From Scandinavian craftsmanship to contemporary collaborations, these outdoor rug collections demonstrate how design is increasingly moving beyond the threshold of the home

Now that the sunshine is finally here, we can spend more time outside-but we want to keep it stylish! When it comes to outdoor rugs, there is no reason to compromise on design.

The search for rugs that offer ‘pzazz’ yet also practical performance for outside spaces has grown and, in line with the global outdoor furniture market, their sales are set to continue rising. Here is our choice of outdoor rugs for 2026 from a selection of American and European brands.

Momeni x Novogratz

Designed with the modern family in mind, Robert and Cortney Novogratz bring their uninhibited sense of style to a curated collection of home furnishings. Blending expressive design with everyday functionality, the collection offers pieces that feel both distinctive and accessible.

Whether your aesthetic leans towards modern bohemia or mid-century minimalism, these boutique-inspired designs are budget-friendly while remaining robust and long-lasting. Each piece is conceived to balance character, comfort, and practicality within contemporary living spaces.

Ferreira de Sá

Stratum by Ferreira de Sá evokes the sedimentary layers found on cave walls, expressed through vertical and horizontal lines shaped by time. Mineral tones and irregular contours reference natural rock formations while maintaining a subtle equilibrium and quiet sense of symmetry.

The loop-and-cut construction enhances this layered relief, translating geological structure into a calm, architectural textile expression that feels both grounded and refined.

La Manufacture Cogolin

La Manufacture Cogolin extends its celebrated flat-woven rug designs into an outdoor collection, adapting the house’s distinctive aesthetic for exterior settings. Woven using robust polypropylene rope, the rugs combine durability with the refined character that has long defined the French manufacture.

The collection encompasses both subtle, textural designs and more graphic compositions, drawing on La Manufacture Cogolin’s archive of geometric patterns. Produced on Jacquard looms, each piece showcases the interplay of structure, rhythm and colour, highlighting the craftsmanship behind the weaving process.

Available in a range of custom sizes and colourways, the collection brings the elegance of traditional flat-weaving to terraces, gardens and outdoor living spaces.

Charlotte Lancelot x Pinton

In this collection of outdoor rugs, Charlotte Lancelot continues her exploration of magnification as a visual language. Patterns originate from schematic weaving drawings—primitive warp and weft structures which, when enlarged, evolve into rhythmic, architectural landscapes.

This magnifying-glass effect, recurring throughout her practice, reveals what is usually unseen: the detail of the stitch, the gesture embedded in making. A flat weave, developed specifically for outdoor use, is enhanced with applied embroidery that reintroduces volume as a secondary layer of expression.

The result is a “stitch within a stitch” — a textile mise en abyme that duplicates and amplifies the original design. Between technical precision and poetic intention, the rugs become tactile fragments of a reimagined textile language, bringing a strong graphic presence to outdoor environments.

Warli

The Strato rug is developed from a new exclusive bi-colour rope with a mesh construction, echoing the layered effect characteristic of the accompanying basket collection.

An applied border along the short sides introduces a graphic detail that subtly references traditional fringed edging, reinforcing the dialogue between structure and decoration in a contemporary register.

Warp & Weft X Yabu Pushelberg

For Warp & Weft, Yabu Pushelberg has created two collections, TERRA and GRID, inspired by the contrasting landscapes of the natural and built environment.

TERRA draws from aerial views of the earth, translating diverse terrains and geological formations into richly textured compositions that evoke movement, dimension and serenity.

GRID, meanwhile, reinterprets the geometry of modern urban topography, softening the rigidity of city streets and architectural grids through fragmented patterns, tonal variation and subtle shifts in texture.

Hand-knotted using hand-dyed wool and silk, both collections celebrate the integrity of the handwoven process. Balancing organic forms with structured geometry, the designs offer a refined and contemporary perspective, bringing depth, texture and understated sophistication to modern interiors.

Pappelina

Every Pappelina rug is crafted in Leksand, Sweden, reflecting authentic Scandinavian craftsmanship. Produced using Swedish-made, phthalate-free PVC combined with a durable polyester warp, the rugs are designed for longevity, safety, and everyday resilience.

Skilled weaving techniques and high-quality materials define the collection, resulting in pieces that combine contemporary Scandinavian design with vibrant colour palettes and exceptional durability.
