Summer Outdoor Entertaining

Outdoor settings have started to resemble our interiors over the past couple of years, which is why we have developed a versatile range of textured plain and patterned fabrics suitable for outdoor use, that emulate the soft textures and designs commonly seen in interiors.

Evolving colour trends have also meant that although there is always a desire for bold, summery colours, softer hues that draw from their natural surroundings have taken centre stage as people seek to create relaxing and serene outdoor settings.

Garden party furniture generally plays a part in an event or a season and is not really on display all year round. To get the best out of outdoor cushions, where possible store away from direct sunlight when not in use as this will prolong the life of your fabric. As autumn hits, it is good practice to wash the cushion set together removing all the dirt, dust and sunscreen before you put them into storage. This also gives you the opportunity to make sure your outdoor foam is dry and clean so when you next use your outdoor setting there are no nasty surprises (the eight leg variety or otherwise).

Splash Zone

With 85% of Australians living near the coast, people are spending more of their day-to-day in the outdoors – at the beach, on a boat or poolside. Warwick Fabrics has developed just the fabrics and vinyls to endure the inevitable wear-and-tear that comes with wet areas. Earlier this year we released a brand new collection of marine-grade, heavy commercial vinyls that boasts the addition of OnGuard stain resistance and HealthGuard antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. UV resistant to 650+ hours and bleach cleanable when necessary, Lustrell Admiral and Lustrell Commodore are the perfect vinyl to use in extreme outdoor areas. If you need a full waterproof barrier around your upholstery our Lustrell Marine collection features the capability to be heat sealed giving you complete piece of mind.
