First things first: a great indoor/outdoor rug begins with choosing the right size. We then recommend considering which outdoor rug materials are right for your space. Generally, polypropylene is a great choice, offering strength and texture. It is usually water-resistant as well. Another go-to material for indoor/outdoor rugs is UV stabilized polysilk. This incredibly durable material is also quite weatherproof. And you can’t go wrong with fade-resistant materials, especially if you want to place your outdoor rug in direct sunlight.
Indoor/outdoor area rugs can come in a variety of sizes. Common indoor/outdoor rug sizes include: 8x10 indoor/outdoor rugs and 5x7 indoor/outdoor rugs. If you’re not sure what size rug to buy for your space, bigger is usually better. You want to create an ample foundation for your furniture as well as add elegance and interest. When ordering a custom-sized rug, it’s important to measure your room with care. Not sure where to start? Check out our expertly-curated custom rug size guide.
People often ask: are indoor/outdoor rugs waterproof? It depends on the type of rug material, but in general, polypropylene is a great choice for indoor/outdoor rugs. This durable material tends to be mold-resistant, mildew-resistant, stain-resistant and more. UV polysilk is often chosen for both its water-resistance and fade-restorative properties.
