Tan and Beige Outdoor Rugs

How a Tan and Beige Outdoor Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A tan and beige outdoor rug can highlight your other decor by complementing the color palette, conveying the style, and fitting the tone of the space. A rug can be a connective piece that ties all the decor together, so when you’re looking to decorate with a tan and beige rug, don’t view it as unimportant; it can truly serve as a key piece of the puzzle and make your space feel professionally designed. 

Decorating With a Tan and Beige Outdoor Rug

The beautiful thing about tan and beige outdoor rugs is that they work great in both outdoor and indoor spaces. These rugs are manufactured and constructed to be stain resistant, fade resistant, and very durable, so many people choose to use them in high-traffic areas inside the home like living rooms, kitchens, and entryways. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box with how you decorate with an outdoor rug, whether that be indoors or out!

Choosing Which Tan and Beige Outdoor Rug is Right for You

As you shop for your perfect tan and beige outdoor area rug, think about these key qualifiers. 

Position: Early on, you should decide on your furniture layout and how the rug will fit into that. While there are many options for how to use an outdoor rug inside, let’s focus on outdoor spaces. 

2x3’s: A 2x3 rug can be a simple addition outside of your door to bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Social Spaces: There are many ways to arrange outdoor seating areas, but in general, you’ll likely center your tan and beige outdoor rug in the middle of that area. You can have the rug rest entirely in front of the seats, under the front two legs, or even further under them if the space is large enough. 

Dining Area: When you’re setting up your outdoor dining area, you’ll likely center your tan and beige outdoor area rug right beneath the table. The size of your rug should leave about two-three feet of extra fabric on each side so the chairs can be pushed in or pulled out comfortably.

Material: Outdoor rugs aren’t limited to tough, astroturf materials. There’s a wide variety of materials out there for outdoor rugs such as polyester, vinyl, plastic, or other synthetic materials. Each has their own pros and cons of comfort, height, and style, so look at each material to make sure that it meets your personal needs. 

Pattern: Since tan and beige are considered to be neutral colors, they work in many different interior design styles. That means that you have your pick of patterns and designs for beige and tan rugs. Some will simply feature texture as the main design element, while others will use stripes, oriental patterns, or geometric shapes. Of course there are plenty of designs outside of those, so look for the pattern that best connects to your existing decor and furniture or study examples of your favorite style and find a pattern that fits that mold. 

Color: You can choose whether tan and beige are the only two colors in the rug or if you want to include other colors in the palette. Other neutral tones like grey, white, and black commonly appear in beige and tan rugs, but you can find just about any color with tan and beige because of how flexible they are. Focus on finding a color palette that not only matches your other decor, but also make sure that it conveys the same tone and style so that your space feels cohesive.
