The Fallen Fruits outdoor rug ‘adds warmth'(Image: Dunelm)
With the sunshine finally making an appearance and barbecues being brought out of storage, it’s officially time to start thinking about giving the garden a glow-up. If your patio is looking more ‘drab’ than ‘fab’ after the long winter months, there are some affordable upgrades that can make a big difference at Dunelm.
Outdoor rugs are an easy way to add interest and Dunelm’s Fallen Fruits Green & White Tiles Rug is likely to be a must-have addition for the summer. By treating your garden as an extension of the home, adding a rug can instantly turn plain concrete or tired decking into a stylish, inviting outdoor space.
Available to buy for £24, the rug measures a sizeable 120cm x 183cm. Made from water resistant polypropylene, the stylish green and white garden tile design creates a sophisticated look on patios, balconies and outdoor spaces.
Because the British weather can be unpredictable, the rug is designed to handle rain without developing mould when the heavens open. UV Resistant, it won’t fade to a dull grey after just a couple of days in the sunshine.
The reversible design lets garden lovers change the look whenever they fancy, and the easy to clean composition just needs a rinse down with the garden hose to look good as new.

The rug can be used both indoors and outdoors.
The pretty polypropylene rug can also be used indoors and is perfect for high traffic areas. One buyer who does just that, left a five star review saying: “Love the colour, use in my kitchen, it matches my colour scheme and adds warmth to cold lino. I used a little double sided tape to hold in place.”
Another popular choice is the Maroc Geometric Indoor Outdoor Rug – a bargain buy starting from just £10. With its striking design and easy to clean material, this black and white rug will liven up any outdoor space.

Offering a more high-contrast look compared to the softer green and white tile pattern of the Fallen Fruits Green & White Tiles Rug, the Maroc has a more modern look.
Like the green version, it’s made from durable polypropylene with a water-permeable finish, so it can handle unexpected showers without needing to be rushed indoors. It’s also reversible, meaning you can simply flip it over to freshen it up or deal with any spills – making it just as practical as its counterpart.
If the Dunelm rugs aren’t quite right, the £25 Habitat Stripe Outdoor Rug has traditional good looks that serve up Wimbledon vibes. Measuring 180 x 240cm, the green and white pattern adds character to alfresco meals, lazy afternoons with a book, or evenings gathered round with friends.
Another option is the Yard Natural Seagrove Natural Seagrove Jute Effect Rug from Next that offers a more natural aesthetic. With prices starting from £54, its an upscale way to dress up floors both indoors and out.

Shoppers who have already snapped up the Maroc Geometric Indoor Outdoor Rug from Dunelm have given it an impressive 4.8 out of five-star rating. One buyer said: “This ‘Special Buy’ rug is excellent value for £10.00. It looks fabulous on my open balcony and brightens up the area. I don’t know how it will wear but at that price I’ll happily replace it next spring.”
Another added: “Great quality and very reasonable price I have bought 6 to cover an area on my patio which was full of weeds and has brightened it up making it a lot cleaner and modern.” A third said: “Bought it for half price for a garden corner seating area. Just the right size and looks great.”
One shopper was less impressed however, leaving a three-star review noting: “Was a lot smaller than I thought and is super thin. Using it at the moment but getting a better one.” In contrast, another delighted buyer explained: “I wanted a new outdoor rug to compliment our patio and recently refurbished garage, this was just what I was looking for at an unbelievable price.
“Ordering online was easy and straightforward. Looking great on my patio in less than two days! Great quality and looks as if it will be hard-wearing.”
