Anemone Jacquard Floral Rug - Teal/Mineral

This is an outdoor rug woven in polypropylene, printed with a Jacobean-style floral running across a soft mineral-blue ground in a deeper teal-green. The pattern is a jacquard weave rather than a print, so the flowers, trailing stems and the plain rectangular border are worked into the structure of the mat itself. It measures 120 x 180cm, a size that reads as a generous accent underfoot rather than a full room rug. The two tones sit close together in weight, which is why the floral looks painterly rather than sharp-edged from across a patio.

It is made for outside. Polypropylene does not absorb water, so this rug shrugs off rain, dew and a spilled drink without swelling or staining the way a natural fibre would, which is what makes it sensible on a terrace, a decking area, a balcony or a covered porch. It sits happily under a garden table and chairs, or alongside a bench where you take your morning coffee. Because it is flat-woven and low in pile it will not trap grit, and it sweeps clean. The mineral and teal palette works with timber decking, pale stone and green planting.

The construction is reversible, so the pattern carries through to the underside and the rug can be flipped when one face has seen more sun or footfall. Polypropylene is a hardwearing fibre that resists fading outdoors, and being flat and lightweight the rug rolls up easily to store over winter or to shake out. When the surface needs freshening, it hoses down and wipes clean, then dries quickly in the open air because the fibre holds no moisture. Lay it out on the first warm day and it will hold its colour through the season.

Can this rug stay outside in the rain?

Yes. It is made from polypropylene, which does not absorb water, so rain and dew run off rather than soaking in and it is designed for outdoor use.

How do I clean an outdoor polypropylene rug?

Because the fibre holds no moisture, you can hose it down and wipe it over, then leave it to air dry. Grit sweeps or shakes off the flat weave easily.

Is the pattern the same on both sides?

Yes. The rug is reversible, so the floral design carries through to the underside and you can flip it over when one face has taken more sun or wear.

What size is this rug and where does it suit?

It measures 120 x 180cm, which works well as an accent under a garden table, beside a bench, or on a balcony or covered porch rather than as a large room rug.

Will the colours fade outdoors?

Polypropylene is a hardwearing fibre chosen for outdoor rugs precisely because it stands up to the elements and resists fading better than a natural fibre would.
