Adding an outdoor rug is one of the easiest ways to elevate the design of your patio decor. It will define your space and tie everything together. While decorating my patio this spring, I stumbled over Ruggable’s rugs and was amazed at all the colors and fun patterns they’ve recently added. Last week I rounded up my favorite outdoor patio furniture, so I figured, why not share the best outdoor rugs for your backyard along with the rug I chose for my space.

What Outdoor Rug Did I Choose For My Patio?
Normally, I would lean towards a neutral rug so as to not overpower my decor (I learned my lesson with the DeNimes paint in the living room); however, outdoor decor is a bit different. With green plants, a blue sky, and furniture, that’s a lot of competition. Hence this big bold pattern. I wanted a rug that would hold its own and ground the seating area. A hero of the space so to speak. I chose the Medley area rug! What do you think? I’m obsessed and stoked that this rug is also washable.
