Outdoor Rugs for Patios
When I started looking for a way to define my outdoor space, I looked at outdoor rugs for patios to make my dining area stand out. In this article, we will look at the Better Homes and Garden collection of outdoor rugs. Having several styles and sizes to choose from will let you match your outdoor decor.
All of these rugs will be made from the same power-loomed polypropylene material that will be able to get wet for quick cleaning of debris after your party. They will dry very quickly so you can use your outdoor room shortly after a rain and you will not have to take it up each time you expect rain.
Now let us look at what is available in the Better Homes and Garden collection for your outdoor space.
Medallion Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug
If you are looking for a beige main color this Medallion rug will work. Made to clean easily with just a wash off with a hose and let dry. Does not have any backing material to hold in place, you will have to use your furniture.
These rugs will not work as well on the inside of your home as the surface is not a smooth as your typical indoor rug. The little ones will get rug burns on their knees if they slide across it.
This Beige rug is available in 5 by 7 foot and 8 by 11-foot size. The price range is about $46 for the smaller rug and about $178 for the larger rug.

Better Homes and Gardens Latticework Indoor/Outdoor Rug
This brown rug with a geometric design will fit many outdoor decors. It will go great with brown or white wicker furniture. No backing on this rug. For cleaning use a hose to wash and wait for it to dry.
If you want to use it indoors, I would suggest a backing material to keep in place and to make it easier on your feet.
The brown color is available in an 8 X 10-foot size. The price is about $117 for this rug.

Conclusion my thoughts
When looking for solutions for your outdoor rugs for patios, these selections and others are available from Walmart.com and will serve you well. I have given you the sizes and colors that are available in each style. I have one for my outdoor space at the camper to sit my dining table on and it defines the space. The rug also gives you a smoother surface to walk on, a lot better than the concrete surface.

Hey John–thank you for the great tips. I’ve always been paranoid re. the choice of material for this kind of space. You not only give helpful info on this but a good visual set of samples too. I’d be curious about tips on instillation as it seems some of the large department stores offer very expensive contractor’s to do this work. I’m sure it’s easy to do some of this on your own, but do you have any suggestions for choosing someone else? Thanks, PJ
Joel,
No need to get any ones help with installation. Remove all furniture, place rug in place, replace all furniture. You are ready to use your space.

I am actually looking to enclose my deck soon. Would you recommend the types of rugs you talked about in this post for the bottom which will be the original deck or are there other options to cover the entire deck bottom? I don’t want bugs & things getting into the enclosed space from under the deck!
Trisha,
I would only recommend an outdoor rug for covering you deck material for areas, not the whole area. It will not keep bugs out. The best way to fix the deck problem is to screen the bottom of the decking boards. I have seen it done. Nothing on the top will work unless you cover the top with a solid material. When I closed in my deck, I took the decking boards off and replaced them with plywood. I covered the plywood with a glue on type of carpet. It looks and works great on keeping the area clean from bugs. You can put the plywood right on top of your decking boards if they are in great shape and not bowed.

The favorite one is the desert southwest one because it reminds me of Africa. I love Africa and started doing an African theme in my bedroom three years ago but never got to finish it. I never knew that you could get outdoor rugs!
Emma,
These will help you define your outdoor space. They can give you separation of space without walls. If you have a rough surface that you use outside, you can have a better place to put your bare feet in the summer. You need the right outdoor rug to make it happen.

Actually desert southwest rug looks amazing. And I love its brown color. However I want to know which tool is the best for cleaning it?
Furkan,
You can just wash off with a hose, that is what I do. You can sweep off with a broom or vacuum. When using vacuum, do not use beater brushes as they will kill the loom on the rug and it will not last very long.

Hello John, I so do like the idea of bringing our living space out to nature. And making it so comfortable and beautiful is truly fun to do. Liked all the rugs.
So maintenance is not a problem?
In peace and gratitude, ariel
Ariel,
These rugs are OK in most weather. They should not sit in standing water and if soaked, they should be dried to make sure that they do not mold. Most will do just great in outdoor conditions, I would bring them in during winter months if you live where it gets very cold.

Hey John, these are cool looking and would keep our bare feet from burning when we are on the deck. And the price’s are reasonable.
We have a Sunseter awning and they are always sending us ads with outdoor carpets that run in the hundreds. It’s nice to know we can get them for a lot cheaper.

Kim,
The thought of burning my feet on a deck would make me get something to protect them. These rugs would be a perfect fit for a space that will need some separation from another space.
