Hi interior enthusiasts,
When it comes to creating the perfect outdoor space, choosing the right fabric for your furniture and cushions is key. Now that winter time is officialy over we wanted to deep dive into the outdoor fabric world with you.
They should not only look great, but they also need to stand up to the elements rain, sun, and everything in between. We’ve rounded up 10 outdoor fabrics that are as stylish as they are durable, ensuring your outdoor furniture and decoration stays looking fresh and vibrant for years.
Outdoor fabrics have come a long way since the days of simple prints and limited options.


New Era
For a while, the typical outdoor fabric was just that—outdoor fabric. The focus was primarily on weather resistance, durability, and quick drying. If you wanted something nice, you usually had to stick to the basics nothing too bold or intricate. Patterns? Maybe a simple stripe here and there.
Let’s fast forward to today..
Oh so classic
Stripes still hold that summer beach house vibe, but now they come in a variety of colors, textures, and weaves that look just as sophisticated as the chic interiors you see in design magazines. Want to give it some extra flair, be playful with a piping.
Pattern Play
Gone are the days when the only prints available were bold florals or basic patterns. Today, the world is your oyster. You can get everything from the rustic charm of plaids and checks to the modern elegance of abstract art.
You don’t have to choose between functionality and style anymore. In fact, you can create an outdoor oasis that feels just as cozy and stylish as your living room.
Borders
And here’s where you can really get creative: outdoor borders and piping are the perfect way to add personality and style to your outdoor furniture without going overboard. These subtle accents can be used to frame your cushions, highlight patterns, or simply add a clean, tailored look to plain fabrics.
If you love the idea of a pattern but aren’t quite ready to go bold, borders and pipings let you spice up a simple fabric with minimal effort.
Designers Tip!
Since the game has changed, outdoor fabrics can be just as beautiful as indoors, so why not welcome them into your home?
Something that I’ve been doing with my clients for a very long time already, if you have kids (or pets), you know that spills are part of the fun. Especially when you’ve got that beloved dining nook as I do. Stain-resistant, water-resistant, and easy to clean, making them the perfect choice for families who want both a stylish space and something that can stand up to the occasional splash of lemonade or ice cream dribble.
You will thank later, never compromise on style!
