The Hardy Outdoor CarpetIndoor outdoor carpeting can turn a dirty old porch into a welcoming display for your home. There are many options in style and color and you don't have to deal with Astroturf at all. The new indoor outdoor carpeting available on the market is the real thing only sturdier. Everyone has been to a home that had the green, prickly Astroturf on the porch. It is supposed to look like grass, I think but it really doesn't do such a great job. The entire thing looks like something that might grow under the porch instead of something that is placed on purpose in the area. We have come a long way since the Astroturf days and indoor outdoor carpeting has paved the way to a bright, decorative future for both the inside and outside of the home. You can choose from a ton of designs as well as solid colors for your space. The options are vast and you have no reason to keep your porch bare any longer. The indoor outdoor carpeting is perfect for anyone who has a breeze way like I do. I love that the breeze way serves as a kind of sunroom. There are two doors facing each other in the area and it is entirely enclosed with glass windows. It makes for the perfect place to stop right before entering the home. When we first moved into the house, we immediately removed the Astroturf that seemed to be growing on the breeze way. Under the plastic grass rug we found lots of dirt and an unattractive cement foundation for the porch. While I was thrilled to be rid of the green stuff, I was just as turned off by the grey stuff. My husband painted the breeze way with epoxy paint which made it appear better but there was still something cold and uninviting about the space. I didn't think about indoor outdoor carpeting as an option just because we had just gotten rid of the Astroturf. I just couldn't imagine covering up my husband's paint job. That is, until I was at a home improvement store. I saw indoor outdoor carpeting that boasted blue and yellow tones that matched the French country decorating theme I had started. I bought the indoor outdoor carpeting immediately and took it home. We are thrilled with the results. The breeze way is now an extension of our house. It is warm and inviting and we spend many hours enjoying the beautiful space. It is amazing how something like indoor outdoor carpeting can make such a difference. |
