8 OUTDOOR RUGS TO SPICE UP YOUR GARDEN

When you think about it, our outdoor spaces whether it be a garden, patio or balcony are really just an extension of our interiors. The way that we are choosing to live and build our homes means that the line between indoors and outdoors have all but become a blur. These outdoor retreats have become our escape from technology and the fast pace of life.  It makes sense to create a stylish comfort zone. That’s where outdoor rugs can make quite an impact and be transformative, much the same as rugs are to our interiors.

Whats also great about outdoor rugs is that they can easily be incorporated indoors as well. They’re durability and easy care attributes make them perfect for integrating them inside as well. Think kitchens, and bathrooms as they’re great for high traffic areas or messy kids, or in my case a grown-up one.

I’ve rounded up 10  Outdoor Rugs To Spice Up Your Garden to tempt you….

    I found this more than a little interesting, as I recently used some outdoor rugs on an over-water extension of a boathouse. They were fantastic for breaking up the large expanse of timber, and also for injecting a touch of home comfort to a commercial outdoor space. Ace post, as per usual :) xx
