Outdoor rugs are great for defining a 'living area' in the garden. Whether you have a balcony, patio or small garden that you want to zone off, an outdoor rug is an affordable decor update and a great way to create a focal point.

Think of it like bringing the inside out – you can decorate your patio or seating area with outdoor rugs, outdoor cushions, garden lanterns, and more garden accessories that will really help to create a cosy space.

You can buy a garden rug from as little as £15 to in excess of £200, and it really depends on the brand, material and size. You can find rectangular outdoor rugs, circular outdoor rugs or runner rugs.

'Outdoor rugs are being used to extend the living space beyond the house,' says Daniel Prendergast, Design Director at therugseller.co.uk. 'Outdoor rugs are also quite practical – bringing less dirt indoors from underfoot and covering "imperfect" grass and patios.'

  • Materials

Outdoor rugs are often manufactured from weatherproof material, such as polypropylene – a synthetic resin that's affordable, durable and easy to clean. It's handwoven to form a resistant surface.

There are also natural materials such as jute and hemp which can be used outdoors. Alternatively, you could opt for a washable rug, and you'll often find many rugs double up for indoor and outdoor use.

For the eco-conscious, it's definitely worth investing in a recyclable rug. For example, Fab Hab recycles plastic into floor rugs for indoor and outdoor use, and they're super stylish, too.

  • Care

Unless a garden rug is resistant to mildew, outdoor rugs need to be properly cared for to stop a build-up of mud and mildew to extend their life, so it's advisable to store your rug inside or in a waterproof container when not in use for extended periods of time.

You should always shake off your outdoor rug to remove any debris, grass or muck. Check the care instructions on your outdoor rug before attempting to clean it.

Mud is easier to remove when it's dry, so simply shake or brush off. Outdoor rugs can also be vacuumed but ensure they're dry and be sure to shake off the worst of the dirt first. For outdoor rugs that can be washed, The Rug Seller recommends using a mixture of washing up liquid and warm water to gently rub away dirt and stains using a sponge or soft cloth. Gently hose off the rug and hang it out to dry afterwards.
