How to pick outdoor cushions and pillows for your patio furniture
Written by Wicker Paradise
Many furniture stores offer a wide variety of replacement patio cushions in a variety of styles and patterns. Here are 5 tips to guide you when selecting your fabrics for your outdoor furniture.
Let your surroundings guide your choice – Look around your backyard to get inspiration on what colors and fabrics you should choose. For example, what do you currently have in your backyard? Do you have a pool, plants, decking? You should also consider the mood or vibe you’re trying to achieve. For example, are you considering a shabby chic casual vibe or a modern industrial look?
Decide on a theme you’ll love looking at – Try and stay away from styles that are on trend and look for fabrics and colors that are suitable for every season. For example, a Moroccan or a classic nautical theme would be suitable all year around.
Choose styles that create that “new” feeling – You want something that changes your space considerably and makes your space different from what it was before.
Comfort is essential – You should look at fabrics that are comfortable and easy to maintain.
Durability – Look at what properties the fabric offers. For example, is it water and UV resistant, are your cushions machine washable? These are smart options when selecting replacement patio cushions.
There are many online stores that offer fabrics and cushions for outdoor furniture. Some of the most popular options include Lloyd Flanders Cushions and Ikea.
