Selecting from the variety online is like choosing artwork to display perpendicular to your personal Picassos. Kukoon Ruskin Aqua. Right now we're loving the company's suggestion to 'make your garden your new favourite room' — by planting an outdoor rug front and fore, naturally. See, while we may have the patio barbecue kit sorted, it's this extra touch that'll make that zone sizzle (sorry!). Flatweave materials ensure these 'superheroes' of the rug world are moisture-resistant and quick-drying; free delivery on orders in Ireland and Britain; see Kukoonrugs.
