Outdoor Area Rugs for Cozy Outdoor Living

One of the simplest ways to update your floors is by rolling out a cozy new area rug. While often used for indoor living spaces, a stylish, high-quality rug can have the same decorative effect on your outdoor living spaces. Outdoor area rugs can help you to define your outdoor seating and dining areas or just add colour and texture to your patio or deck. The outdoor rug collection at Williams Sonoma includes a wide selection of durable, weather-resistant rugs to perfectly complement any outdoor furniture.

Faux Natural Outdoor Rugs

While materials like sisal and abaca make beautiful, hard-wearing rugs for indoor spaces, natural woven rugs are generally not recommended for outdoor use. But that doesn't mean you can't also get the look for your outdoor spaces. Faux natural outdoor rugs use durable synthetic materials like polypropylene to mimic the look of natural Fibre rugs. These gorgeous rugs are available in various neutral shades of brown and Grey and are fade-, stain- and weather-resistant.

Because of their flat weave, these area rugs are smooth underfoot yet still slightly textured. This makes them a top choice for any simple, cozy outdoor dining area or lounge area. Faux woven rugs in warm neutral tones look great with outdoor furniture crafted of teak or wicker. Indoors, they can also add a natural touch to living rooms or other high-traffic living spaces.

Bold and Patterned Outdoor Rugs

In addition to simple neutral rugs, the outdoor rug collection at Williams Sonoma also includes a wide selection of bold and patterned styles. These outdoor area rugs are crafted of weather-resistant materials like yarn-dyed polypropylene or acrylic yarns to keep the rich colours looking fresh and vibrant throughout the summer.

• Stripes are one of the most common patterns used for outdoor spaces. Choose from a variety of neutral striped rugs containing colours like Grey, black, white and taupe. Classic navy or red and white striped rugs add fun nautical flair to your backyard.
• Some outdoor rugs feature interesting patterned borders or borders in a contrasting colour which serve as a stylish decorative accent.
• To add a little Mediterranean style to your outdoor living spaces, choose an area rug with a Moroccan-inspired design. Coordinating Moroccan outdoor pillows are also available to complete the look.
• Area rugs with Greek-inspired patterns are also available in dark and light neutral tones. Decorative Greek pillows and vases can be used to carry the style throughout your dining or lounge area.

Create the cozy outdoor living spaces of your dreams with outdoor area rugs from Williams Sonoma. Use these large, weather-resistant rugs to create and define separate areas for outdoor dining and lounging or keep them indoors to decorate high-traffic indoor living spaces. With simple neutral options as well as boldly patterned options to choose from, it's easy to find a great rug that fits your design personality.
