The Best Indoor-Outdoor Rugs for 2023
Bringing soft indoor furnishings such as rugs, blankets and cushions to your outdoor living design is a simple way to create a cosier, homelier garden space. Avid landscapers can inject a fresh burst of style by taking advantage of interior design trends, like eye-catching patterns and pastel tones.
From patios and decks to balconies and terraces, an indoor-outdoor rug can have a cohesive effect, as well as mark out distinct zones such as seating areas and al-fresco dining sections. Uniquely designed to be weather-resistant and able to withstand high foot traffic like outdoor rugs, multi-use rugs also provide the comfort and softness of an indoor rug.
At Rugs Direct, we stock a huge selection of the best indoor-outdoor rugs, which are designed to be used year-round to provide comfort and warmth in the winter and protection in the summer. These rugs are made using high-quality materials which blend durability with soft textures to result in a versatile solution for your entire home.

The Best Features for Indoor-Outdoor Rugs
Indoor-outdoor rugs are incredibly adaptable, with features such as the material, design and shape all being selected for their versatility. As such, when it comes to purchasing your perfect indoor-outdoor rug, there are a number of factors to keep in mind to ensure that it can deliver to your needs:
Material
The material of your indoor-outdoor rug is one of the main factors making it suitable for use both inside and outside. There are a select few materials which provide the durability and weather-resistance required for a rug that will be placed in high-traffic areas, whilst still providing the expected warmth, comfort and softness underfoot.
For an indoor-outdoor rug, some of the best materials to look out for when making your purchase are:
- Polypropylene: Also known as olefin, polypropylene rugs are a go-to for many homeowners, offering an excellent stain-resistant, easy-to-clean option for outdoors whilst maintaining a softness underfoot for indoor use. Recycled plastics are often used to increase sustainability and reduce waste.
- Nylon: Known for its durability and resistance to stains and fading, nylon is another popular material choice for indoor-outdoor rugs. The material is uniquely lightweight, making it easily transported between your garden and home depending on the season.
- Sisal: For a more natural look, sisal is a fantastic option which delivers on aesthetics as well as functionality. In addition to being a renewable, eco-friendly material, sisal is particularly popular as an indoor-outdoor rug to ensure it stays as good as new during the rainier seasons, as it’s less water-resistant than other materials.
Shape and Size
When it comes to purchasing a rug which is just as at home outdoors as it is indoors, shape and size are important factors. Not only does your indoor-outdoor rug need to have sufficient space in both areas to have the desired effect, but the shape of your rug can impact where it can realistically be placed.
Popular for the 2023 season, runner rugs are perfect for alternating between hallways and small rooms, balconies and outdoor walkways. Alternatively, large regular shapes such as rectangles are perfect for sitting both indoor and outdoor furniture on.
With a huge range of indoor-outdoor rug sizes available on the Rugs Direct website, from 80cm x 150cm to 240cm x 340cm, you can even try layering different shapes and sizes to create a modern, stylish effect.
Colour and Pattern
Experimenting with different colours and patterns is a great way to stay on trend when the new season rolls around. When choosing your ideal multipurpose rug, you should keep in mind the decorative effect you’re hoping to achieve both indoors and outdoors, as well as any decor that’s already in place.
Whether you’re hoping to create contrast or cohesion, we have a broad range of varying styles, patterns and colours to choose from. Bright colours, such as reds and yellows, and abstract patterns can cast a striking focal point against neutral furniture or decking, whilst more subdued designs and muted tones are easier to place in a variety of settings.
