2x3 Outdoor Rugs

How a 2x3 Outdoor Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A 2x3 outdoor rug can highlight your room’s decor by complimenting your existing color scheme, expanding on the room’s overarching style, and connecting to your other decor. When tying it all together, focus on not only using a rug with coordinating colors, but also look at the rug’s pattern/design and see what elements of the rug’s design can connect to your artwork. Designing with the entire space in mind helps create a unified area and inadvertently highlights each part that makes it feel whole. 

Decorating With a 2x3 Outdoor Rug

When you decorate with a 2x3 outdoor rug, you’re not limited to one particular style. 2x3 outdoor area rugs come in many different patterns, designs, and color schemes. Plus, the height of the rug and material also impact its overall appearance and tone, so as you sort through all the options for 2x3 outdoor rugs, rest assured that there’s a rug out there that’s perfect for your personal needs.

Choosing Which 2x3 Outdoor Rug is Right for You

Layout: Before you even begin shopping, you should decide on where you want to place your 2x3 outdoor rug. You may be thinking of only placing your rug outside, but the truth is that 2x3 outdoor area rugs are stylish, durable, and soft enough that they can work well indoors as well! So, here are some ideas (indoors and out) for your rug’s layout.

Entryway: 2x3 rugs are perfect for entryways, since they can serve as a doormat when placed right inside the door. Stylistically, the rug can also be the first thing your guest sees and introduce your personal style. 

Kitchen: You can place a 2x3 outdoor rug in front of your sink, stove, or by a doorway if you have a door between your kitchen and outdoors area.

Bathroom: Since bathrooms see a lot of traffic, it makes sense to use a 2x3 outdoor rug here. Common placements include in front of a sink/sinks, by a bathtub, or in front of a shower. 

Porch/Deck: 2x3 outdoor area rugs are often placed right by a door to serve as a doormat and comfortable stepping stone. 

Shape: You may automatically think of rectangular 2x3 outdoor rugs, but oval is another common choice that works well to soften up your decor with its rounded corners and overall appearance. 

Pattern: Some 2x3 outdoor rugs are vintage in their appearance with tile-like patterns and distressed imagery, but there are other popular designs out there like persian and oriental patterns, black and white striped rugs, and even abstract contemporary coloring. Find a pattern that has similar tone and lines/shapes to your existing decor to tie it all together and create an intentional display.

Color: The pattern of your rug is only one of several factors that define the rug’s style. The rug’s color palette is another key defining area. You’ll find that common colors include black, grey, white, and beige for the neutral tones. If you want to go bolder, look for 2x3 outdoor area rugs that use blue, navy, red, yellow, green, or other bold colors. The way that these colors are used within the pattern and their overall tone vary from rug to rug, so find a combination of color and pattern that works for you.

Shop for sizes similar to 2x3 outdoor rugs such as 24x36, 24x48, 24x60, 2x2, and 2x4.
