I have owned SEVERAL nuLOOM rugs and used them both indoors and outside. For a while when training the pup I found myself going through too many area rugs. Not only are nuLOOM rugs and extremely attractive indoor rug, but the look, feel, quality... you would never think it were an outdoor piece. A terrific cost effective alternative without the sacrifice.
I have also owned nuLOOM's for outdoor use. I purchased this one for outside my new waterfront condo in blue... I was on the fence between grey and blue because I like a paler shade but I went with the blue. I'm so glad I did. it is a right shade of blue, not palee but looks stunning and high-end. And s for "Moroccan" ... I actually had a Moroccan themed office in my last home and used many Moroccan accents. This does NOT have to be Moroccan. This is perfectly suited for any outdoor space and goes wonderfully with my nautical look. I cannot wait for the warm weather to get here! I could even put it out there now in winter, it will hold up, but it's new so I'll wait.
The nuLOOM's hold up outstandingly well outside. I even had one survive Hurricane Sandy.
Highly recommend nuLOOM!
