10 Easy Pieces: Graphic Outdoor Rugs

April 10, 2013

Outdoor rugs: tricky to pick the right one. You want to create an irresistible place to lure you to read, nap, or have cocktails outside. What you want to avoid is turning the outdoors into a meek extension of indoor space. We compared several outdoor rugs side by side on Julie’s brick patio earlier this week and asked you to pick your favorite. (By the way, there’s still time to vote here.) Here are ten favorites:

Want a closer look at the four outdoor rugs that took a test drive on Julie’s mossy brick patio? See Help Me Choose an Outdoor Rug (or Have I Gone Too Far?).

Above: With a graphic blue-and-white print, the Alma Carpet from Brita in midnight blue is available in four sizes; a 170 centimeter by 250 centimeter (which measures roughly 5.5 feet by 8 feet), is $549 at Scandinavian Center. It’s pictured above in our London editor Christine Hanway’s garden (see more at Christine’s London Oasis).

Above: West Elm’s Tierra Outdoor Dhurrie, available in five sizes and in flax or platinum (shown above), is waterproof and handmade in India from yarns made of recycled plastic bottles; available at prices ranging from $49 to $749 from West Elm. It can be cleaned with an outdoor hose and mild soap; to prevent mold or mildew, avoid leaving it in standing water for extended periods.

Above: Handmade in India, a woven polypropylene Keen Grey Deena Rug, measuring 5 by 8 feet, is $177.99 from All Modern.

Above: Made of weather-resistant polypropylene, a flat woven Varum Rug measures 7 feet 7 inches long and 5 feet 3 inches wide. An anti-slip underlay mat is recommended; $59.99 from Ikea.

Above: The Quil Diamond Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Pottery Barn is available in five sizes and is available at prices ranging from $49 to $349. Woven of stain-resistant polypropylene to mimic the look of grass cloth, it has a latex backing and is durable enough to use in an uncovered outdoor area. The design is based on the pattern of an early 20th century African rug is available in five sizes, at prices ranging from $49 to $349.

Above: Dash & Albert’s Seaside Stripes Outdoor Rugs are made from polypropylene; prices start at $99 for the 3-by-5-foot size and go up to $559 for the 8.5-by-11-foot size at Neiman Marcus.

Above: From Dash & Albert, a diamond patterned Platinum White Indoor/Outdoor Rug that’s scrubbable, bleachable, and UV-treated measures 6 feet wide by 9 feet long; it’s is $298.
