Anyone who's tried to find the perfect rug online knows the problem: that beige looks warm and sandy on your phone screen, but suddenly cool and grayish on your laptop. Does the pattern really match your sofa? And how does the material actually feel?
Uncertainty is especially high with outdoor textiles. An outdoor rug needs to look good and withstand the elements. To save you the hassle of returns and hauling heavy packages, mokebo has a simple solution: you can order a rug sample beforehand.
We'll show you what makes our outdoor collection special and why a little sample check upfront is the easiest path to your new favorite rug.

Our outdoor rugs: design meets function
Before we get to samples, let's take a look at what awaits you. Our indoor and outdoor rugs are specially designed to make your outdoor space feel like home—whether it's a sprawling patio or a cozy balcony.
A mokebo rug is more than just decoration. It's designed in Belgium and stands for modern design and quality craftsmanship. The material is durable and colorfast, so colors stay vibrant even after a sunny summer. Plus, our outdoor rugs are weather-resistant: rain won't hurt them since the fabric dries quickly and doesn't absorb moisture.
Especially important for families and pet owners: all models are 100% Oeko Tex certified, meaning they're tested for harmful substances and safe. And if something spills during a barbecue? No problem—as a washable rug, it's easy to clean, even with a pressure washer.
Designs and sizes for every space
We currently offer three different designs that coordinate beautifully with our outdoor lounge furniture. You have the choice: an outdoor rug in beige or natural woven texture like 'Der Natürliche' brings warm, natural vibes. 'Der Gestreifte' outdoor rug with gray and white block stripes adds modern elegance to your patio. If you prefer something more lively, a colorful outdoor rug with vibrant accents like 'Der Sonnige' is the perfect statement piece.
All versions come in three practical sizes: 120 x 170 cm for compact areas, 160 x 230 cm as the standard size, and 200 x 290 cm for larger lounge spaces.
Why order a rug sample?
You might wonder why you should take the extra step and order a rug sample first. The answer is simple: it saves you time, stress, and helps the environment.
A rug is a big package. If you don't like it in person, it has to be properly packed, picked up, and transported back. That creates unnecessary CO2 emissions and effort for you. By ordering a small sample first, you make a thoughtful purchase decision. You avoid returns and ensure your outdoor rug makes the trip to your balcony or patio only once—when it's there to stay.
The reality check: how to test properly
A sample gives you confidence no online photo can provide. When your rug sample arrives, you can test it thoroughly in your own environment.
Lay the sample exactly where your outdoor rug will eventually go. Watch how the colors look at different times of day. Does the gray look different in morning sunlight than in afternoon shade? Does the colorful pattern really complement your garden furniture pillows, or do the colors clash?
You can also test the feel. Touch the material and feel the weave. Our rugs are flatwoven and very durable, yet still feel pleasant underfoot. This "touch test" is often the deciding moment.
