With such a wide range of sizes, styles, patterns, and colors outdoor rugs are not just confined to patios or porches anymore. One can easily accentuate their household decor by utilizing the rugged, mold and moisture resistant outdoor rugs the same way as old, ugly indoor/outdoor carpet has traditionally been used for.

A major problem in most home basements is the destructive nature of accumulated moisture on any carpet you may lay down in the area. For those who wanted more than the “concrete floor” look to their basement rooms, tile or linoleum rugs were the standard options. These materials, however, leave a cold, harsh feel to the basement room. You can use anything from floor mat spot rugs to wall-to-wall outdoor rugs on a basement floor and avoid the cold and the mold while making a more fashionable statement in home decor.
Another favorite indoor space that can be improved with the use of a stylish outdoor rug is the bathroom. Excessive moisture and standing water can be disastrous on regular indoor carpet and indoor/outdoor carpet can be too harsh in texture for bare feet. By weaving synthetic 100% stabilized polypropylene fibers, outdoor rugs can be found that are as soft and plush as the thickest of indoor plush carpets. The rubber backing liner and mold resistance of the material in the outdoor rug can give a durable long-lasting boost to your intimate bathing space.
Carpet, even stain-resistant carpet, is not the best floor covering choice in kitchens, especially in food preparation areas. Many kitchen designs incorporate a tile-covered area space with the rest of the room covered with a full-sized wall-to-wall outdoor rug. The material used in construction of outdoor rugs is also very stain resistant and is easier to clean even if spills do get on the outdoor rug where they might never be removable from an indoor carpet.
