The best places in your home for an outdoor rug

Outdoor rugs have long since broken free from being confined to your balcony, back garden or terrace. Their robust material and trendy designs make them ideal for all sorts of places in the home. Think for example of:

The kitchen – This is where life happens, spills and splashes occur. No problem for an outdoor rug! Thanks to its dirt-repellent and easy-to-clean material, the rug stays fresh-looking, even after a pasta sauce incident. Ideal under the dining table or use a balcony rug as an atmosphere-maker in an open kitchen.

The hallway – The first thing you see when you come in? Let it be a warm welcome! An outdoor rug in the hallway catches dirt from outside, is resistant to wet shoes and makes an instant style statement. Practical and inviting.

The bathroom – Sounds surprising perhaps, but trust us: an outdoor rug feels right at home here. Thanks to quick-drying and moisture-resistant materials, you can enjoy a cosy rug by your bath or shower without worrying about it getting mouldy or smelly.

The children's room – Playing, building, making a mess – an outdoor rug can handle it all! The sturdy structure makes the rug resistant to intensive use, while fun prints create a cheerful atmosphere in the children's room. Looking for extra playfulness? Then opt for a round outdoor rug.

The conservatory or garden room – Indoors with a touch of outdoors, or outdoors with the comfort of indoors? In a conservatory or garden room, an outdoor rug really comes into its own. It adds warmth and cosiness while effortlessly withstanding sunlight and humid air.

Indoor and outdoor rugs: the best of both worlds

Not every rug can take a knock, but outdoor rugs are designed for it. They're often woven from sturdy synthetic materials such as polypropylene, making them easy to maintain and hard-wearing.

A perfect example? The Kairo indoor and outdoor rug collection! These stylish rugs with a vintage look are specially designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Think beautiful vintage prints, warm colours and a soft feel! Ideal if you want to turn your living room into a summer oasis, or if you want to give your balcony an extra cosy feel.

• Mix & match with materials: Combine the rug with soft fabrics like linen or velvet for a beautiful contrast.
• Go for colour or pattern: Let your outdoor rug speak! A bold print can add extra cosiness to an otherwise neutral interior. Go for a vintage outdoor rug or choose an orange outdoor rug for extra impact.
