Steal! This £15 Argos outdoor rug can transform your patio for spring 2021
Bag one before the 29th of March to wow your garden guests... (we've bought one)
Looking to buy an outdoor rug for your garden? Smart idea: we are allowed guests (one other household, that is) over in the garden in just a few weeks time. So, it's officially time to start prepping your space and getting it guest-ready. If you've already nailed the garden furniture, you've dusted off the BBQ and you've got your garden lighting down (or up) then the next thing on your to-buy list should be an outdoor rug. Specifically, this Argos outdoor rug. We own this outdoor rug and we love it. Why? Other than being good looking and a bargain, it's also easy to keep clean and it's rollable, so you can store it with ease or even take it with you on a picnic. What makes it an outdoor rug? Its 100% polypropylene construction makes it breathable, weather-resistant and its woven threads are UV treated so that the sun won't do anything other than make it shine in your space. Perfect for a patio area, balcony or terrace, this garden rug is surprisingly large at 90cm wide by 170cm deep.
For those who don't remember, last year Argos sold out of their outdoor rugs (we would know, as we were desperate to get our hands on one) pretty fast, and it's easy to see why. A simple and cheap way to spruce up your outdoor space without replacing furniture or getting your paintbrush out, a garden rug isn't just for style. It's much nicer for your feet to sit on as opposed to a patio or even wet grass, and it can also hide an otherwise boring (or ugly) patio. Alternatively, it's perfect for popping your coffee table atop. If you have floor cushions for your garden, to seat extra people, then an outdoor rug can protect these from touching dirty floor.
Outdoor rugs are set to be BIG this spring and summer – you heard it here first. Don't miss your chance to buy one for a cheap price ahead of the warmer weather...
