Balcony rugs: Suitable rugs for the balcony
Outdoor rugs are completely on-trend according to the latest interior design trends. Often, the focus is on outdoor rugs for gardens or terraces. But what about if you have a balcony? You'll find inspiration for a balcony rug in this blog!
Balcony rugs
When it comes to balcony rugs, you actually have just as much choice as with outdoor rugs. The only thing you need to consider extra is the size. Fortunately, a balcony rug is available in many different sizes, from 80x150cm for a Juliet balcony to 200x290cm for a large balcony or roof terrace. For every balcony and every taste, there's a suitable rug size to be found for your balcony!
Balcony rug in different styles
Which balcony rug you choose of course depends on many factors, such as the size as discussed above, but also on your taste or style. Do you love modern, Oriental or are you a fan of Scandinavian interior style? A modern outdoor rug can come in different patterns such as stripes, zigzag or plain. Looking for Oriental balcony rugs? These often feature an authentic Oriental pattern, such as Berber rugs in sober colours such as brown and grey. Fan of Scandinavian? You'll find many outdoor rugs in our webshop with the familiar graphic prints, checks and Aztec patterns with fresh, light colours. There's something for every taste and every interior style!
Outdoor rug: round or rectangular?
Once you know what style outdoor rug you're looking for, the next question is: what shape? Round balcony rugs are completely on-trend right now, but rectangular rugs always work! Do you have a larger balcony and are you looking for an outdoor rug to place under your rectangular outdoor table? Then it's best to go for a rectangular rug that's larger than the table itself. A rectangular outdoor rug also looks great under a large corner lounge set! Do you have a smaller balcony with a nice round seating area? Then round balcony rugs are definitely for you!
Chosen a size? Great! But what style outdoor rug are you looking for? Vintage, Oriental, Scandinavian or even modern? Wondering which style best suits you? Keep reading below.
Material of an outdoor rug
An outdoor rug? Surely that's not possible? Actually, it is! A rug can definitely go outside, as long as it's made from flat-woven synthetic material. You're best off choosing a polypropylene outdoor rug for your balcony. This material is wonderfully soft underfoot, yet very easy to clean with a damp cloth. This means you can use your rug year-round, which is ideal! On Instagram you often see rugs made from natural materials, such as jute, being used outdoors. This looks beautiful, but unfortunately your balcony rug won't last long and will soon look shabby. So pay close attention to this when looking for balcony rugs.
