Time to lighten up and brighten up for spring. Outdoor furniture is getting more interesting and more affordable (sometimes).

The Rug Market

The Rug Market, a Los Angeles manufacturer, has developed patterns that look like something you’d see in a boutique hotel. The tufted polypropylene Zebra, left, and Cane, right, start at $320 for 5-by-8-foot area rug.  (Isaac Brekken / For The Times)

Liora Manne rug

Known for floral and butterfly rugs with delicate gradations, designer Liora Manne has turned anti-microbial fibers into indoor-outdoor felt. In her latest collection, Loope, Manne adds texture with a raised floral vine pattern called Windsor. Prices run from $175 (for a 3.5-by-5.5-foot rug) to $700 (for an 8-by-10-foot piece).  (Isaac Brekken / For The Times)
