Looking for affordable outdoor rugs to makeover your outdoor spaces? Here are some of the best rugs that won’t break the bank.

This is a post about affordable outdoor rugs.

Where you can get them?

Which ones have the best pattern?

Which ones I love that I’ve ordered for less than the cost of a fancy dinner.

But can we press pause for just a moment on the entire rug discussion?

And tell you how proud I am of Westleigh.

Y’all.

She’s getting so close to opening her boutique called Thistle & Co (tentative open date is June 12) and she put the entire collection together in a power point and sent it out to dozens of people to crowd source before she even ordered anything. She’s organized and creative and hard-working and smart and I can’t believe how lucky I am to be her mother.

There is NOTHING better than watching your chicks spread their wings and fly. 🙂

And now? 

Back to our regularly scheduled rug program.

20 Best Affordable Outdoor Rugs For the Porch

black and white pattern/damask khaki/buffalo check

mini stripe/black and white stripe/small gray and black pattern

small and large stripe/khaki graphic pattern/bold graphic

Let’s start with neutral.

Neutral with a pattern.

Most of my porches have a neutral background to go with the house.

Here’s our back porch.

This black and white striped rug is my all-time favorite outdoor rug.

I think it’s the bold, graphic pattern that makes me so happy.

I got it for under $50 at Walmart and it comes in different colors and sizes and it just makes the entire porch pop.

Best summer purchase so far.

All the sources for the porch are found here.

Here’s our front porch from this year.

(total aside: those Dipladenias are blooming like crazy thanks to this tip.)

After we painted the brick porch and the steps several years ago (best decision ever—here’s how it held up two years later) it was a LOT of painted surface, so I added these two black rugs to each side of the porch.

I also love this rug or this rug for this space, too.

multi-blue pattern/blue and white stripe/classic blue

graphic pattern/blue and white floral/geometric pattern

mini blue pattern/mini stripe/classic floral

But what if you love blue and white like me?

No worries.

I got you.

I’m actually working on a fun project where I needed to find blue and white rugs.

And some of these?

May or may not have come home with me.

My favorite was this one. It’s truly meant for outside because it’s made of woven plastic, but IT’S SO PRETTY.

I also loved this tile pattern and this tiny stripe and the classic look of this rug.

And remember this Cape Cod beach house back porch makeover from last year?

This rug is everything.

I got so many questions about the rug and then it sold out.

But in amazing news?

They brought it back this year.

How is your porch decorating going?

Are you getting it ready for summer?

Just remember—rugs are amazing. Planters are amazing. Porch swings are amazing.

But the one thing that every porch needs?

A little sweet tea.

Happy summer. 🙂
