Beat Weathering With the Best Outdoor Fabrics

We’re starting off this list with a solid choice that goes well with any style or theme you’re going for at home. This is a general-use fabric from Vogue that’s suited for just about any environment, hence you don’t need to do a lot of thinking with this piece. It’ll fit in any setup you have going on thanks to its simple colors and texture that keep it from looking dull and boring. The canvas-like texture gives off a refined feel to it, especially when combined with the ivory color.

Like most outdoor fabrics, this ivory fabric is waterproof. Vogue says this means you can leave it out in the rain whenever you want, and it’ll dry up all nice and clean afterward quickly. Of course, you’ll have to do something about the dirt buildup over time because of its bright profile, but other than that, it’s perfect for almost every household.

While most of the fabric on this list can be used in a variety of ways, this special fabric from FWD is great for use as a tablecloth. Tablecloths differ from most types of fabric, as they are made to keep the table that it covers safe from spills, drops, and scratches. Aside from this, they are also made to keep the plate and other Tupper and glassware in place, preventing them from slipping or falling to the ground below.

This special khaki tablecloth is designed specifically for outdoor use. So, you can leave it on your table for weeks on end without worrying about its cleanliness or condition, as it can handle the outside weather. It may look a little too simple to some people, but FWD says this also allows it to blend with other furniture as well.

While some fabrics are merely meant to cover a particular surface area or piece of furniture, others are made to serve as pieces of artwork by themselves. Such is the case with this Corinthian driftwood fabric from Bryant Industries, a beautiful outdoor fabric that may very well be wallpaper material for certain rooms. Bryant Industries claims to have made its special design reminiscent of traditional East Asian shapes and patterns that add a nice touch to your space.

As it does have a great design, it may end up not being the best type of fabric for your outdoor setup, as it may take away too much attention from other pieces of furniture in your outdoor space. 

Outdoor fabrics boast their durability and low maintenance, but not all fabrics carry the same level of durability. This fabric, however, boasts an incredible resistance to heat, making it ideal in areas with regularly hot temperatures. Despite being for outdoor use, some fabrics often end up losing color when exposed to the sun’s heat, but this polyester-based fabric from Tommy Bahama can handle hours of direct sunlight without showing any noticeable signs of wear and tear.

Tommy Bahama decorated this fabric with leaf-based designs, making them suitable for gardens, patios, and other areas close to nature. The whitish background of the fabric highlights any dirt and dust that lands on it, however, and should be cleaned when necessary.

There’s a reason many outdoor fabrics come in bright colors, with many of them often having some sort of white integrated into them. This is because bright colors do not absorb light as much as darker colors, which can make them easier to handle and use. As such, darker fabrics are reserved for fabrics meant to be used in the shade under a roof.

Among the darker fabrics, this Moroccan design from Mybecca stands out. It not only features a unique, patterned look but is also sufficiently water-resistant. This can make the fabric an ideal choice for a tablecloth. Mybecca says it’s also UV resistant so there is a low risk of fading, but expect it to be warm to the touch when it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Many people prefer sticking to designs that are more on the conventional side but still beautiful. However, you might want to spice things up a little in your outdoor space decor, and this Richloom fabric is a perfect way to do that. You don’t often see a fabric like this that has been lined with vibrant blue colors and vivid shapes. If done properly, adding this outdoor fabric to your space will instantly enhance its overall aesthetic. 

Due to the intricate level of detail in this design, this outdoor fabric may not be compatible with most outdoor themes as it can draw away attention from other pieces of decor such as centerpieces. But Richloom is certain that you will love it for your space. 

Not sure what color to get? The Ottertex Outdoor Fabric comes in many different colors, so you don’t have to worry about the color itself. Made of polyester, you can find a color that perfectly suits your outdoor setup. While it may be a little simplistic in design for some people, it’s great for people who just need some fabric, and care little for designs or patterns.

This fabric is made of 100% polyester material that is sufficiently weather-resistant, making it perfectly suitable for outdoor use. Also, Ottertex says it measures 60 inches in width and the length is cut to order, so you can get as much fabric as you need.
