How To Choose An Outdoor Patio Fabric With Flair, Function And Fun

You can easily create an additional “outdoor room” to your home by making the most of your patio, porch, deck or backyard space, and beautiful all-weather furniture is at the forefront of this season’s home entertainment and design plans. Choosing just the right outdoor patio fabric can add considerable personality and longevity to your investment in quality outdoor furniture pieces, giving you the benefits of all-weather durability without having to sacrifice a sense of high style and your own unique fashion flair.

Although conventional fabric for patio furniture has often been rather bland and mass-produced in solid colors and staid stripes, there’s now a real design renaissance in outdoor patio fabric that matches the sudden re-emergence of outdoor entertaining as a sophisticated alternative to formal dining. Retro fabric prints, bold new pattern combinations, complimentary contrasting cushions and a modern pop of unexpected color can all greatly enhance the total look and ambiance of the patio scene you set for yourself and for your guests.

Among the best new textile design trends, retro fabric prints stand out as the most intriguing way to recall and revive the graciousness, verve and spirit of outdoor relaxing and hosting. In the architectural lines of art deco, the muted florals and leaf patterns of the forties, the angles and aquas of the fifties, the neons and ebullient curves of the sixties or the groovy and graphic pop power of the seventies, they all somehow appear fresh, modern and classic at the same time.

Just as classic retro fabric prints extend the style life of your patio furniture by making it look timeless, the actual make-up of your fabric for outdoor furniture can help extend its physical durability and usage lifetime. Amazing technical textile treatment advances have increased the options, and are tailored to meet your particular requirements.

Some key things to keep in mind when shopping for the longest-lasting fabrics, finishes and maintenance techniques for outdoor furnishing textiles and cushions include:

• Fabric types and materials have various cosmetic and wear qualities, with advantages for different purposes and climates. In general, outdoor patio and marine fabrics with the most consistent customer satisfaction ratings and recommendations include those made of filament or spun polyester, PVC threads, acrylic, tight linen, treated duck canvas, jacquard weaves and vinyl.

• Most fabric for outdoor furniture is poly-chemically treated to withstand the effects of harsh light and rain, coated to resist both stains and mildew. To preserve their UV ray, sun, waterproofing and fade resistant qualities, it is best to avoid machine washing. Instead, simply brush off dirt before it becomes ingrained in the material, and try immediate sponging, blotting or spot cleaning by hand for any potential stains.

• Simple maintenance steps to extend the life of your chic and sleek outdoor patio upholstery include using readily available cleaners and protective sprays specially formulated for use on outdoor furniture fabric, as well as vinyl patio furniture covers to slip on for an added layer to protect both your patio furniture and fabric when not in use.
