Whether you have a big patio or a lawn, or even if you're just looking for something to stick outside your tent or campervan while you're on the go, a proper outdoor rug can make a huge difference. It can change an outdoor space from something a little barren to be way more welcoming and warm, although you'll want to pick one that's weather-resistant. 

That's part of what makes the Outdoor Rug from The Rugs on Amazon so useful - it's a handy and affordable bit of kit that is way more hardy than it looks and right now it's on a great deal, with a 15% off voucher taking it down to just £29.66 for a 120x170cm version. This applies to the stylish black and white pattern, but there are a host of other colour options at similar prices for those who want to mix up the pattern. The black and white pattern is really versatile though, and will really complement any other colour scheme or theme you have outdoor. 

The secret here is that the Outdoor Rug is made entirely from polypropylene, so it's way easier to clean and clear up than a traditional carpet or rug would be. This means you can simply roll it up for storage, and it also doesn't weigh a ton. If you need to clean it you can shake it, spot clean it or vacuum or hose it off as needed. The easy clean factor is something you shouldn't take for granted, because it means you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor space than worrying about cleaning a rug. 

If you're wondering how people have actually found the rug to use, though, you're in luck - the Outdoor Rug has some 600+ ratings from customers on Amazon, averaging out to 4.3 stars. Some of those reviews are well worth checking out too, especially as people share where they've used the rug which may spark ideas for you. One customer wrote: "Looks good in the kitchen, very easy to keep clean. Good price too".

Another gushed: "Love this outdoor rug, it has totally brightened up my patio turning it into an outdoor lounge! Totally recommend it." A third person used it slightly differently with similarly glowing results: "Smartens up the outdoor living space and gives an attractive area to sit on outside our motorhome. Feels quite robust and hard-wearing."

Another user pointed out that it took a couple of days to dry out after getting very wet outside, so that's worth remembering if you intend to leave it outside for long periods without storage. Another user complained that it was too thin for their wooden floorboards in their living room. That's potentially to be expected, too, compared to a traditional rug which may be thicker.

Most people seem to love their rug, although you could shop for alternatives if desired. Dunelm, for example, has this Wildflower Bee Washable Indoor Outdoor Rug reduced to £20 for the same size, which is an interesting option with a jazzier design. Equally, Ikea has the Vrensted in/outdoor rug for £30, so if you're planning an outdoor shop it could be one to add to the cart.
