Colour & inspiration
Palettes for British light, stripes, grey rattan and our workshop.
Outdoor cushion colour ideas: seven palettes that work in British light
Grey skies flatten colour. Seven outdoor cushion palettes that still look good in a British garden, each with Sunbrella fabric names, the furniture they suit and the one accent that lifts them.
Three colour combinations for a south-facing terrace
Bright light flattens colours and shows every fade. Three cushion combinations that hold up in full sun on a south-facing terrace, and the fabrics that will not fade there.
Striped outdoor cushions: how to use stripes without the deckchair look

Grey rattan is in half the gardens in Britain, usually with grey cushions. Here is why that looks flat, which colours lift grey rattan, and three ready palettes with Sunbrella fabric names.
A day in our workshop: from roll of fabric to cushion
How we cut, sew and check every Sunbrella cushion: cutting from the roll per order, UV thread, the hidden zip, hollow-fibre filling in a water-permeable inner, and the two checks before it ships.
