How Can a Rug Improve Your Outdoor Space?<\/h2>\n

You might be more familiar with rugs for your living room, but there are stylish and functional rugs made for indoors and outdoors. A good outdoor rug<\/a> does more than just add a little bit of decor\u2014it can help to shape the design of your outdoor living space.<\/p>\n

It creates an intimate space<\/h3>\n

Laying down a rug under a dining set or a group of comfy adirondack chairs tells people that this is a place to gather! A rug creates a central area in your landscaping that captures the feeling of a room without any walls at all. It invites people to come together and get cozy.<\/p>\n

It gives a space delineation<\/h3>\n

Inside your house, you have obvious rooms: dining room, living room, kitchen, etc. Outside, you have no walls to break up your space! Rugs can help to distinguish your dedicated grilling zone from the cushy patio area where you kick back to enjoy happy hour.<\/p>\n

It tells people how to move through the space<\/h3>\n

It might not seem like a big deal at first, but it\u2019s important to the outdoor design process to establish how people will move through your landscape. A long runner rug can guide people from your kitchen to your outdoor dining space, while a statement outdoor patio rug will help remind people that the patio is NOT the right path for muddy boots to come inside from the garden.<\/p>\n
