Tucker, Ga. —

Responding to the popularity of outdoor entertaining, Homespice Décor introduced its trademarked Out-Durable braided rugs in 2005. In response to continuing consumer requests, the firm now offers Out-Durable braided accessories to complement each of the rugs in the Out-Durable collection.

Made from tough and colorfast olefin, a synthetic polyester, the rugs and accessories are soft to the touch, stain resistant, and stand up to the elements. Whether it's a food or drink spill, stains are easily removed by washing with water and soap. For outdoor convenience, they can be cleaned with a garden hose.

The placemats are available in both oval and rectangle shapes. and are available in multi-colored braids that match rugs by the same names. Colors include Aegean Sea, Irish Mist, Savannah, Tacoma, Driftwood, Monterrey, Tuscany, Hyde Park, Reno, and Venetian Glass. Priced at $14.95 in 13-by-19 oval, or $19.95 in 12-by-19 rectangle.

In rugs, the key styles are Barcelona, in Tuscan shades of burgundy, dark and olive greens, gold and cream; and Malibu in cool, soothing blend of deep green, bright blue, soft gold and pale cream. Each is available in oval, rectangle or round, in sizes from 2-by-3 to 8-by-10, priced to retail from $44 to $769.
