Outdoor Fabric
Outdoor fabric is made to take sunlight, damp and hard use without fading or going soft. It is ideal for garden furniture, seat pads and cushions on a terrace, and just as useful indoors in a conservatory or a room that gets strong afternoon light. Many of the designs here are made for indoor and outdoor use alike, so a garden scheme can carry through to the room beside it.
Harlequin offers Indoor Outdoor Weaves II, Sanderson has Indoor Outdoor Prints and Morris & Co brings its patterns outside with Outdoor-Performance. Clarke & Clarke offers Alfesco Indoor Outdoor and Emma J Shipley Indoor Outdoor Wild Escape, and Coordonné adds Shibori Outdoor and Ikart Outdoor.
Outdoor ratings vary, so check the product details for light fastness, water resistance and care notes before you order. Even a hard-wearing outdoor fabric lasts longer if cushions are brought in or covered over winter, and it is worth using fillings made for outdoor use too. Stripes, checks and bold botanicals all look at home in a garden.
