Outdoor rugs are a great way to refresh your patio, deck, or backyard setup while providing a cushioned walking or lounging surface and -- if you dine al fresco -- the perfect crumb catcher.

We review the best washable rugs, including stain-resistant and non slip options and styles for the kitchen, nursery, living room, outdoor or homes with dogs.

Area rugs can range wildly in price, so we asked experts how to find the best quality and value, whether your budget is $200 or $2,000.
