What’s not to love about having a coastal home? The sweet smell of salty air, the draw of the ocean right out your back door, or the sandy beaches that demand your daytime attention come to mind. The only exception may be all the sand that comes back into your home from a trip to the beach.

The outdoor furniture stores and rug galleries at Hickory Furniture Mart will offer solutions for this problem. Outside of trying to rinse off every last speck of sand before you come in, a rug to trap those little particles will help.
Textured rugs of sisal or sisal-like material are a great option to keep the sand at bay. Open textured weaves allow the sand to fall through and stay out of your main living areas while being able to vacuum easily. These types of rugs are often made from easy to clean synthetic materials such as Olefin or acrylic. These take a beating from the rough sand better than natural materials and do not water spot.
If you must have a natural material, consider a rough sisal weave that has plenty of fibers to grab the sand. Varigated tones of seagrass will be less likely to show dirt and water spots and will release the sand easily when vacuumed.
While there is no perfect solution to keep those little specks of sand from getting throughout, a good outdoor rug will help to keep it contained. Our North Carolina furniture outlets and showrooms will offer plenty of options to go with your home’s style. Natural tones of gray or brown will be found with splashes of color and pattern.
