When it comes to outdoor decor, the brighter the better! If you are drawn toward these colors but are hesitant to use them inside, here is your chance. These bright, bold colors reflect what you see in nature like flowers, grass and the sky. The above photo shows a great example of a bright, fun outdoor rug!
Durability is Key

Selecting an outdoor rug that is durable needs to be top priority. It may seem like a good idea to have a rug with an all white background after seeing it in a magazine, but once you have it outside for a few weeks you will quickly realize it may not have been the best idea. Its also important to select a rug that is specifically made for outdoor use and includes mold and mildew resistant treatment and/or fade resistant treatment.
Choose the Right Size for your Area

Before purchasing a rug for your outdoor area, you want to make sure you get the appropriate size. Take a tape measure out to your seat grouping and test out the different size options for the rug you are interested in i.e. 5’x7’, 8’x10’, 9’x12’ etc. You want to make sure that all of the the front feet on all furniture are on the rug. You can also choose to have all feet on the rug as well.
