Not sure what style or design best fits your space when shopping for performance rugs? Don't worry; we have got you covered. Check out the tips below for ideas and inspiration as you choose the best piece to buy for your space. 

What Are the Advantages of a Performance Rug?

Whether you’re looking for an easy-care rug to fold into a dynamic home design or need a high-traffic area rug that doesn’t break the budget, performance rugs offer a versatile foundation to build your style on. Performance fibers are engineered to provide durability and stain resistance, making them a strong choice for spaces throughout your home. 

High-performance rugs are perfect for elevating your outdoor edit. Under an alfresco dining set or anchoring a patio lounge, these robust fibers can bring an unexpected touch of beauty to fresh-air curations—whether a seasonal hangout or an all-year part of your design.

Performance area rugs can also bring a practical touch to dining rooms or living spaces where life happens the most—where children, pets, or constant entertaining call for something durable and easy to clean underfoot. Performance runners and throws make great entryway and kitchen rugs where spills and foot traffic are par for the course. 

Finding An Easy-Care Rug That Suits Your Style 

An easy-care area rug or runner sounds great, but could I find one that fits my aesthetic? When you think of synthetic or performance rugs it may evoke images of sameish or less-than-inspired designs. That could not be further from the truth, and we’re here to show you a whole new world of performance area rugs and runners. 

More and more, rugmakers are opting for engineered materials for their practical advantages, bringing a modern touch to artful statement-makers and traditional styles alike. If you’re looking for that traveled air indoors or out, a Turkish-style performance rug like this Yamina Indoor / Outdoor Rug sets a dynamic base with timeless appeal. To elevate a space that plays host to pets or parties, a piece like this Dyer Indoor / Outdoor Rug can offer textural impact with a striking geometric design.

It’s also good to note that performance rugs refer to the use of specially engineered materials rather than any specific method of construction. There are hand-knotted performance rugs rooted in centuries-old techniques, just as there are power-loomed designs that make great high-traffic area rugs for evolving curations and everyday spaces. A flatweave can bring a practical touch to a dining room or kitchen, whereas a plush design like this Amani Indoor / Outdoor Rug makes a great easy-care area rug for a nursery or a cozy lounge. 

However you style it, a performance rug allows you the flexibility to showcase the nuances of your design aesthetic. Rugs are essential for creating a beautiful and inviting space, and performance rugs let you set a personalized and practical foundation indoors and out. Loved ones and visitors can immediately get a sense of who you are by seeing how you have utilized this foundational layer of decor to set off your edit.
