Guest Picks: Superstylish Indoor-Outdoor Rugs

As designers in Atlanta, we are asked regularly by our clients to create comfortable, functional and durable spaces that are also beautiful. Our clients require rooms that can withstand pets, kids and the wear and tear of the busy lives they lead. One of our go-to products is the outdoor rug. These hardworking, sun-resistant, easy-to-clean pieces are great for high-traffic areas.

And gone are the days of outdoor rugs that look like they belong on the deck or by the pool. The colors, patterns and weaves available now don’t resemble anything like the brightly colored polyethylene outdoor rugs of the past. Today’s outdoor rugs are deeper and softer, and fit right into a living or dining room. They’re a perfect way to enjoy furnishings without worrying about muddy paws, kitchen spills and kids. These attractive rugs fit the bill for beauty, comfort, function and durability! — Kelly and Joann from Kandrac & Kole

Animal Outdoor Rug, Pear - $299 This faux zebra rug is a wild fit for a sunroom or porch. The hand-hooked and sculpted loops will feel luxurious between your toes.


Cape Cod Rug Here’s a happy yellow rug that can brighten a room. The fishy print would be just darling for a beach or lake house that needs a little sunshine. And because it’s made from polypropylene, it is outdoor and sunshine safe!

The sweet words are inspired by a famous French poem, and the variety of colors makes it functional for any space. We love it for a nursery or playroom.

Gianna Recycled Yarn Kilim Indoor-Outdoor Rug - $59 If you love the look of an antique kilim rug, then you’re going to fall hard for this recycled-yarn multicolored beauty. It is yarn dyed to provide long-lasting color, and the fringe has a comfortable indoor look even when you use the rug outside.


Samode Graphite/Ivory Indoor-Outdoor Rug - $43 Because gray is officially the new neutral, this graphic print beauty is a must-have. It is washable and bleachable, perfect for a patio or a kitchen. We love the graphite color too.


Colours I-O CO07 Veranda Rug This colorful rug is fun and full of energy. We can picture it perfectly on a patio under an arbor or on a sophisticated lanai. The pattern lends itself to an indoor vibe, so pair it with a comfortable outdoor sofa, get cozy and enjoy a glass of wine. It would also be great inside for a casual family room.


Rayas Outdoor Kilim - $49 There is something so sleek about the concrete tones in this West Elm outdoor kilim. We think it would be great for a city-chic patio or living room. The yarns are made from recycled plastic bottles.


Pink-Orange Bordered Flat-Woven Indoor-Outdoor Rug - $149.99 We’ve had a longtime love affair with black and white, and this pink-bordered beauty is the perfect example of why. It is hand crafted out of recycled plastic bottles and can be hosed off when it gets a little dirty.


Lucky Green and White Rug - $39 Apple green has been on our radar lately, and this rug would look absolutely adorable under a dining room table, inside or out. The threads are UV stabilized to reduce fading, and the rug be hosed off. Buy on Houzz


Diamond Coral Indoor-Outdoor Rug - $159 Perfect for high-traffic spaces or an outdoor oasis, this coral cutie is made to be lived on! It’s great for a family room or under a dining room table. The small-scale pattern reads as a solid, so it won’t compete with any other exciting prints in your space.


Hacienda Spanish Tiles Outdoor Trellis Multi Rug - $316 This rug works hard, feels good on your toes and is a total showstopper. It is fun and festive enough to cheer up any kitchen or family room. It’s also sun, rain and mold resistant, making it perfect for a back porch.

Perennials Pinstripe Outdoor Rug - $195 These neutral rugs are made from high-quality acrylic that is almost identical to natural yarn. The material makes them tough and fade resistant for inside and out. We think they would make great high-traffic-entryway rugs.

Picnic PIC-4009 Rug This indoor-outdoor rug is sassy and fresh. The fuchsia and tangerine color combination is on trend for this summer, and the chevron pattern feels right at home in these vivid tones. And its low maintenance makes it even dreamier. It doesn’t shed, won’t fade, is reversible and is made from recycled materials.


Bunny Williams for Dash & Albert Cleo Blue Indoor-Outdoor Rug - $130 Bunny Williams designed this chic Cleo rug for Dash & Albert to be sophisticated and stylish both indoors and out. The kilim weave is interesting and appealing, and is superdurable for high-traffic areas.
