Take it outside

An outdoor rug can transform a space, making it feel like a room. The Woodnotes outdoor carpet has a soft feel underfoot but is designed to withstand some tough alfresco conditions. The carpet is resistant to abrasion, has high colourfastness for all that extra sunlight and is resistant to sea and swimming pool water. Made from polypropylene fibre, it warms like wool and best of all is washable and recyclable. $2185 for a 170 x 260cm rug from Trenzseater, trenzseater.com.
