Tamiya Terracotta 5'3 x 7'6 Indoor/Outdoor Rug

While designed for the rigors of outdoor use, this rug's flat-weave construction is soft enough for indoor transitional spaces like mudrooms, entryways, or kitchens. At 0.25" thick, it offers a low profile that fits easily under most doors while providing a durable barrier that protects your interior flooring from dirt and moisture.

This mid-size rectangular rug is a versatile "anchor" piece for various layouts. It is an ideal scale for defining a small outdoor conversation set, placing under a bistro table with two to four chairs, or grounding a balcony seating area. For indoor use, these dimensions work perfectly in a foyer or to define a specific zone within a larger open-concept room.

This rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber engineered for maximum durability. Unlike natural fibers, polypropylene is non-absorbent, making it inherently resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew. This construction is ideal for high-traffic zones, as the fibers are resistant to staining and shedding, ensuring the geometric diamond pattern remains crisp and vibrant over time.

Yes, this rug is well-suited for rainy environments because the polypropylene fibers do not trap water and are designed to dry quickly. To protect a wooden deck, we recommend ensuring the rug is placed on a clean surface and occasionally lifting it after heavy rainfall to allow the wood underneath to breathe. This prevents the trapped moisture that can sometimes lead to wood rot or staining on natural timber surfaces.

Maintenance for this rug is exceptionally straightforward, making it a practical choice for active households. For routine care, you can simply shake out the rug or vacuum it to remove loose debris. For deeper cleaning, the durable polypropylene material allows you to rinse the rug directly with a garden hose. Based on our material care expertise, we recommend hanging the rug to dry thoroughly in the sun to maintain its structural integrity and prevent any lingering moisture.

Polypropylene is a solution-dyed material, meaning the color is integrated into the fiber itself rather than just applied to the surface. This makes the rug significantly more fade-resistant than traditional textiles. For homes in high-UV regions like Florida or Texas, this ensures the rich terracotta and white tones stay bright even with regular exposure to direct sunlight.

While the rug features a durable flat-weave backing, we recommend using an outdoor-rated rug pad when placing it on smooth surfaces like concrete, tile, or stone. A pad provides additional grip to prevent slipping and adds a layer of cushioning that enhances the feel of the rug underfoot, especially in casual, barefoot-friendly spaces.
