Summer is coming! Are you ready?

It’s amazing what happens to your outdoor furniture over winter. Mould, grime, fading or showing its age are the most common ‘Spring surprises’ we hear from our customers. Whether you like to entertain outdoors or simply delight spending time outside, a pleasant outdoor area is a must. If you are looking for ideas to update your outdoor entertaining area, here are a few to get you started.

Outdoor sheer curtains 

There’s a romance about softly swaying sheer curtains hung where your living room meets your outdoor area or as external curtains on a balcony, patio or gazebo. They give privacy, stop glare without compromising the view and provide an enchanting invitation to draw your guests outside. Sheers also work well in very sunny rooms to cut the glare without losing the view.
 
If you are looking for a top-of-the-range outdoor sheer curtain fabric, we highly recommend Westbury Textiles. They are an international fabric house that sources its fabrics from some of the finest mills in the world.
 
Westbury sheer fabrics are washable and resistant to sun and UV damage. Many are stain-resistant and come with a ‘No Fade’ Warranty. They are available in a wide colour palette with some fabrics featuring an elegant textured finish.

Refresh your outdoor upholstery 

For long-wearing and affordable outdoor upholstery fabrics, you can’t go past Warrick Fabrics. They have a wide range of colours, patterns and plans that you can mix and match to truly personalise your outdoor space.
 
To assess whether your outdoor upholstery has faded, check under the piping. You may be shocked to see the difference in the colour.

Add some comfy cushions and bolsters

If flowing sheer curtains ooze romance, then outdoor cushions and bolsters say luxury and comfort. For an indulgent look, we recommend the outdoor range from Unique Fabrics. Their textured, linen-look range of outdoor fabrics are glorious and wonderful to touch. When used for cushions and bolsters, this range will add a touch of luxury and elegance to your outdoor setting.
