When you see fabrics made for outdoor use, your instinct is probably to use them… well, outdoors. But here’s a design tip from Insidesign: use outdoor fabrics like those from Sunbrella for interior upholstery.
Why? Well, indoor/outdoor fabric has not only been pretreated, but it’s also extremely durable. We think it’s great to use indoor/outdoor fabric for protection against dogs, kids and food stains.
Its durability—and all the cute colors and prints available—also make it perfect for a lake or beach house. Worried about not finding a style you love? There are some really stylish indoor/outdoor fabrics available. These fun, colorful options are from sample books we have at Insidesign in Atlanta.
