outdoor throw pillow fabric
The right outdoor throw pillow fabric turns a plain patio chair or porch swing into an inviting spot you'll actually want to sit in. Unlike indoor décor fabrics, outdoor materials are made to stand up to sun, humidity, and the occasional surprise shower, so your pillows keep their color and shape season after season.
What to Look For in Outdoor Pillow Fabric
Weather and Fade Resistance
Look for fade resistant outdoor fabric, such as solution dyed acrylic or polyester, where color is built into the fibers rather than printed on the surface. Water resistant and mildew resistant finishes help pillows dry quickly after rain or morning dew.
Comfort and Feel
Today's outdoor upholstery fabric comes in soft canvas, woven textures, and smooth prints that feel nearly as cozy as indoor textiles. Choose a medium weight that sews easily into knife-edge, boxed, or bolster pillows.
Style Ideas for Your Space
