This past year has solidified our love for any and all outdoor spaces, whether it’s a sprawling backyard, a fenced-off patio, or a balcony for one. Making good use of your fresh-air retreat starts with giving your outdoor furniture the same attention your inside pieces receive.
When selecting items for outside, it goes without saying that weather-resistant fabrics are imperative. Between Mother Nature’s unpredictable patterns, mold, mildew, stains, and the sun’s harsh UV rays, opting for a performance fabric that is made to last is key. Though shopping for material that’s worth the investment and will also look good underneath your string lights could feel overwhelming, Sunbrella offers options that champion design as much as durability. The brand has endless product assurances—stain resistance, incredibly easy to clean (just blot with water and soap and go)—guarantees against loss of color and strength; and, most important, makes comfort a priority. Plus its fabrics come in an array of colors, patterns, and textures inspired by cultivated trend stories and global influences.
Bring on the alfresco lounging and entertaining: Here are Team Domino’s top six upholstery fabric picks ready to be enjoyed ASAP—and for seasons to come.
The One That Grabs Your Attention
Take your love of fun prints outside with this bold design. If adding only a splash of color to your outdoor furniture is more your speed, choose this woven fabric to upholster smaller details such as throw pillows.
The Epitome of Retro Riviera
Bring that Positano vacation home with big, bold stripes reminiscent of a luxury seaside escape. We recommend giving your backyard the true resort treatment by creating your own cabanas (and matching umbrellas) with this woven upholstery.
The Super-Subtle (But Still Good-Looking) Option
For those who prefer a clean, all-white look, lean into uniformity by outfitting your outdoor furniture in this simple but still plush fabric.
The One as Versatile as Your Favorite Pair of Jeans
Selecting denim for your outdoor furniture—actually all furniture in general—is severely underrated. Create a matching pair of deep indigo armchairs for your balcony setup.
The Cool, Colorful Take on Stripes
Lounge chairs can be the perfect Instagram backdrop, especially when covered in this colorful striped print.
The Classic Beverly Hills Hotel Pattern—Remixed
Want to add a little tropical flavor without the typical bright green palm print? This subtle leaf design achieves the best of both worlds.
