Elevating your picnic experience with picnic rugs and blankets 

Who doesn’t love a refreshing picnic, especially when the sun is smiling, the grass is green, and the air is filled with the symphony of chirping birds? When it comes to dining al fresco, we often consider the food, the location, and perhaps the company we keep. However, there’s another picnic essential that can significantly elevate your outdoor dining experience: the humble picnic blanket or rug! 

Picnic rugs and blankets are your tickets to utmost comfort while enjoying the tranquillity of the outdoors. They’re a picnic accessory that creates a cosy space for you to sit back, relax, and revel in the beauty of your surroundings. 

Also, the multifunctionality of picnic rugs and blankets makes them an invaluable gem in your picnic gear. They even transcend their basic use, doubling up as a chic tablecloth, a protective sunshade, or even a makeshift pillow. 

Is there a difference between picnic rugs and picnic blankets? 

In the spirit of having an enjoyable picnic experience, one might find themselves wondering about the essentials to bring along. Among these, picnic rugs and picnic blankets are staples, but is there a difference between the two?

Well, for the most part, picnic rugs and picnic blankets serve almost identical purposes – they act as a cosy foundation for your picnic setup. Now, you might be wondering, ‘If they serve similar purposes, are they really different?’ Good question! While they both aim to amplify the pleasure of outdoor dining by offering a comfortable lounging area, there is a subtle distinction. 

Generally, a picnic rug tends to be a bit thicker, allowing you to savour the experience of a plush, cushioned base. On the other hand, picnic blankets usually boast a thinner design, making them a light and versatile option to carry around. Some might gravitate towards the additional cushioning of a rug, while others might favour the lightweight convenience of a blanket. 

What do we think? 

Picnic rugs are the better alternative 

Given you now know the difference between a picnic blanket and a picnic rug, another question pops up, ‘Which one to go for?’ Allow us to make a friendly suggestion – the picnic rug is the real game-changer here! Here’s why: 

• Picnic rugs are generally thicker, offering that much-needed cushion and a slice of home comfort when you're out at the park or beach. Imagine sitting on a comfy rug with a gentle breeze around you – no more fidgeting on a thin, uncomfortable outdoor blanket or large picnic mat. 
• These rugs are not only about comfort but also about endurance. They’re known for being sturdy and capable of withstanding anything from robust sea breezes to damp grasses. 
• Picnic rugs can also be cleaned as needed and are far less likely to fray after washes, ensuring they’ll be your picnic companion for many sunny days to come.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What should I look for in a picnic blanket?

So, by now, we bet you’re all in on why a picnic rug is a game-changer compared to a waterproof blanket or even an easy-to-clean picnic blanket. When selecting the perfect large picnic rug, consider the size to ensure there’s enough space for everyone and everything, and opt for durable, easy-to-clean materials. Style matters too, so find a design that tickles your fancy and a surface, possibly padded or quilted, that feels soft and comfy.

An eco-friendly picnic blanket can be made from sustainable materials like recycled plastic, organic cotton, bamboo, and wool.
