5 Reasons Why I Love Outdoor Rugs
- Dash & Albert has so many cool rugs that work in beachy & casual spaces as well as with traditional looks. This great pattern is scrubbable and UV treated for outdoor use. 2.5′x 8′ runner is $110.
Summer is just around the corner so it’s time to start thinking of our outdoor spaces: patios, decks, lanais and terraces (enter our Home Outside giveaway). One of my favorite ways to warm up outdoor spaces is with rugs. Rugs create warm, cozy conversation areas and provide texture and color. As I browse some of my favorite sites, I see that the selection of outdoor rugs is fabulous. There is something for every budget and style. Let me show you.
Perfect for your Mountain Retreat look. A braided rug that's cozy and comfortable on bare feet.
Why I Love Outdoor Rugs

They can survive the slings and arrows of kids, dogs and ketchupy hot dogs that jump out of your hands.

They are water, mold and midew-proof. You don’t have to panic when red wine spills and you can forget about having to wash them with bleach. Just hose them down.

They work just as well indoors and are great for high traffic areas. Kitchen, anyone?
-
They are now available in great classic styles like sisal, hand-hooked and braided.
