Okay, here is my sharing about indoor outdoor runner rugs:
So, I started this whole thing because I wanted to spruce up my hallway and patio. They were looking a little bare, and I figured some nice runner rugs would do the trick. Plus, I have a dog, and those little paws can track in a lot of dirt. I needed something durable, you know?
First, I hit up Lowe’s. I remembered seeing a bunch of rugs there before. And yeah, they had a decent selection of indoor-outdoor ones. I browsed around, checked out different materials and patterns. They had some pretty basic solid-color ones, which were tempting because they’d probably go with anything.
- I saw some with a rubber backing, which I thought would be good for preventing slips, especially since my hallway floor can get a bit slick.
- Some were made of polypropylene, and the label said they were stain and UV resistant. That sounded perfect for the patio since it gets a lot of sun.
- I even found one with a simple Southwestern pattern that I really liked. It was neutral but still had some character.
After Lowe’s, I decided to check out Target. You never know what you might find there, right? And sure enough, they had some stylish runner rugs too. I was looking for something a bit more modern for my entryway, and they had a few that caught my eye. Some were 2′ x 6′, which is a pretty standard size for a runner.
Then I also did some online browsing. I checked out AllModern because I like their contemporary style. They had a lot of options, and I appreciated that they offered free shipping on most stuff. That’s always a plus!
But you know what? I even found some good options on Amazon. There was this one brand, Ottomanson, that had these solid-design, non-slip rubber-backed runners. They were 3×10, which was a good size for my hallway. And they were advertised as being good for kitchens, living rooms, garages, and patios. Pretty versatile!
Another brand I found on Amazon was Gertmenian. They had these flatweave area rugs that were also stain and UV-resistant. I liked that they had a simple border design. And they had a 2×6 runner size in black and tan, which would have matched my patio furniture.
And another find on Amazon, I discovered stripe gray runner rugs with rubber backing, it said it can be used as aisle for the RV and boat. I thought it would be useful in the future.
In the end, I ended up buying a few different ones. I got a more neutral, durable one for the hallway, a stylish one for the entryway, and a UV-resistant one for the patio. I figured I might as well get them all at once while I was at it. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out. The rugs really added some warmth and style to my spaces, and they’re practical too!
My Suggestions
If you’re thinking about getting some indoor-outdoor runner rugs, I definitely recommend doing some research and comparing different options. Think about where you’ll be using them, what kind of style you’re going for, and what features are important to you (like stain resistance, non-slip backing, etc.). And don’t be afraid to shop around! You might be surprised at what you find.
