Get inspired for a summer rug!
In the morning, wiggling your toes in freshly mown grass at the campsite or walking barefoot over the soft grains of sand on the beach. Stretching your legs a bit makes that ultimate summer feeling complete. Fortunately, you don't have to mow the lawn every day to experience these sensations at home. Simply giving your feet a holiday by placing them on a summer rug creates a similar mood. But which rugs work best for this? Let this blog inspire you!
Outdoor rug
A bit of an obvious choice, but outdoor rugs are of course the ultimate summer accessory when it comes to rugs. They make the terrace extra cosy, are welcome guests at barbecues, give any balcony an upgrade and work perfectly at the edge of a pool or garden jacuzzi. In short: outdoor rugs add a surprising twist to various outdoor settings. Of course, we're aware that the Dutch climate can also throw surprises at you. That's why these rugs are exceptionally resistant to a (gust of) wind or a local downpour. Let's take it outside! Shop outdoor rugs
Coloured rugs
Are you someone whose mood is influenced by the weather forecast? Then you can be sure that the Moods rugs will also influence your mood! The cheerful patterns provide an extra endorphin boost and the colour palette used puts a smile on everyone's face! So are you sitting at home with a sweating partner who sighs that it's far too hot and only sits in front of the fan? Roll a summery Moods rug inside and watch the sweat drops slowly disappear like snow in the sun. Because the rug has no pile, but a smooth surface, this rug will feel much cooler than, for example, a high-pile rug.
Estate rugs
Besides your feet, also refresh your state of mind? During summer, the sunny Estate rugs provide the perfect setting for that! The roses on the rose kilims are in full bloom, the light blue rugs look like a reflection of the sky and with the sand-coloured Desert rugs you don't have to worry about sand grains lingering through your house for weeks. Cheerful vintage rugs, paradisiacal patchwork rugs or simply stately, colourful specimens; with Estate rugs you're assured of being in a good state during this summer.
Jute rug
What?!?! Jute? That belongs to December, doesn't it? The period when Saint Nick moors again with his boat full of jute sacks from his summer homeland. Here's the thing! In Spain, the sun shines for so many (…) days a year, so those Spaniards must know: jute is excellent for summer rugs. The natural character provides that nice outdoor vibe, the warm colours of the jute glisten even more in the blazing daylight and the round versions have nice similarities with that big golden ball in the sky.

Cotton rug
Sometimes in oppressive heat you could use some airiness. Well, cotton rugs breathe airiness. Due to the unique way cotton fibres are knotted, a flat knot is created that is compact but also lets air through. This keeps cotton rugs pleasantly thin, making them easy to roll in and out, not very prominently present and sitting nicely loose in their place. You wouldn't expect it, but especially the graphic prints on cotton rugs from Scandinavia have a summery look & feel. Not just frivolous cotton clothing belongs in high temperatures, cotton rugs also anticipate the summer climate well. Shop cotton rugs
Hemp rugs
Summer is the perfect time to bring a bit of the outdoors indoors. And if you ask us, hemp rugs are the perfect option for this. The fibres of this material are made from the hemp plant and are therefore 100% natural. The advantage is that in dry times, hemp has the ability to pluck any remaining moisture particles from the air and distribute them evenly in the air. This makes the indoors less oppressive and more bearable during a heatwave. In addition to this green image, hemp also has a rough side. The fibres are robust, strong and a little mysterious. Hemp = hot! Hemp rugs are definitely a summer surprise. Shop hemp rugs
Sisal rugs
Everyone who's ever been to Sicily knows that the inhabitants are tough people. Not scorched away by the heat, not intimidated by the local government. The skins of the people show grooves from exposure to intense heat, but otherwise mainly appear solid and seem indestructible. Would it be a coincidence that sisal rugs share the same characteristics? Put a sisal rug in your house, put a pan of fresh spaghetti on the table and the new holiday resort Sisalland is founded! Shop sisal rugs So are you not blessed with a holiday villa on the Côte d'Azur or a château in Provence? No worries! With a summery rug, you'll bring the summer sun into your own home, right at good old Dutch Riviera. Boom-chica-wau-wa!
