When shopping for a rug, make sure it specifically says "outdoor" in the description. They will usually have low pile to reduce shedding, and qualities like fade resistance, water resistance, and washability. In the recent livestream event with Ree Drummond about The Pioneer Woman's outdoor collection, she pointed out a bonus feature that outdoor rugs have. "It's never a good idea to use an indoor rug outside, but you can use an outdoor rug inside," she explains. And she's so right! Any of these pick would look great in a sunroom, mudroom, or any high-traffic area.

Here, you'll find all different shapes, sizes, and patterns to suit your style and needs, no matter your budget or the size of your space. Now all you need is a cozy outdoor blanket, and you'll never want to leave your patio!

Pros
  • Large size selection
Cons
  • Tightly rolled when shipped, so may take time to flatten

If you want something simple and straightforward, a solid rug is the way to go. Safavieh offers ten gorgeous neutral and tonal shades and a whopping 30-plus size options. So if you don't need something as big as this 8x10 option, you can go as small as a 2.3x5 runner. They're all resistant to stains, weather, and light, and the short pile won't shed.

Material:Polypropylene

Care: Rinse with soapy water and air dry

  • Fold creases may take time to flatten

Think of this pick as two for the price of one, because it's reversible! No matter which side you like better, the edges are pretreated to keep fraying at bay. Plus, the rug is portable! It folds up and fits into a bag, so you can travel with it in your camper or tuck it away for easy storage during the winter.
