Here lately, the trend in stylish relaxation is for out to be in. We’re foregoing our dens, family rooms and kitchens for our porches, patios, poolsides, decks and lawns. Traditional rug-makers have responded by rethinking their indoor lines for outside use, while outdoor-furnishings companies have brought their own expertise to bear on this central piece of any “outdoor room.” At Outdoor Rugs Only, we offer you the best of both worlds, from inspired designs woven wholly or in part from bold synthetic yarns that bear up to heavy wear and harsh outdoor weather, to playfully exotic bamboo rugs and hardy outdoor mats with contemporary and Oriental motifs. We’d love to help you frame your favorite outdoor space with durable, functional fashion – with beautiful rugs that last!
We’re proud to offer a diverse assortment of exceptional outdoor rugs from a cherry-picked group of top-name manufacturers. Nonetheless, when you’re choosing a rug to suit your own personal needs, how it’s made is initially more important than who it’s made by. Here then is a basic guide to the four types of rugs we carry:
Handmade:
More specifically, hand-hooked. Handmade equals more detail, and many more color options, than with machine-made rugs. It also means that no two rugs can be exactly the same. Our hand-hooked rugs, woven with cottony-soft, weather-defying, all-synthetic DuraCord® yarns, are no short-term indulgence, they’re a long-term investment. Blending inspired design with an uncanny ability to last, these heirloom-quality rugs are as at home in the airy sunroom or on the polished beach-house floor as they are on the weathered back deck.
Machine-made:
Less expensive, and typically lighter-weight, than handmade rugs, but often with comparable durability. Our imaginative designs, including up to five separate colors, are woven with computer precision from a new generation of synthetic yarns, balancing weather-toughness with surprising softness. That means a long outdoor life, minimal upkeep and a sincere treat for naked feet.
Bamboo:
Among the toughest, most-resilient plants on the planet. Our aged-bamboo rugs and mats are crafted from the world’s most sought-after bamboo, straight from the environmentally managed highland gardens in the Anji region of China. However, this very “green” collection includes delightful colors and patterns that Mother Nature only wishes she’d thought of! Our mats and rugs are fine for limited outdoor use – but please don’t leave these lovely items out full-time. All bamboo products come with a ventilated, non-slip, synthetic rug pad already attached.
Outdoor mats:
A Persian-style rug made from recycled soda bottles? Absolutely! Our economical, weather-durable mats, boasting a variety of vibrant designs, will boost the style of any small space. From comforting floral motifs to warm Southwestern flavors, appealing geometric patterns and, yes, the ancient Persian central-medallion, all of our mats are made from very modern polypropylene that, in many cases, is recycled from post-consumer plastic. Great looks that clean up with just a garden hose!
