Versatile and high performance outdoor fabrics make every season an ideal time for various outdoor decorating projects. An outdoor color palette typically changes with each season, spotlighting hues that are inspired by the season itself.
For autumn, the deeper reds, oranges, and yellows, and even browns found in outdoor fabrics, reflect natures transition from summer into fall. This change in seasons provides great opportunities for using a change of color on the patio and on the porch. And many outdoor fabrics possess the useful versatility of being both an indoor and outdoor fabric, so as temperatures drop the outdoor accent pillows can be enjoyed indoors.
To set the mood for the fall season, we’ve chosen a rich array of traditional designs in warm hues, coupled with muted greens, and blues, too. These greens and blues, and the darker yellows help to keep things bright, when contrasted with the darker reds, and the browns. We’ve also included beach inspired designs that use autumn hues that complement the season.
With so many patterns, colors, and textures available in the world of fabrics, compiling a sample list of outdoor fabrics is not an easy task, but it is a fun task! We hope you will be inspired to continue exploring the variety of outdoor fabrics available out there, to enhance your enjoyment of your outdoor living at home all year long.
