Lobster Bay Blue 7'6 x 9' Indoor/Outdoor Rug

This rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber favored by design experts for its exceptional resilience. Unlike natural fibers, polypropylene is non-absorbent, making it inherently resistant to stains, mold, and mildew. This makes it an ideal solution for high-traffic zones such as mudrooms, entryways, or busy family patios where durability and easy maintenance are primary concerns.

This rug is specifically engineered with UV protection to preserve its coastal blue and red tones. Polypropylene is a solution-dyed material, meaning the pigment is integrated throughout the fiber rather than just applied to the surface. This ensures the rug maintains its aesthetic integrity even in intense-sun climates like Florida or Arizona, resisting the bleaching effects of prolonged solar exposure.

While built to withstand the elements, this rug features a handmade construction that provides a more refined texture than typical machine-made outdoor rugs. It offers a practical balance of comfort and toughness, making it a "pet-proof" and "kid-proof" choice for indoor spaces. It provides a soft enough surface for play while allowing for the heavy-duty cleaning often required in homes with active families.

Yes, this rug is well-suited for wooden surfaces because it is quick-drying and mold-resistant. However, to best protect your deck’s finish, our experts suggest pairing it with a breathable rug pad. This encourages airflow between the rug and the wood, preventing moisture from becoming trapped, which helps protect against wood rot and surface staining over time.

Maintenance is designed to be low-effort. For daily care, we recommend regular vacuuming or simply shaking out the rug to remove sand and debris. For spills or seasonal refreshes, the moisture-resistant polypropylene allows you to hose the rug off with water and a mild detergent. To prevent mildew in humid coastal regions, ensure the rug is allowed to air dry fully in the sun. For the best long-term results with this handmade weave, periodic professional cleaning is recommended.

The Lobster Bay collection offers several sizes to suit various layouts. The 7'6" x 9' rectangle is the ideal scale for anchoring a standard 4-person patio dining set or a medium-sized lounge area with a sofa and chairs. For narrow apartment balconies or transitional walkways, the 2' x 6' runner is a perfect fit, while the 3' x 5' and 5' x 7'6" variations are excellent for defining smaller conversation nooks.
