Description
This is a printed indoor and outdoor rug measuring 120 x 170cm, sized to sit at a kitchen sink, run along a hallway, or lie across a patio or balcony. The design is a hand-painted lemon motif scattered over a soft sage and cream gingham check, with clusters of yellow fruit and green foliage repeating across the ground. It is made from 100% polyester, a synthetic fibre chosen here for its water resistance and its ability to shrug off damp and regular use without losing colour.
Because it works equally well inside and out, it suits a kitchen, a conservatory, a porch or a covered terrace, anywhere a bit of colour and a wipe-friendly surface both matter. The lemon-and-gingham pattern leans towards a fresh, country-kitchen look and sits happily alongside painted wood, wicker baskets and plain linen. It is a light, flat rug rather than a thick pile one, so it slides under a door and lies flat against a doormat or a run of decking. It also rolls up easily, which makes it practical to carry out to a picnic, a beach day or a camping trip and bring home again.
The construction is woven and flat, and polyester dries quickly once it has been out in the rain or given a rinse. When it needs freshening up you can machine wash it, then let it dry naturally, which is the real advantage of a synthetic rug over a natural-fibre one that would take far longer to dry and could not go outdoors. To style it, keep the surroundings simple and let the lemons do the talking: bare wood, cream ceramics and a few sprigs of greenery echo the print without competing with it.

Frequently Asked
Can this rug really be used outdoors?
Yes. It is made from water-resistant polyester and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, so it copes with damp patios, balconies and covered terraces.
How do I clean it?
You can machine wash it and then let it dry naturally. Polyester dries quickly, so it is ready to use again far sooner than a natural-fibre rug would be.
What size is it?
It measures 120 x 170cm, a practical size for a kitchen floor, a hallway run, or a seating area on a patio or in a conservatory.
Is it a thick, cushioned rug or a flat one?
It is a flat, woven rug rather than a deep pile. That keeps it light, easy to roll up, and simple to slide under a door or beside a mat.
Can I take it on a picnic or camping?
Yes. It rolls up easily and is light to carry, so it travels well for picnics, beach days and camping trips, then washes clean when you get home.
