How to buy outdoor furniture cushions

Written by Wicker Paradise

Freshen up your outdoor space on a low budget by adding outdoor cushions. Remember that outdoor cushions will fade over time, due to exposure to rain and sunlight. Therefore they will need to be replaced at least every 6 months or so. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect style for your home.

Take accurate measurements before you visit the store – It is best to measure the length, width, and height of the cushions you intend to buy.

Select a design – Most chair cushions come in two styles. One style comes as a single piece, that covers the seat and the back of the chair. The second style is one that comes in two separate pieces and is fastened with ties at the back of the chair. One piece patio furniture cushions are best for structured chairs that are upright and have arms. If you have benches or arm-less chairs, it is best to choose cushions with ties.

Cushions should be made out of outdoor materials – When choosing your outdoor fabric, choose one that is weather and UV resistant.

Color and pattern – Cushions for outdoor furniture come in a variety of colors and patterns. For example, a nautical theme of navy and white stripes would look best near a pool.

Think about decorative accessories – You can add accessories to compliment your furniture by adding matching pillows and a patio umbrella. Add to your look by including a high stool with some vibrant pot plants. This will give your space a more outdoor feel.
