Lemons Striped Polyester Rug - Blue

This is a printed indoor and outdoor rug in 100% polyester, measuring 120 x 170cm. A scatter of yellow lemons on leafy green branches sits across a pale blue ground, framed on all four sides by a border of blue and cream blocks that reads as a broken stripe. It is a single-piece rug with a flat, closely ribbed weave, and the fruit-and-stripe design is the whole point of it: a bright, Mediterranean-leaning print for a spot that wants a bit of cheer.

At 120 x 170cm it suits a patio seating area, a balcony, a terrace, or a run of floor just inside a garden door, and it works equally well indoors in a kitchen or a hallway where a splash of colour earns its place. The polyester construction is lightweight, so you can pick it up and reposition it easily, roll it away when you need the space, or move it undercover when the weather turns. Because it is printed rather than woven in pattern, the lemons and leaves read clearly from above, which is how a floor rug is actually seen.

Polyester is a hard-wearing, quick-drying fibre that shrugs off damp and does not soak up spills the way a natural pile would, which is what makes it a sensible choice underfoot outdoors. The supplier states the fabric is machine washable, so a full clean is straightforward when the season leaves its mark. The flat ribbed weave means there is no deep pile to trap grit, and it folds down for storage rather than needing to be rolled. If you like the print, it carries the summery, fresh-fruit feel through to the blue and cream bordered edge, which pulls the whole piece together.

Can this rug be used outdoors?

Yes, it is made for both indoor and outdoor use. The polyester fabric handles damp well and dries quickly, so a patio, balcony or terrace all suit it.

How do I clean it?

The supplier states the fabric is machine washable, so you can give it a full wash when it needs one. The flat weave has no deep pile to hold onto dirt.

What size is it?

It measures 120 x 170cm, which suits a seating area, a run of floor by a door, or a kitchen or hallway indoors where you want a bright accent.

Is it heavy to move around?

No, the polyester construction is lightweight and the rug folds down, so you can reposition it, store it or move it undercover without much effort.

What does the design look like?

Yellow lemons on green leafy branches are printed across a pale blue ground, with a border of blue and cream blocks running around all four edges.

Will the pattern feel bumpy underfoot?

The weave is flat and closely ribbed rather than a raised pile, so the surface stays low and even across the whole rug.
