Add vibrancy to<br />
your outdoor<br />
furniture<br />
Striped canvas in basic colours was<br />
once the norm for outdoor furniture.<br />
Now, a myriad of patterns and colours are<br />
available from vibrant bold hues to muted<br />
tones, allowing you to carry the theme<br />
and colours indoors out to your deck or<br />
patio.<br />
Outdoor chairs, stools and loungers<br />
can all be given a lift, or selected pieces<br />
upholstered in floral, geometric or<br />
striped designs for contrast. Create your<br />
own look or up-date existing furniture.<br />
There are loads of colours and patterns<br />
as well as plain fabrics to choose from,<br />
all scientifically created to cope with the<br />
harsh effects of the sun.<br />
With these fabrics less affected by the<br />
sun and water resistant, you do not need<br />
to worry if your outdoor furniture is left<br />
out over summer, only needing to tuck<br />
them under cover as autumn and winter<br />
bring damper weather.<br />
Maxine at Classic Curtains & Interiors<br />
carries a range of outdoor fabric samples<br />
and has access to an even larger range so<br />
if you have a particular concept in mind<br />
or have seen a fabric you like then she can<br />
help you source it.<br />
Classic Curtains & Interiors also<br />
offer a re-upholstery service so if you<br />
have a favourite chair that you would<br />
like restored for the indoors or outside<br />
then this is an ideal place to visit. The<br />
woodwork can be fixed up, structural<br />
components sorted and the chair reupholstered<br />
(all at the same time) so it<br />
looks brand new again. They also supply<br />
new chairs from small to large whether it<br />
is an armchair, wing chair or dining chair,<br />
along with footstools, headboards and<br />
sofas; all able to be covered in your choice<br />
of fabric.<br />
Currently, Maxine has three new<br />
chairs in store; one with a storage<br />
box underneath making it ideal for a<br />
bedroom. With an outdoor fabric, this<br />
chair could also be used outdoors.<br />
The sun’s UV rays can also affect your<br />
furnishings<br />
indoors,<br />
especially in<br />
summer when the sun is<br />
stronger and up for longer<br />
– fading curtains, drapes<br />
and furniture. As home<br />
furnishings are a serious<br />
investment, they deserve<br />
protection. Voiles and<br />
sunscreen blinds are a great<br />
way to protect your curtains,<br />
carpet and furniture.<br />
Curtain fabrics will also<br />
have a longer life if they<br />
have a block-out or soft<br />
block lining. These protect<br />
curtains from the sun while<br />
also keeping the heat out<br />
in summer, and the heat in<br />
during cooler weather.<br />
