Shoppers are ditching expensive tiling and polishing for a £16.99 outdoor rug that they say completely transforms patios, balconies, and decking from boring to beautiful. The reversible rug, stocked at Amazon, features a contemporary geometric pattern in black and grey, measuring 120 x 180cm. It feels soft underfoot and has a UV coating to protect against high temperatures, fading, and sun damage.
Waterproof and Easy to Clean
The rug is waterproof, so it doesn't need to be taken indoors during bad weather, and spillages from food or drinks can be easily wiped clean. Shoppers can also purchase a black and brown version in the same size for £20.22.
One customer described the rug as a money-saving alternative to tiling or polishing their outdoor space. They wrote: "Absolutely thrilled with this outdoor carpet. Folds away into its own little bag and is very light. I didn’t know what to do with the concrete seating area after I removed a gigantic garage: every option was very expensive (tiling or polishing) or would need maintenance (painting), but then I saw these. It looks amazing, and I’m so pleased with it."
Durable and Long-Lasting
Another reviewer confirmed the rug's durability: "Very good rug. I’ve had it for months now, and the thickness has stayed the same. It stays flat and hasn’t curved with age like the previous one I bought. Given how long-lasting it’s been, I would say it’s good value for money." A third added: "This is the perfect size. The quality is amazing, and it’s definitely good value for money. It’s easy to clean and maintain, and lots of people have complimented me on it. Plus, it’s waterproof."
Parent and Gardener Approved
Parents have praised the rug for outdoor play: "Perfect for my kids to play on comfortably. The size makes it great for outdoor spaces. The pattern is beautiful and modern, and it really adds a nice touch to our outdoor setup. It’s also easy to clean and seems durable." A keen gardener noted: "I love it. Adds so much life to my patio area. Looks beautiful with my potted flowers around it."
Alternatives Available
For those seeking other options, Dunelm offers the Fallen Fruits Leaves Outdoor Rug for £31.20, down from £39, featuring a leaf print. Dusk sells the Hanna Flatweave Geo Contrast Outdoor Rug for £45, a neutral option with a soft finish. However, at £16.99, the Amazon rug remains the most affordable choice.
While most reviews are positive, one customer expressed disappointment: "I really love the design and colour, but just not what I’d hoped they would be. Foldable and should be good for outdoors, but not for me as I wanted something a bit more robust and heavier."
