Collection: Green Outdoor Rugs

Green outdoor rugs: the color nobody puts on the floor

Step onto almost any terrace and everything around you is already green — the planting, the lawn, the hedge, the pots. And yet green is the color people avoid underfoot, defaulting to gray or blue instead.

That is a missed opportunity. A green rug does not compete with a garden the way a blue one does; it joins in. The floor stops being a separate element and starts reading as part of the same scheme, which is exactly what you want in a space whose main feature is what is growing in it.

Which green

The shade decides the mood, and there is more range here than people expect.

• Sage and muted greens are the safest. They are gray enough to behave like a neutral and green enough to pick up the planting, so they work on a modern terrace as readily as a cottage one.
• Fresh mid-greens in a stripe or gingham read as crisp and summery — the awning-stripe and picnic register.
• Deep forest and olive hold up best where the rug gets used hard. Darker grounds show less, and they carry into fall when a brighter green starts to look out of season.

Pattern or plain

If the planting around the rug is loose and abundant, a quiet green — a fine stripe, a dense tonal texture, a small check — will settle into the space without adding another voice. If the terrace is mostly hard landscaping with a few pots, a botanical or folk pattern gives you the softness the space is missing.

Material and sizes

Woven in soft polyester chenille with a short, dense nap — low-pile and flat rather than thick, and comfortable enough to walk on barefoot. The no-skid polyester backing grips decking, concrete and pavers, so no rug pad is needed. Water-resistant, mildew-resistant and quick-drying.

Four sizes: 24″ × 36″, 36″ × 60″, 48″ × 72″ and 60″ × 84″. Free US shipping on every order.
