The Power Loom Indoor/Outdoor Rug from Nicole Miller is just one example of a great outdoor rug and one of our favorite manufacturers. Nicole Miller is best known as a respected clothing designer and her agency has expanded into other specialties, including luggage, jewelry, and home and landscape goods.

The Nicole Miller Power Loom Indoor/Outdoor Rug of course has a strong geometric design brought by the early inspirations of the Nicole Miller fashion line. It brings everything you need to any indoor social space or outdoor living space with its fashion-based inclinations and high-quality construction of polypropylene.

Choosing Patterns

Ultimately, outdoor rugs are chosen for how they make you feel, not necessarily their patterns. Having seen some bold stripes, abstracts, and geometric patterns, which style makes you feel most welcome? Which style brings the kind of energy you want in your outdoor space? Browse the different color combinations available in each rug, and you’ll see that even the same pattern can create a different feel. The takeaway: shop by feel, not by pattern.
