“Beautifully neutral!” - Crate & Barrel reviewer Yadubya

The Phidia Beige Geometric Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Crate & Barrel is every bit as simple as it is welcoming. The modern design is defined by a gentle beige background that contrasts well with classic brick, hardwoods, and exposed steel, and provides a gorgeous backdrop for flowers. Criss crossing the rug is a series of casual lines arranged in a loose pattern that’s not quite geometric, and not quite freehand. In a strong commitment to the health of the environment, this rug is constructed using recycled plastic fibers from plastic soda bottles. This polyester construction makes it easy to clean and ensures durability for years to come. It’s available in 6 different sizes ranging from 6 square feet up to 108 square feet.

The Hesper Striped Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Crate & Barrel is another great versatile rug option with its modern striped design. It begins with a cream base and gentle gray tones that bring a softness to an outdoor living space. While strong in its construction due to the recycled polyester yarn from recycled plastic bottles, it echoes the charms of a handwoven rug reminiscent of rustic rugs made of sheep’s wool. All we know is it’s cozy underfoot. Unlike natural wool fibers however, this recycled polyester rug is easy to clean with just a garden hose and dish soap. Hang it to dry and it’ll be good to go, keeping you cozy and comfortable outdoors. You can currently find this rug in 3 different sizes ranging from 6 square feet up to 108 square feet.

The design is then finished off with an alternating diagonal line fringe. For something that feels like a gorgeous modern art piece, it’s also eco-friendly.

“Absolutely love this rug” - Crate & Barrel reviewer claire

The Inavi Blue Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Crate & Barrel brings a gorgeous nautical theme to your outdoor living space or indoor rooms. The main color in the rug is a dark navy blue which concentrates in the center, broken up by thin white lines. Then, various shades of grays and other colors bookend the blue. It’s got the look of a traditional nautical design but with a delightful modern flair. Even though it’s made from polyester fibers sourced from recycled plastic bottles, it still has the softness and pleasing texture of a natural wool covering. This makes it perfect for busy outdoor settings with kids and pets running around. Despite being fairly soft underfoot, this rug won’t disintegrate in areas of high foot traffic. It’ll also be easy to clean with just a hose and some soap. It’s currently available in 5 different sizes, ranging from 15 square feet to 108 square feet.

Now that you have some great ideas for the perfect outdoor rug from Crate & Barrel, here are some design tips to pull the space together.

Placing an Outdoor Rug

The placement of your outdoor rugs will have a great impact on the look and feel of your outdoor living spaces. Some outdoor rugs are intended to cover the entire space underneath seats and tables. This can make the space feel a little warmer visually and gives the space an indoor feel. Some rugs are best suited as runners to help direct foot traffic through a certain area. And some are intended as accents that are centrally located in a lounge area, but don’t extend under the furniture.

The Case for Outdoor Mats

An often underappreciated part of an outdoor living space is the outdoor mat at the transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces. Sure, it’s practical, giving you a place to dry off shoes a little bit or stomp off some snow before stepping inside and tracking moisture or soil on the floor. However, the outdoor mat can be a thematic addition to any outdoor space that features an outdoor rug. You can make some wonderful pairings with the two.

If you’ve never had an outdoor rug before, be ready for some serious comfort that makes the space as cozy as an indoor room. These eco-friendly rugs are all excellent choices.
