A carpet for your patio? I wasn’t convinced either until I bought one and the difference is amazing
If you don’t have the budget for a garden makeover this summer, this is one easy upgrade that can make your outside space look immediately put-together and inviting – and it costs from as little as £6.
I’ll admit, I wasn’t convinced at first. A rug… outside? It felt like something that would either get ruined in only a few weeks, or just look a little odd. But after one in my own back garden (where I’m currently fighting a losing battle with brambles) I was suprised by how much of a difference it made.
An outdoor rug like this Waterproof Rug, £17.99 is designed to be left outside in all weather (and after a whole winter of bad weather mine is still looking great), but more importantly, they add definition to an outside space. An outdoor rug can turn a basic patio or patchy decking area into something that feels like an entertaining space.
