Deck Stripe Printed Polyester Rug - Orange/Pink

The Deck Stripe rug is a flatweave in 100% polyester, printed in a bold two-tone stripe of orange and pink that shifts direction across the piece. In the photograph the upper section runs as broad vertical bands and the lower section as narrower horizontal ones, so the pattern reads differently depending on how you turn it. It measures 120 x 170cm, a size that suits a seating area, the foot of a bed or a spot by the door. The reverse is a plain cream ribbed weave, so a fold-back never spoils the look.

This one is built for both indoor and outdoor use, which is the decision that sets it apart from an ordinary floor rug. Put it on a patio, a balcony or a decked terrace and it earns its name, but it works just as happily in a hallway or living room where a hard-wearing washable surface matters. The colour is loud and cheerful rather than quiet, so it pairs best with plain furniture and simple timber that lets the stripe do the talking. Being lightweight it lifts and folds easily, which makes it simple to move between the garden and the house or to roll away when you need the space back.

Polyester is the reason for the practicality here. It resists water and holds colour well against sunlight, and the supplier confirms this rug is water resistant, UV resistant and machine washable, so a spilled drink or a rain shower is no drama. The flatweave construction sits low and stable underfoot with no deep pile to trap dirt, so it shakes out and washes clean. Style it against dark wood decking as shown, or ground it against pale flooring indoors where the orange and pink can carry the whole scheme.

Can this rug be used outdoors as well as inside?

Yes, it is made for both. The supplier confirms it is water resistant and UV resistant, so it copes with rain and sunlight on a patio, balcony or decked area, and it works equally well indoors.

How do I clean it?

It is machine washable, so you can wash it when it needs freshening up. The flatweave has no deep pile to trap dirt, so it also shakes out and brushes clean easily between washes.

What is it made from?

It is 100% polyester, which is why it resists water and holds its colour against sunlight. Polyester also dries quickly and is hard-wearing, which suits a rug that moves between garden and house.

What size is it?

It measures 120 x 170cm, a versatile size that sits well in a seating area, at the foot of a bed, or in a hallway where a colourful runner-style anchor is wanted.

Is the pattern the same on both sides?

No, the orange and pink stripe is printed on the face. The reverse is a plain cream ribbed weave, which stays tidy if a corner folds back or lifts.
