6 Outdoor Rugs That Will Make a Big Style Impact on Your Small Patio, Balcony, or Porch

May 13, 2021

Your small outdoor space might be lacking in square feet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it look grand. With the right touch—particularly, the right outdoor rug— you can easily turn your small outdoor space into a relaxing haven perfect for taking in the fresh air and soaking up the sun. 

Whether you’ve got a small balcony, porch, or patio, a beautiful outdoor rug is the perfect way to add style and cushion without requiring a lot of room. If you need some style inspiration and rug ideas, check out how our favorite stylists decorated their small outdoor spaces with our washable rugs.

1. Double It Up: Linea Plaid Doormat and Outdoor Sailmaker Stripe Black Rug

Get twice the style without needing twice the space by layering your outdoor rugs. A doormat over a small outdoor rug looks great at the entrance of your home. Dress up the rest of your front porch with a small bench, pillows, and lots of plants that look great without taking up much room. 

2. Go for Bright: Outdoor Ombra Teal Rug

When you don’t have a large outdoor space to decorate, make a statement with a colorful rug. The balcony seen here might be small, but it has big style thanks to the bold outdoor rug in shades of teal and blue, a fun accent pillow, and lots of plants. 

3. Amp Up the Greenery: Outdoor Filifera Palm Green Rug

Turn your small outdoor space into a tropical oasis with a statement-making rug in a palm-leaf print. With a rug this bold, keep the rest of the decor simple. A neutral-colored table and  chairs plus a few hanging plants will do the trick. 

4. Keep It Classy: Outdoor Cleo Trellis Natural Rug

A trellis rug in a soft tan color looks great in a small outdoor space because the pattern is classic and simple, adding a touch of elegance. Keep the rest of the decor in the same color family for a monochrome look that’ll make the space look bigger. 

5. Add a Touch of Boho: Outdoor Nomada White Rug

Boho decor works great in small outdoor spaces because of its cozy, relaxing vibe. Opt for an outdoor rug in a black and white design to add visual interest to the area. Pair it with rattan furniture and lots of pillows and plants to create the perfect spot for curling up outside and enjoying nature. 

6. Keep It Simple: Outdoor Offset Stripe Black Rug

Sometimes the best way to make the most of your small outdoor space is to keep your decor simple and functional. A modern rug in a striped pattern, like the one seen here, adds just enough style to the balcony without overwhelming the space. Add a small table and some colorful chairs and you’ve got yourself the perfect little spot for dining al fresco.

    Hi, Mary! At this time, we unfortunately do not have any Outdoor Rugs matching that description. We do offer rugs that feature animal prints/designs (such as our Zebra Rugs, which come in multiple different colors/palettes), but they are all meant for indoor use only and none of them are compatible with outdoor spaces.

    With that said, we are happy to note your interest in seeing these designs added to our Outdoor Collection!✍
