The Top 8 Outdoor Rugs for Summer
The Top 8 Outdoor Rugs for Summer
Outdoor rugs are essential for making backyard seating areas feel pulled together. No single purchase can do more to define a space, whether you want a pop of color on your deck or something neutral that pairs well with your upholstered patio furniture. Thankfully, outdoor rugs are made to hold up to the elements and easy to maintain, plus they're relatively inexpensive, so buying one is a great way to change up your style or try out something new. Here are our top picks for the best outdoor rugs to buy now before they're out of stock.
1) Sol 72 Delray Outdoor Rug
This Moroccan-inspired print rug is a modern classic that’s eye-catching but not overpowering. It works well with a range of styles, from modern to contemporary, done in an attractive shade of teal. The low-pile rug is stain-resistant, made from polypropylene and power loomed in Turkey.
It comes in several other sizes, plus additional color options, including aquamarine and taupe. Keep in mind that it shouldn’t be left out in the rain, as is isn't treated to hold up in damp conditions.
2) Highland Dunes Busse Terracotta Area Rug

For a sophisticated look with a subtle touch of color, this chevron-pattern rug is a smart choice. Its lovely, soft terracotta hue almost works as a neutral, yet will still add visual interest to any space. The polypropylene rug is treated to be mildew- and water-resistant, plus it holds up well to most stains.
If you’d rather go for a rug that’s truly neutral, it’s available in taupe, black, and gray. It also comes multiple sizes along with square and round options.
3) Zipcode Design Juda Outdoor Rug

This cheery rug is perfect if you want a bright splash of color on your neutral deck or patio. Done in on-trend yellow-green, the low-pile polypropylene rug is fade- and stain-resistant, and it gets bonus points for hiding dirt better than solid rugs and some other patterns, thanks to its flatweave design and thin stripes.
It gets high marks from customers, with an average 4.7 stars from more than 240 reviewers. If the yellow-green is too bold for your taste, the rug also comes in brick red and an appealing azure blue.
4) Highland Dunes Vermehr Outdoor Rug
Highland Dunes
We love this pretty medium blue rug, with bold stripes that are simple but never boring. It’s made in Turkey from power loomed propylene, and looks just as good on a country porch or beach house patio as it does in any urban setting.
It’s available in a range of poppy colors and neutral hues, plus multiple sizes including 8 x 11. The rug is another customer favorite: More than 1,000 reviewers give it an average 4.6 stars.
5) Sol 72 Outdoor Rug
You can never go wrong with a classic. Border rugs are brilliant for defining a space, so this option is a particularly smart choice if you have a large patio or expansive deck. The rug is made in Egypt and looks like expensive jute, but it’s actually stain-resistant propylene, which is far easier to maintain. It also has a high-low weave, which gives it an upscale look. If you want to add some energy to your space, the rug is also available with a bright orange or ocean blue border, plus additional sizes.
6) My Texas House Outdoor Rug
My Texas House
Finding a traditional rug for an outdoor space can be a challenge, as it needs to look fresh, not heavy. While this pick is the priciest in our roundup (and may not be the best choice if you have young kids running across the deck with muddy feet) it’s a stunning option that won’t disappoint. It’s hard to argue with nearly 200 reviewers who give it an average 4.9 stars. It gives the appearance of expensive wool but it’s made of propylene, power loomed with a high-low pile. If you’re hesitant to go with always-elegant natural white, it’s also available in a handful of two-tone neutral shades.
7) Union Rustic Janiya Outdoor Rug

This rug has eclectic style that takes cues from traditional Southwestern textile design. It’s made in India from power loomed propylene, designed to be water- and fade-resistant, plus hold up well in high-traffic areas. The attractive navy and white print is busy but not over-the-top, which means it’s the kind of rug that can really pull a space together. The rug gets rave reviews from customers, with an impressive average five stars, and several use the word “love” in their comments.
8) Novogratz Umbria Outdoor Rug
For a modern rug with a playful spin, look no further than this option from Novogratz, a brand synonymous with well-priced Midcentury modern-inspired furniture and textiles. Made in Turkey, the power loomed propylene rug is designed to be water-resistant and spot cleaned. If you like the pattern but want something darker for more of a contrast with a light wood deck or patio, this rug is also available in a reverse print, with a charcoal background and heather gray accents.
