All About Indoor/Outdoor Rugs Some of the earliest known outdoor rugs go all the way back to Western Asia in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC, with some evidence pointing all the way back to the 7th millennium. However, the earliest surviving example is called the Pazyrk carpet from the 5th-4th century BC in Siberia. These outdoor rugs were crafted in India and Persia before being traded throughout the region and used for everything from saddlebags to tent fabric.

These rugs blur the line between indoor and outdoor living during warmer months, helping us take full advantage of longer days as we spend more time dining and playing in our own backyards. Outdoor rugs turn your deck, porch, and more into bonus living space that can be designed as such.

Outdoor rugs are especially popular when it comes to creating designated spaces for dining, lounging, and more. They're a great way to visually integrate your outdoor entertaining space with the indoors and bring some of those comforts right along with them.

Color and Pattern Outdoor rugs are available in a spectrum of colors and variety of styles, so you should have no problem finding one that works with your aesthetic. Choose from a myriad of shapes and sizes to find the perfect option for your own unique needs.

Care and Cleaning of Your Outdoor Area Rug With their durable make and easy care, outdoor rugs are an easy addition to any lifestyle. Cleaning recommendations vary between manufacturers, but you can usually do so with a hose, scrub brush, and diluted dish soap. Be sure to clean both sides before allowing your rug dry in the sun. Do a thorough cleaning at the start and end of the season as well as spot clean when needed. If you live in a colder climate, store your rug during winter months by rolling it up and placing in a dry, indoor space.

Find Your Perfect Outdoor Area Rug Adding a practical outdoor rug or two to your outside space creates more square footage to live within during warm months. Evenings spent dining al fresco, hours gathered together with family and friends on the porch, or just enjoying yourself poolside in a more comfortable way all make an outdoor rug a worthwhile addition to your home.

• Neutrals, as well as cool blues and greens, will help achieve the feel of an outdoor oasis
• Pick a bright and punchy pattern to create a fun vibe for summer cookouts
• If you have a round outdoor dining table choose a rug in the same shape for extra style

Because outdoor rugs are available in such a wide array of variations, you may want to use some filters while searching out the best fit for you so as to not be overwhelmed.

Here are some shortcuts to get started:

• Get started: Browse all area rugs
• Begin with an idea of where you'll be using your indoor/outdoor rug, that will help determine whether a synthetic or natural material is the best fit.
• Determining which size and shape will complement the area helps narrow the selection down further, as will color preference.
• Lastly decide on a thickness based on whether you prefer handwoven, braided, or machine-made options.
• Price options can also be filtered, if you're on a tight budget start at $200 and under
