Give Your Patio An Elevated Makeover With Costco's Outdoor Rugs

If every room makeover were as easy as unfurling a rug, we'd do it a lot more often. It's even more tempting — and accessible — when a rug is too budget-friendly to turn down. Thinking of our patios, decks, porches, or balconies as outdoor living rooms is an easy way to carve a bit more square footage out of your spaces. Adding a rug to these areas might not be the first upgrade that comes to mind. However, indoor-outdoor rugs are ideal for these places. In fact, the simple addition of a rug can revamp your patio space in just a few minutes.

Costco's collection of Ravenna rugs are an affordable and low-effort way to add polish to your al fresco hangout. In six patterns, four sizes, and a handful of colors, there's probably at least one style you'll want to transform your patio sitting area from functional to fantastic. Prices for Ravenna rugs run from $100 to $250, and they're popular enough to sell out many sizes and patterns in a snap. If you have an eye on a Ravenna that's out of stock, or maybe your tastes are a bit bolder, the retailer has a few other lines of outdoor rugs with varying dimensions and similar prices. With colorful graphics, geometric prints, and motifs ranging from fruit to foliage to flowers, these rugs are a cheap and clever way to perk up your patio in a flash.

Made with tough materials, Costco's indoor-outdoor rugs are meant to stand up to weather. The materials are waterproof, quick to dry, and resistant to UV rays, mold, and stains. Reviews of the Ravenna and Costco's other rug lines are consistently high, with lots of praise for their looks, price, and how easy they are to clean with just a hose.

With rugs as small as roughly 5 feet by 7 feet and as large as 8 feet by 13 feet, where and how you use Costco's outdoor rugs depend entirely on your taste and space. Even a tiny rug can help maximize your outdoor living space. For example, you can arrange one in front of a porch swing or rocking chairs if you only have a few feet to spare. Or, an oversized rug beneath a furniture set creates the feel of a separate room. In the same vein, use several rugs in varying sizes to carve out multiple sitting areas on a large deck. 

Some reviewers mentioned purchasing more than one rug in the same size and design to lend a more ample feel to their sitting areas. You can also spring for styles fit for different seasons for an easily updatable look. Usher in the growing season with springy Naples Akela in green. The mouthwatering fruit prints of the Verano rugs scream summer, and when the temps dip, cozy up with cabin flair of the moose or bear-themed Naples rug.
