White & Black Outdoor / Indoor Area Rugs

Why A Black And White Outdoor Rug?

There's something special about a black and white outdoor rug. These beauties add definition and elegance to your space, and you can use them anywhere!

If you're looking for the perfect black and white outdoor rug, you're onto something good. The color contrast is excellent for setting an interesting background for your space, but it won't clash with your existing d?cor.

One of the best parts about adding one of these pieces to your home is that you can use them inside and outside. A black and white indoor outdoor rug is perfect for indoor spaces that see a lot of traffic, moisture, and soil. The kitchen or entryway, for example, might be an ideal candidate for an indoor/outdoor rug.

Check out the ideas below to get some inspiration for your decorating project:

• A black and white striped outdoor rug can make a small patio or balcony feel larger. Stripes naturally make a space feel bigger in whichever direction the lines run. This simple hack can have a considerable impact on your d?cor.
• You could place a black and white plaid outdoor rug in your home's entryway, kitchen, or living room. Look for an indoor/outdoor variety and pay attention to material to be sure your rug will be soft underfoot while being durable.
• You might place a black and white 5x7 outdoor rug under a small deck table to define your sitting area. The rug would go well with a colorful patio table set or a neutral setup with colorful accents.

A Closer Look At The Black And White Outdoor Rug

Around the world, you'll find white in almost every d?cor setting. This pure neutral color is an interior staple that helps define and shape rooms. Many interior decorators also feel that no place is complete without a touch of black. What better way to add both elements at once than with a black and white indoor outdoor rug?

If you're considering adding a black and white indoor outdoor rug to your interior d?cor, research the material your choice is made from. Look for one that's softer underfoot with straightforward cleaning instructions. Most indoor/outdoor rugs can be washed with a hose.
