the surrounding natural elements. These work well with neutral furniture that let the colorful outdoor rug be the focal point. 

 

How to Choose Your Outdoor Rug Size

Choosing the size of your outdoor rug depends on two factors: What type of outdoor space you have and what you’ll be using it for. 

Small outdoor spaces, such as front porches and balconies, will require a small outdoor rug, likely a 3’x5′, 5’x7′, or runner to add style and set the space apart. 

For outdoor areas with more room, like patios and decks, a large outdoor rug, such as a 6’x9′, 8’x10′, or 9’x12′, works best to tie the area together and provide a nice cushion underfoot.

 

At Beijing Home Interiors, we’re all about turning a simple yard into a beautiful space to really enjoy outdoor living. Your perfect landscape is a place that makes you want to stay outside long after lunch on the patio is over. A rug helps to create spaces to relax, lounge, and really live outside—no wonder we love them.

That’s why it makes so much sense for the best rugs and the best online landscape design service to come together! If you want to spruce up your backyard (and who doesn’t?), get started and contact us today!
