Is your deck, patio, or porch missing something? It could be outside area rugs!
Rugs are a great way to make your outdoor spaces feel cozy while creating a softer floor for bare feet. They also add a unique aesthetic appeal to outdoor living spaces in the form of color, texture, and design.
But when searching for outside area rugs, you have a virtually limitless selection. Color Wheel helps you narrow down your options with eco-friendly, durable, and gorgeous area rugs to enhance your outdoor space.
What to Look for in an Outdoor Area Rug
An outdoor area rug should be both stylish and durable. Since these rugs are exposed to all kinds of weather, choosing one made from durable materials is essential. Synthetic options are popular because of their resistance to mold and fading from sunlight.
If you plan on leaving your rug out in the rain, look for a water-resistant material that can dry out quickly and not get damaged by moisture. Rugs with a tight weave are good choices, as they repel water and prevent moisture from causing mold or mildew.
Of course, you also want a rug that’s easy to maintain. Outdoor rugs should be resistant to stains and be easy to wipe clean if food, drinks, or dirt and mud get on them. Consider rugs with low-pile or flat-weave designs, as they tend to be easier to clean.
Why Choose Recycled Materials, such as PET?
Although choosing a rug made from natural materials such as wool, cotton, or jute may look good initially, these materials don’t provide the same level of protection against the elements as synthetic options.
Fortunately, you don’t have to choose virgin synthetic fibers to reap the benefits of durable outdoor rugs. Instead, you have the option of recycled materials, such as rugs made from polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET.
As a highly recyclable plastic, PET is resistant to fading, mildew, and moisture damage while being easy to clean and maintain. Better yet, yarns from PET look and feel like wool but without being heavy or a headache to maintain, especially when exposed to the elements.
Plus, the fact that your rug is made from recycled materials means new plastics are not being made to make your rugs, and at the end of its life, the plastic can be recycled yet again, which reduces your environmental impact and keeps synthetic fibers out of landfills.
