How to Choose Patio Furniture Fabric
![]() |
Your patio -- it's a place where you relax, gather with loved ones, even enjoy meals. If you have patio furniture, you probably put a great deal of thought into the purchase. Whether you have metal, plastic, wicker or wood patio furniture, you need something more to make it complete -- patio furniture fabric. Some outdoor chairs will require cushions for comfortable seating. Not only that, but you will definitely want an umbrella to shade you from the harsh rays of the sun.
The fabric you choose should be made for the outdoors. You will want something durable, with weather and UV resistant properties. Luckily there are lots of outdoor fabrics that have these qualities. Does this mean you should leave your cushions and umbrella out in a rainstorm? Probably not. But if you were unable to bring them inside and they did get wet, it wouldn't be a catastrophe. You can, of course, feel free to leave your fabric out in the sun if it is UV protected. Without this type of protection, the fabric may become discolored. With this type of protection, the fabric will stay vibrant and true.
Speaking of color, you can select between a solid color fabric as well as a variety of prints. With solids, there are choices in every color of the rainbow and beyond. Some people like a soft neutral, while others prefer something more vibrant. For a natural look that matches everything, go for shades like cream, beige, tan or brown. For a bright tropical look, try daring colors like fuschia or orange. If you like prints, you'll find lots of choices. There are dots, stripes, florals and abstract prints for every possible preference. Some of the most popular prints these days include retro florals, country gingham and island inspired palm trees.
As you can see, there are lots of options for weather-safe patio furniture fabric. You'll find that many patio sets come complete with a coordinating umbrella and cushions. If you do need to purchase these items separately, you can do so most anywhere that sells home decor and patio accessories. There are also a variety of online stores that offer lots of great fabrics. If you're handy with a sewing machine, you might even opt to make your own cushions.
