Garden inspiration: round outdoor rugs!

Straight and narrow. When it comes to garden layout, rectangular shapes are second nature to some, while for others they're a bit boring. For that latter group there's a great alternative: round outdoor rugs! A perfect way to dress up an outdoor space and finally break away from all those straight lines. We're here for it! You too? Read on!

Benefits

Sometimes an outdoor space feels a bit bare. Especially when the flowers and plants aren't in bloom yet and the grass isn't as green as it once was. An outdoor rug can serve as a nice filler to keep the whole thing looking good. For instance, choose a floral pattern if you want to be surrounded by flora. An outdoor rug also brings together garden furniture. That unity also immediately contributes to creating a cosy home feeling. A round outdoor rug in particular is a good option to give things a bit more flair. Place your round outdoor rug under a round garden table, with a garden set or next to a lounger.

Besides being stylish, an outdoor rug is very functional. Think of cold or hot tiles that limit you from walking barefoot through your outdoor space. An outdoor rug can also serve as a picnic rug or play rug for children.

How to choose a round outdoor rug

1. Determine the right size. You do this by measuring the furniture where the rug will be placed. If you have a garden table, allow extra space so that pulled-out garden chairs also sit on the outdoor rug. Have a round garden table and want to put a round outdoor rug under it? As a rule of thumb: choose an outdoor rug that is twice as large as the diameter of the table. Combine a table with a diameter of 100 with a round outdoor rug 200cm.

2. Choose the style that suits you. Draw your indoor style out to the outside or create a completely new look. For example, consider a jute outdoor rug if you're going for a laid-back Bohemian vibe, or complete your vintage interior with a vintage outdoor rug.

3. Place your outdoor rug in the desired spot. Style it for completeness with matching cushions and accessories. Now the enjoyment can really begin!
