If you buy something for nature, especially for seating, this is a must if you consider how it keeps in bad weather. Kuo, founder of her namesake design company, says: “Search for frame from materials such as teaks, powder-coated aluminum, blacksmiths, concrete and resin-coated pastures rattan.” For pillows and upholstery you opt for performance fabrics that neither mold or mildew. “Sunbrella Performance Fabric is the gold standard for durability and weather resistance,” she adds. Some brands, including Serena & Lily, offer their outdoor pieces exclusively in Sunbrella substances because, as Kuo said, the best of the best is. That means it is not cheap, but since it is so durable, it pays itself practically for itself. If the department for your dreams outdoors is not padded in Sunbrella and you are not on the market to keep you up to cushion, don't worry. Simply buy pieces that are marketed as outdoor-specific. Otherwise, when they get wet, the water seeps through the fabric and in the pillow filling, causing mold, mildew and even putrefaction.
“Olefin is a unique textile that searches for a sensation in large ways – as a woven ropes and straps that are connected to back and arm for an artistic, almost sculptural sofa,” says Meadows. “The striking rainbow and the woven pattern of the woven rope are the ultimate way of designing something unique without affecting the durability.” In addition, the cool material is actually known for its excellent properties of UV, dyeing and mold. “Another advantage: resistance to the chlorine and bleach, so that you can worry less about the colors that fade when it is soaked by a cannonball into the pool,” added Meadows.
