Types of Outdoor Rugs

When it comes to choosing an outdoor rug, there are several options available. Here at Big Lots, we offer a variety of styles, sizes, and materials to fit your specific needs.

Outdoor Area Rugs

Our outdoor area rugs come in a range of sizes, from compact 5x7 rugs to larger 8x10 rugs. A versatile outdoor rug is perfect for adding color and texture to any outdoor space. Big Lots offers a wide range of colors and styles, from casual turf grass outdoor area rugs to bright, red and orange area rugs. Plus, they're easy to clean and maintain, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas, especially if you have children or pets.

Outdoor Doormats

If you're looking for a smaller option, an outdoor doormat is the perfect choice. These compact outdoor rugs are great for adding a bit of style to your front porch or entryway. Big Lots carries everything from simple doormats to charming, unique doormats that express your personality. Outdoor doormats also serve as a functional barrier between your shoes and the inside of your home, so you don't have to worry about tracking mud into your house every time you come into your home.

Tips for Choosing the Right Outdoor Rug

With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect outdoor rug for your needs. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making your selection:

  • Consider the size of your space: First and foremost, think about how much space you have available for an outdoor rug. Measure your area to ensure you choose a rug that fits comfortably. Big Lots has everything from small 15" x 30" doormats to large 8' x 10' area rugs.
  • Think about the style: Our outdoor rugs come in a variety of colors, patterns, and textures. Consider the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space and choose a rug that complements it. When in doubt, choose a neutral outdoor rug that will suit all styles.
  • Choose a durable material: Since outdoor rugs are exposed to the elements, it's important to choose one that can withstand rain, sun, and foot traffic. A waterproof outdoor rug is a great option for this purpose.
  • Don't be afraid to mix and match: If you have a larger outdoor space, don't be afraid to mix and match large rugs and small rugs in different but complementing styles.. This can add visual interest and create defined areas within your space.
