Three tips on how you can shop for outdoor rugs:

• Measure and decide on what size of outdoor rug you need: Before you buy any type of rug for your porch or patio you will want to measure your patio area so that you know how much room you have to work with. This also gives you a good idea on what type of shape and size you can choose from. If you want just a small rug around the front of your door you may choose a small rectangle outdoor mat. If you are trying to protect your patio from scuffs and damage that may occur from your furniture then you may decide that you need an oval, circular patio rug that will fit beautifully underneath and around your favorite patio table and chairs.
• Choose outdoor rug material that is durable: One of the first things that you do have to realize that this outdoor area rug has to hold up to the weather (elements) and still look beautiful. There are several choices you can choose from such as natural accent rugs that are made from bamboo or Sisal the downside of this material though is it can become susceptible to mold and mildew if it is exposed to snow and rain for long periods. If you live in a harsher climate you may want to consider outdoor rugs that are made of synthetic fibers such as acrylic or polypropylene. With this type of material you will find that it won't be as easily damaged from the elements. If you're in a mild climate area then you have the choice of lighter materials for your indoor/outdoor rug.
• Choose Design/style that complements your home: Take a look at the interior and exterior of your home so that you can choose a rug that will suit the decor that your home already has. If you choose vibrant colors and unique patterns for your deck they may look out of place. I home that have a more traditional decor will benefit more from the natural rugs or outdoor mats that come in beige, tan brown and black. If you have more of a contemporary home then you will find that the black-and-white rugs that come in a geometric pattern will be a beautiful choice. Try to put your own personality into it and don't give up on all colors because depending on where the rug lays makes a big difference. If it is around a swimming pool you may want to indulge in a striped rug that is both colorful and round this will brighten up your outdoor area.
