If you want to capture the richly layered look of a courtyard at a posh hotel, investing in an outdoor rug is key. Rugs add texture, visual interest, comfort, and make an outdoor space instantly feel more inviting. With performance materials like polypropylene, outdoor rugs can mimic the woven look and feel of natural fiber rugs but can be easily cleaned and are fade and stain resistant. Their low maintenance nature makes them perfect contenders for high-traffic areas or outdoor spaces with kids, pets, pools, or hot tubs.
We've curated some of the best options available online, with a range of styles, functions, and budgets in mind. If you're in the market for something bold and patterned or neutral and tonal, we've found outdoor rugs that suit all aesthetics. If you're searching for a rug that can withstand water for an uncovered patio or pool area or you want a reversible option you can flip in between washes, we've found them all. From affordable outdoor rugs to luxury options that look like they've been plucked from the grounds of a boutique hotel, we have a contender for every budget. Keep reading to find your perfect outdoor rug match, and get your patio furniture ready.

Best Affordable Outdoor Rug
TKOOFN Indoor/Outdoor Modern Rug ($34)
Made of durable virgin polypropylene, this modern outdoor rug is ideal for the beach, camping, front porch, or patio. Its modern geometric pattern is reversible, and it even comes with a carrying bag for easy storage or to take on the go.
Best Woven Outdoor Rug
Safavieh Courtyard Collection Indoor/Outdoor Rug ($40, originally $134)
While it's made with polypropylene, the woven fibers of this solid outdoor rug mimic the look of a sisal rug. The natural color will blend seamlessly with any decor and can be cleaned with a hose or soapy water and hung to dry.
Best Stylish Outdoor Rug
Colonia Berber Stripe Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug ($69-$137)
A striped pattern is a timeless motif that transcends trends, so you won't have to worry about tiring of it too quickly. This patterned outdoor rug comes in a handsome charcoal that's easy on the eyes and hides stains. It also has a perfect five-star rating, with customers raving about its easy care and quality.
Best Outdoor Rug From Amazon
Nicole Miller New York Patio Country Wynona Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug ($88, originally $200)
This polypropylene outdoor rug has over 200 reviews on Amazon with an average rating of four and a half stars. If you're undecided about whether to opt for a pattern or something solid, this subtly striped rug is a great go-between.
Best Transitional Outdoor Rug
Nicole Miller New York Patio Country Danica Transitional Geometric Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug ($97)
Woven from high-quality polypropylene yarns with a cozy cut pile, this outdoor patio rug is durable without being rough on your feet. It's fade and weather resistant, plus it can be swept and even hosed down to clean, perfect for those who want something with minimal upkeep.
Best Outdoor Rug From Wayfair
Brennen Tribal Black Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug ($77, originally $300)
Available in a variety of sizes and shapes — which include ovals, circles, and rectangles — this stylish outdoor rug is surprisingly versatile. Even though it features an intricate pattern, its neutral tones complement all sorts of designs and color schemes.
Best Braided Outdoor Rug
Pottery Barn Performance Outdoor Rug ($99-$1,899)
This bestselling outdoor rug from Pottery Barn captures the look of a natural fiber rug but is made from durable polypropylene. It's available in a range of neutral hues, from pale Heathered Parchment to a deep Heathered Honey shade.
Best Washable Outdoor Rug
Ruggable Outdoor Loma Natural Rug ($129)
If you've longed for a light-toned rug but dread the inevitable dirt build up and stains, this natural outdoor rug is perfect for you. You can put this entire rug in the washing machine and forget about it — no scrubbing on your hands and knees necessary.
Best Outdoor Rug For Rain
Ruggable Outdoor Adde Black Rug ($229)
Like most outdoor rugs from Ruggable, this style is designed to withstand the elements, but it can also be thrown into the washing machine for a thorough cleaning. Its water-resistant barrier also helps to prevent mold growth. Mud and even excessive water from a torrential downpour aren't a match for this washable rug.
Best Design Outdoor Rug
Lulu and Georgia Yamina Indoor / Outdoor Rug ($298-$958)
A Lulu and Georgia bestseller, this modern outdoor rug offers loads of style with its tonal palette and geometric pattern. Style it indoors or outdoors without having to worry about fading, mildew, or stains.
Best Sustainable Outdoor Rug
West Elm Poolside Geo Indoor/Outdoor Rug ($299-$799)
Unlike other outdoor rugs, this style is made of recycled polyester that's both soft and durable. The large-scale, playful pattern is even reversible, so you can easily flip it in between washes. We love this crisp blue and white palette, but it also comes in a khaki option that has a monochromatic vibe if you prefer that.
