Fabric sofa for garden-which brand is best

4 years ago

Hi. I am having my garden revamped and would like a fabric sofa set to go on the paved area. I am unsure which brand is best as I cannot find any reviews. I have looked at maze living (sunbrella fabric) and lg outdoor (Eden cushions), would anyone recommend these or any other brands? Ideally this will be left outside all year. Thanks

Fading and mould are the main problems with fabric outside ... if it were me - I’d invest in a hoseable rattan effect or solid plastic sofa and then bring a cushion and a fluffy throw out, as and when I use it.

Oh I don't think I have the energy to paint a large sofa and the fabric is silk and linen mix so quite nice even if its not quite to my taste. I have found some options at M&S http://www.marksandspencer.com/bantry-weave-cushion/p/p22284021?mfPartNumber=T476719B&carousel=FUNV_RR# so I think I will order the green colours and see how they look. And will try out my throw collection The Loaf cushions were the wrong size, I need 50x50cm. Have you a photo of your painted sofa minnie? Sounds intriguing...

Which colour Ikea sofa?

Why not open up to other options? Take a look at the Bemz website, that makes covers for all Ikea models, and has hundreds of fabrics to choose from. Making bespoke out if Ikea has got to be one of the best ideas ever!

Have a look a Moda Furnishings.

Most marine fabrics can be left out all year and pressure washed, yes they will mark as will anything, but as long as it is UV resistant it should not fade.

Some fabrics are waterproof as well and should not get mould.

If it does fade or go mouldy then it's not suitable for outdoor use.

Most rattan/plastic effect rattan coverings are designed to be taken in when not in use and not left outside to go mouldy.

hope this helps
