Creating an Open-Air Oasis with Outdoor Rugs of Every Style

March 15, 2023 by Kelly Irvin

Spring is just around the corner, and there’s only one thing on our minds—days spent in the sun! We’re dreaming of pool parties, patio hangs, and dining al fresco with friends. Naturally, with that comes thoughts of prepping a space outside. If you’re wondering where to begin with your outdoor refresh, we always recommend starting from the ground up—with a rug!

A gorgeous rug is the perfect foundation for any en plein air entertaining area, and with our vast assortment, you’ll have plenty of stunning styles to choose from. Whether your personal style leans bohemian or traditional, modern or more on the eclectic side, you’re certain to find a style for your space within our outdoor collections. Let’s dive in and take a look at some our favorite trends and motifs for styling a space outside!

The Trend: Al Fresco

If you love color and fashion-forward motifs, look no further. Vibrant hues and whimsical patterns rule in these bold designs. They shout “summer fun” in a the-life-of-the-party-lives-here kind of way. Place one in your outdoor entertaining area to give it the kind of energy that’ll keep the party going well into the night.

The Trend: Solid & Striped

You can never go wrong with stripes! They’re the perfect blend of simple and bold—the best of both worlds. This classic motif is a great foundation for a myriad of design styles, making it extra easy to put your own spin on it. Whether you want your space to feel traditional or more modern, you can’t go wrong with a striped style.

The Trend: Coastal

Want to live by the beach all summer long? Create a space that feels like you do (even if you don’t!) with rugs that exude coastal style. Think: blues, waves, and nautical prints. And if you prefer a little more color variety, simply add throw pillows or lounge furniture in fun summery hues to put your own spin on this design trend.

The Trend: Moroccan Motifs

Moroccan motifs never go out of style, especially when it comes to rugs. Between trellis patterns and tiled looks, these pieces are a designer go-to when creating a space—and that goes for outdoor spaces, too. Add one to your porch, patio, or backyard for a look that instantly elevates and is always on-trend.

The Trend: Washable

This year is all about making life a little easier. So it’s no wonder why washable rugs are all the rage! You may have one in your home, but did you know we make them for your outdoor space, too?! Pick one in your favorite print or pattern and you’ll be good to go. And if someone spills their sangria, no worries! Just pop it in the wash and head back outside for more summer fun.
