“TRANSTERIOR is the sweet spot where the inside and the outside merge,” explains Jamie. “For an outdoor room to work, it has to feel as comfortable as your living room indoors. Decoration is the finishing touch that makes all the difference to the indoor and outdoor experience, and you should treat both the same way.”

Comfort is the key factor and the TRANSTERIOR rugs feel as plush under your feet as an interior rug would.
