For me, Dash & Albert is the ULTIMATE in Outdoor Rugs. Their color pallets are incredible & they really have a great selection of Neutrals (which I always say...a good Neutral Rug can be moved from Room to Room effortlessly!). Here are a few of my Current Faves!
p.s. I know you are staring at the pic below thinking.... Those are Outdoor Rugs?? Yes! They ARE and they are made out of recycled water & soda bottles!
Why would I want an outdoor rug INSIDE, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you! *First a disclaimer* It's not for you, if you like soft, fluffy rugs with a thick pile.. sorry no..It's not for you. Outdoor Rugs inside ARE great for parents/grandparents with kids & grandkids that make huge MESSES! It's also great for Dog & Cat Lovers when the family pet is sometimes far from perfect and has an accident every now & then....
Let's take my dog daughter, Chloe, as an example. I mean, she can sense that something is new from the minute it comes in the house. Just itching to figure out what she can find to eat that will make her sick and subsequently yak all over it! It's gross & I'm sorry, but it's so true.
We just recently put an Outdoor Rug in my parents new house in the Dining Room. Specifically thinking about Ryder (my son) being young and all the current & future messes that he will make... along with thinking of my Dad (who still makes messes...sorry Dad). Little did we know, we would have the rug down less than a day... and Chloe would strike. I thought my Mom was going to kill her! I just prayed "Please come out, Please come out!". And it Did!! After a few sprays of a carpet cleaner, the stain was absolutely gone. So, there is the big positive..they clean up extremely well. I'll take it! It's just icing on top that they are so good looking.
Check out your favorite local retailers, too. I've found great Outdoor Rugs at Ballard Design, Pottery Barn, & even Target! Let me know what you find out there! I'd love to hear!
