Reasons Why Outdoor Rugs are Great Indoors

Modern outdoor rugs have a softer surface feel than you might expect. Manufacturing techniques have improved over the years. Advances in synthetic fibers make it possible to mimic natural fibers. All this means that many outdoor rugs are comfortable enough to make gliding your bare feet over them a pleasure.

Compared to natural fiber rugs, an outdoor rug is great way to add style without breaking the bank. The rugs are available in many colors and styles, with patterns from geometric and traditional to animal print. The wide range of styles means that you can find a rug to suit almost any decor.

Synthetic and blended fiber outdoor rugs are perfect for busy indoor areas. Kitchens, dining rooms and other spill-prone rooms benefit from having a stain-resistant rug between disaster and the flooring. Outdoor rugs are also kid and pet friendly. These rugs stand up well to heavy foot traffic and rough treatment in entryways, mudrooms and other rooms where the family might gather.

Outdoor rugs have a few advantages that make them easy to maintain.

• Lightweight: Outdoor rugs are easy to move around. It’s also easy to flip them to clean the reverse side.
• Easy-clean materials: Spills can be quickly wiped up. Synthetic fibers are also more stain-resistant than natural ones.
• Wash and go: Most outdoor rugs are easy to deep clean. Wash with mild soap and a brush, then a thorough rinse with the hose are all that is needed. These rugs also dry more quickly than indoor rugs.

Outdoor rugs are designed with the elements in mind. The colors stay vibrant, even under exposure to direct sunlight. The sun may trace a path across the rug for years, but the beauty of the surface remains.
