7 Best Outdoor Rugs — From $13 Straw Mats to Splurge-Worthy Jute · July 2026

🥇Cheapest by far, still looks polished for the price

This one's basically the entry point to outdoor rugs — a striped plastic straw mat that costs less than a pizza delivery. It won't fool anyone into thinking it's a fancy weave, but the stripe pattern reads clean and put-together for the price, and this style of woven plastic is usually easy to hose off.

🥈Priciest pick, but looks noticeably more upscale

A big step up in material and price — this is a natural jute weave, not plastic straw, so it has that warm, textured look that makes a patio or sunroom feel more like a real room. It's an investment piece, but the neutral tone works with pretty much any outdoor furniture.

🥉Pricier than #1, still budget-friendly and stylish

A scalloped edge and a black-and-beige palette give this one a boutique-entryway look without the boutique price tag. Jute rugs like this are typically marketed as washable, which is handy for a front door mat that catches dirt and rain.

The botanical print gives this one more personality than a plain woven mat, and being reversible and foldable means you can flip it for a fresh look or pack it away for winter. Waterproof plastic straw construction is the same practical logic as the cheaper straw mats, just in a bigger 8x10 size with a nicer pattern.

Bright, floral, and clearly meant to be the centerpiece of a patio rather than blend into the background. It's built for outdoor and camping use with a non-slip backing, so it seems geared toward people who actually move it around a lot rather than leave it in one spot forever.

The palm-print design leans tropical and pool-adjacent, which is exactly the vibe most people are chasing with an outdoor rug this size. It's reversible plastic straw construction like a few others on this list, so the appeal here is really about the print rather than anything structurally different.

A textured floral weave in navy and aqua that looks more like an indoor area rug than a typical outdoor mat, which is probably why it's priced closer to the jute options. Good pick if the goal is a covered patio that should look intentional, not just functional.
