25 Apr 2014 Outdoor Fabric Trends: Outdoor Fabric Decorating Trends for Spring, Summer and Beyond!

When prepping our outdoor spaces for spring and summer, we often focus on landscaping projects like flowerbeds and shrubs. But if you want to bring a real bloom to your property, don’t overlook the fine art of outdoor fabric decorating! Beautiful outdoor drapery, fabric canopies, and lushly upholstered patio furniture introduce colour, pattern and texture to your outdoor decor. Here are five fab ways to decorate with outdoor fabric.

	1. Reupholster the seat cushions of your outdoor furniture Why settle for standard-issue neutrals on your furniture, when it could flaunt eye-catching stripe, floral or graphic print outdoor upholstery fabric instead?
	2. Freshen up that porch set Enhance your home’s curb appeal by updating the furniture out front, too. Trad wicker looks amazing with a cool seaside print like coral, fish or other sea life.
	3. Order custom outdoor drapery Outdoor drapery for the deck, pool house, gazebo orpergolalends a high-end designer look, while providing whatever level of shade and/or privacy you prefer, from sheer to opaque.
	4. Create your own canopy Check online for instructions on DIY outdoor fabric canopies. They’re a chic way to add shade to your deck, hot tub, child’s sandbox or anywhere you want shade.
	5. Decorate with outdoor fabric indoors The stain- and fade-resistance of outdoor fabric makes it a natural for busy family homes, as well as sunrooms or any other sunny indoor space. It’s a stylish and sensible way to bring the outdoors in!
