Adding Outdoor Area Rugs to Improve Your Space

by | Oct 12, 2012 | Home and Garden

 

Redesigning or pulling together your outdoor space often takes a lot of work. There are pieces here and there and key elements that you hope to tie together to enhance the space you are relaxing in outside while making it inviting and welcoming at the same time. Adding outdoor area rugs is one way to improve the aesthetic appeal of any outdoor space. They elevate a space that has a set of chairs, a table and maybe a fire pit and truly make all of the pieces look like they were meant to be together.

Selecting Outdoor Area Rugs   
 
Choosing an outdoor area rug for your space really involves no more than finding a nice match with what is already in the outdoor space – like the color scheme of the chairs and table or any cushions that are used in the seats – and verifying that your purchase comes from a reputable seller that concentrates on making high-quality merchandise. Purchasing an area rug at a shop that sells a million different other types of furniture and pieces may not give you the deal you were hoping for. Purchasing a rug from a dealer that has hundreds of selections will probably be more up your alley.

Patterns and Colors

Patterns and colors mean almost everything when talking about outdoor area rugs. In general, you may not be sitting on them or standing on them for very long, so the idea is about picking what rug looks most ideal in any given space. A rug with an Asian theme, for example, may not go well with an outdoor space that has more of a European look to it, and vice versa. Choosing the color scheme and pattern scheme that ties everything together better is your goal here.

Investing Some Dollars

Most outdoor area rugs that can be found at home improvement or hardware stores may not necessarily be meant to last very long. They are waterproof and say they are resistant to fading, but many truthfully are not. The ones which will last the longest are the rugs that will cost slightly more. However, the eventual cost is not very much compared to the benefit it will give to your space. A few hundred dollars or less invested in a nice rug is worth what you pay for it, considering it will help pull an outdoor look together beautifully.
