It could very well be the last thing you think to add to an outdoor space — but literally ties it all together. What are we talking about? Rugs.
From cement pads to the newest lumber on the deck, outdoor rugs help unify a space (just like they do inside). Better yet, they add an element of cozy or comfort to the environment and you might just find more barefoot guests in your presence! So what’s the secret to a great outdoor rug? One word: polypropylene. You can read all about it here but we’ll synopsis that long-winded segment with it’s got a plastic coating to it which solves your cleaning, durability, etc issues.
Combine amazingly talented rug designers, hand-hooked materials woven into cool patterns with vibrant colors and a dose of P and you’ve got a rug designed to handle the worst of weather, kids, pets and party guests! (Tip: we use them in BUSY areas of households like hallways, playrooms, etc as frequently as we do outside.)
We just fell in love with these 10 patterns from one of vendors, Jaipur, in our sourcing travels for a client.
Speaking of that client who said to his Stylist “I need a red/white outdoor rug”….
Many people ask us why we don’t just put every product we sell online for you to search. The answer: because its a waste of your TIME. Have you noticed that you are busier than ever? If you do not have time to shop for furniture, you surely do not have time to spend days on end running about town or from one site to the next, only to be told that the items you like are not in stock or size or color.
Tell your free Stylist what furnishings you are looking for, answer a few questions and they will quickly pull together a short list of product options for you to review. It may be a mix of love and hate, and sometimes back and forth with your Stylist, however once you decide what you like you order through Remote Stylist and items gets delivered to your door at rapid fire speed.
Try it Because …
- Shopping for furnishings usually requires going to several stores and trying to coordinate different pieces not to mention the logistics and cost of how you will get them home—a significant time investment.
- You get to choose your delivery time (builds, moves and renovations always take longer than planned!)
- The product variety crosses all styles and price points – literally. From $10 candles to $30,000 tables Remote Stylist has access to the largest furnishings lineup on the market.
- Who doesn’t love the idea of a free professional opinion, not to mention someone you can communicate with at any time and from anywhere! No appointments necessary.
- If you are the type who likes to see and feel Remote Stylist will send swatches of fabric and stains from the manufacturer when available.
Furnishing a space means business, and the days of recreational shopping do not apply. From one item to an entire room, save yourself time, money and an incredible amount of nuisance – even for just a rug!
Returning to our client example. The Stylist went to our internal product database and started shortlisting options. Recall, we sell over 350 brands totaling 1M+ products (granted they all don’t sell rugs, nor indoor/outdoor ones). In searching just one brand here are the options returned to the Stylist for that search:
Overwhelmed yet? We’re not going to throw in the red/white from the other brands we sell for this example but presume there were 10 times the options. The Stylist then starts shortlisting options, in this case red was likely first, then the 8 x 10 size her client wanted and further by price point. From that she then picked 10 great white/red options (would you really want to see more than 10?!)
Catalina was quickly selected by the client as the winner so the Stylist sent through all the details and as many images as she could find.
In the end, it was the perfect pop of color for his outdoor space with it’s rich inspiration from moroccan trellis and tile patterns so they ordered up and it’s now en route.
