Softening Your Outdoor Space

-

As with any indoor space, no outdoor space can provide that cosy feeling of home unless you take the time to add a few decorative touches. Outdoor rugs are the perfect, minimal-effort additions to soften up your outdoor space and make it your own tranquil retreat.

The trick is to find a quality outdoor rug that can not only withstand the elements, but can liven up a space too. Gone are the days of dreary pieces of burlap carpet with the clichéd “Welcome” scribbled across. Nowadays, modern shoppers can find the same variety of designs in outdoor rugs as can be found when searching for an indoor rug.

Mobelli Furniture + Living’s outdoor rugs not only offer a range of eye-catching designs, but they are also durable – the outdoor rugs are resistant to UV rays, mould, and mildew. Easy to clean and maintain, these stylish, high-quality rugs can stay outside year-round without losing their lustre.

The next obstacle in the hunt for the perfect outdoor floor accessory is to decide which rug to choose.

Patchwork rugs give a space a of warm, old-school hospitalit­y. feeling Mobelli Furniture + Living’s range of contempora­ry patchwork rugs are available in three variations – blue/brown, grey/beige, and black/cream – and their unique blend of texture and colour helps bring a stylish, comfortabl­e atmosphere to the outdoor area of a home.

Mobelli Furniture + Living’s range of kelims are for those who wish to add exotic flavour to their outdoor area. Not only do the intricate designs of ethnic patterns bring a sense of history into a room, but they are also great as conversati­on starters. If ever the conversati­on runs dry, you can tell your guests that you travelled to a remote Aztec village, where you experience­d all sorts of exciting adventures, just so that you could bring this rug back with you. Or, if you prefer, you could just tell them that it came from Mobelli Furniture + Living – both stories are equally impressive.

If, however, you would prefer the Rollsroyce of outdoor rugs, then Mobelli Furniture + Living’s classic range of rugs is the way to go. The honeycomb and diamond designs will provide your space with a sophistica­ted look that will impress your guests for years to come. These rugs are durable and stain-resistant, designed to withstand the test of time.

Outdoor rugs are not just about adding a decorative touch to your space. In an area where there are no walls to define separate areas, outdoor rugs work well to divide a space into sections. Not to mention the fact that outdoor rugs are also much warmer and softer underfoot than other outdoor flooring options.

As beautiful as the outdoors can be, they can also be fairly uncomforta­ble. Outdoor rugs add that little bit of warmth and personalit­y that assist in making an outdoor area a comfortabl­e living space.

Mobelli Furniture + Living is the perfect place to find the ideal outdoor rug for your home’s outdoor space. Go on, find yours today.
