Outdoor Rug Options

[ellipses84]

If you asked me what rug to choose I could tell you the best one instantly, but when it comes to my own decor I’m indecisive! All are from Target and some are on sale this week.

We live in an MCM stucco ranch and my style is fairly modern and eclectic. I love a good MCM, Art Deco, geometric or abstract pattern. The house and everything on our gray concrete patio is neutral. Beige outdoor sofa cushions, black furniture, white umbrella, greige weathered fence, etc. We have two lounge chairs with bright blue seat cushions but those could easily be replaced. I may replace the sofa cushions with color eventually. I’m not too concerned with hiding dirt since everything can be hosed off. What rug do you like best? Any other suggestions. In no particular order:

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

I like 1 and 6 - but i'm a fan of color in rugs if things around them are more neutral.

I like #1 best. And that fringe on #2 seems problematic for me -- I'm not sure how dirt/leaves wouldn't get tangled up in there. I would definitely go fringeless.

#3. I like the variety of colors and sounds like the space needs color.

I like #2 but I hate fringe on any rugs.

The only one I dislike is 3. The first one is probably my favorite, with 4 and 5 close behind.

I love #2 & #5.

6, 1 and 5, in that order of preference for me.

I like #6 the best! I really like #2, but the fringe would be a huge PITA.

[libbygrl109]

I like 1 and 6 best.

[TR]

1 is far and away my favorite.

[TBM]

2, then 6

I like that they have bolder pattern.

I like 2 and 4 and four the most. 1 and 6 aren’t really my taste, so there’s would be at the bottom of my list.

Update: Thanks for the input. I was leaning towards 3 or 1. I loved 4 but agree the space needs more color and 2 is my style but I had to nix it due to the fringe. I asked DH’s opinion on 3 and 1 and he doesn’t understand why we need an outdoor rug at all and didn’t like either but also doesn’t really care what I do with our home decor. @ My 5 year old DS and he liked 1 best.

In the end, I decided maybe I didn’t love any of them enough and the sale ended. Looking at them again I found this one and bought it. It was an odd size and the length was *just* enough so I didn’t have to upsize for twice the price. Our outdoor sofa is the same colors as the chair in the photo.
