Nourison Aloha Indoor/Outdoor Rug vs Safavieh Vintage Hamadan Area Rug

Buy the Nourison Aloha if the rug has to survive weather, pets or spills; its flat polypropylene weave, hose-rinse care and OEKO-TEX certification suit patios, porches and busy indoor rooms. Buy the Safavieh Vintage Hamadan if you want a soft, plush indoor rug with a vintage medallion look for a living room or bedroom. The Nourison is the tougher, more versatile pick; the Safavieh is the more comfortable one, but it is indoor-only and its care instructions call for professional cleaning.

• Choose the Nourison Aloha if you need one rug that works on a deck, porch or patio and inside, and you want to rinse spills off with a hose.
• Choose the Safavieh Vintage Hamadan if you want a thick, soft cut-pile rug with a vintage pattern for an indoor living room or bedroom.
