Selecting the Best 8x11 Outdoor Rug

To find the best 8x11 outdoor rug for your space, you need to know what color, style, and durability are necessary for your area. And though it’s nice to have hundreds of options, it’s equally helpful to use the search filters to narrow your selection a bit.

Below, we’ve highlighted some of our top tips to help you pick the right 8x11 outdoor area rug for your space.

Color and Style

The most significant factors that impact how your new 8x11 indoor outdoor rug makes your space look will be color and style. Look at the color palette and style of your home or the specific area that you're decorating for guidance. You'll want to pick a rug that uses colors and styles that are already in your space, if possible.

If you don’t want a rug that uses colors that are already in the zone you’re decorating, you still want to pick colors that will fit in. For example, if your patio is decorated in brown, tan, and teal, colors like green, blue, white, black, and even pink would complement the existing palette. 

Material and Durability

All outdoor rugs are not the same. Some will have better resistance to UV light, soil, moisture, mold, mildew, and shoe traffic. Read about how the rug is treated and what the care instructions are to determine if it’s durable enough for the area that you’re decorating.

Also, look for information on cleaning requirements. You can clean most outdoor rugs with a hose or spot cleaning.

Size Check

Make sure 8x11 is a good fit for the area you’re decorating. You can do this by outlining an 8x11 rectangle in masking tape wherever you plan to install the rug. This method allows you to see how the rug size will fit in your space and adjust it as needed. Better yet, give our room visualizer a try by adding a photo of your own to see how the rug will look in your space. 

Buy a Rug Pad

Rug pads can add years to the life of your rug, and they’re not just for indoor purposes. Outdoor rug pads are resistant to the elements and will keep your outdoor rug in place. We recommend adding a pad to your cart before you buy your new 8x11 outdoor rug to ensure that it’s protected from day one.
