Did you stop to think about what you want in outdoor mats the last time you went shopping for them? If you are like most people, the answer is no. We usually choose the first design that we think will look nice around the home, but as it turns out this is not enough. If you choose your outdoor mats more carefully you can get a lot more out of them.

The first thing you should think about is durability – how long will the rugs that you have in mind last? Door rugs are cheap and for that reason many homeowners do not mind replacing them every few months. It doesn’t have to be this way – you can buy rugs that last for years without losing their good looks if you shop a bit more carefully.

You can also have rugs that are customized to your home decor. There are outdoor rug manufacturers who are happy to receive your designs and tailor make rugs for you. All you need to do is let them know what you are looking for in terms if design, size and colour and they will deliver right to your door…forgive the pun :-)!

Outdoor rugs should also be able to hold a great deal of debris and moisture -otherwise it will all be tracked into your home, creating more work for you around the home. Rugs that are made out of recyclable material tend to be very good at this.

One brand that wins every time is Hug Rugs. They have a wide variety of rugs that you can choose from, all of which are made out of recycled materials. They also come in all kinds of designs and shapes, but if you want yours customized talk to them and they will make it happen.
