Decorating an outdoor area used to be limited to a handful of choices that were nondescript and lacking in design. Now you can create an entire outdoor seating area to fit your personality with bursts of color and pattern. Like daring florals with pops of yellow, lime green and turquoise? Or are you more of a rich earth toned flavor, with robust browns, reds, golds and greens? Outdoor fabrics know no boundaries, often being confused for their interior counterparts.

When you browse the immense selection of outdoor fabrics at Hickory Furniture Mart, you will find that the feel of the textiles has come a long way as well. In the past, fabrics had a stiffer feel, and would look too artificial. The new technologies being used in acrylic fibers have made a softer, pliable feel that takes the fade resistant dyes in a more colorful fashion. These fibers have also made outdoor fabrics more mildew and fade resistant, making their care easier.
The outdoor furniture stores of the Mart show many inspiring ways to combine the colorful patterns for the best ways to decorate your back yard. Laying stripes, florals, geometrics and other trendy patterns can be just as fun as decorating the inside of your home, so the same thought process needs to apply. Your outdoor room is an extension of the inside of your home, so it is still important for the overall look to flow.
It is also crucial to consider the flow of the outdoor fabrics with the surrounding landscape. Colors and patterns should complement the plantings as well. Stop by the North Carolina Furniture Showrooms to see what all the fuss is about in outdoor fabrics.
