Rug Layering

What’s better than sprucing up your patio with a beautiful outdoor rug? Using two rugs! That's right, layering is a popular trend where you can incorporate unique combinations of rug styles, colors and textures. The only rule to layering rugs is the bottom rug needs to be larger than the top. We recommend saving plush rugs for the top layer. Rug layering is more of an art to express who you are rather than a science. For your patio, we suggest that you layer rugs like this 7' x 10' Outdoor Basic Rug on the bottom and this 5' x 8' Aruba Outdoor Rug on top.

Color Trends

In home decor, color trends come and go every year. That’s why we suggest selecting timeless colors for your outdoor patio rugs that will make a statement throughout every season. Here are our favorite rugs based on the hottest color trends.

Is your style more classic? The color blue is a timeless staple, whether you are going for a dark blue, light blue, bright blue or a simple splash of blue.

Looking to add a little spunk to your patio? Add green! Green is a fun, yet calming color to add to your space. When adding green to your space you are bringing in a natural vibe, but also a pop of color to make your space brighter.

Eco-Friendly Rugs

We offer a wide variety of Eco-Friendly rugs that are good for the environment as well as for your home. Our eco-friendly rugs are made of recycled materials to reduce waste and conserve energy. We’ve also partnered with the Eden Reforestation Project to plant a tree for every purchase.

Our Eco Plaid Indoor/Outdoor Collection is constructed using 100% recycled plastic bottles. These hand-woven rugs are also machine washable and can be used indoors or outdoors. With softness and durability that can rival wool, you can rest assured that these eco-friendly rugs are a great choice for any outdoor space.

Bohemian Rugs

For many, the words “bohemian” or “boho” represent more than a set of design or style guidelines. For these true bohemians, the aesthetic is reflective of a view that embraces creativity, expressiveness, and worldliness. Bohemian style is a multi-cultural melange of layered colors and patterns. Ready to build out your boho space? Start with a bold area rug like one of these.

Natural Rugs

We love natural rugs for covered patios or sunrooms. They’re durable, versatile, and perfect for adding an organic element in your space. Natural rugs also make fantastic layering options.

Rugs.com makes ordering your rugs a seamless experience, plus they offer free shipping on every order and free returns.
