I bought two of these in the coral and starfish rug design; one slightly smaller to use in my outdoor pool changing room, and one outside a double sliding door to wipe wet feet before coming in the house. They can be used indoor or out. They are cushy and soft under foot.  The beautiful aqua and blues compliment the pool area.  I would suggest vacuuming these with the beater bar off or with a brush attachment, as I think the loops in the rug may tend to pull out easily.
