5 Summer Patio Furniture Accessory Must Haves

Outdoor spaces are fun to design and decorate, especially if you enjoy being whimsical and daring when choosing your accessories.

Unlike inside, where you typically follow a specific motif throughout your house, your outdoor living space allows your imagination to soar. Summer is the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone and let the colours pop.

Whether you’re new at designing and decorating an outdoor space or a seasonal professional, these five summer patio furniture accessories will enhance your deck, patio, or balcony, making it an inviting place to spend the warm summer months.

Accessory #1: Waterproof Outdoor Cushions

Compared to cheap alternatives, cushions made from acrylic canvas are resistant to water, mildew, and rotting. Waterproof outdoor cushions are generally longer-lasting and retain higher quality over time. They’re also very versatile, giving you greater freedom and control over where you place them in your outdoor space.

For example, you can place them on pool loungers in the morning and then use them to complete your outdoor dining table ensemble in the evening. Waterproof cushions easily withstand splashes and dry quickly. They’re also fade-proof, meaning you can leave cushions made from acrylic canvas outside without worrying about loss of vibrancy or quality.

Outdoor cushions are fun to shop for. Aside from comfort, you can choose size, colour, design, material, shape, print, and pattern. No matter your style or preferred decor, the options are as endless as your imagination.

Accent your patio chairs or outdoor living space with these Outdoor Waterproof Cushions in a Watercolour Butterfly Print. The delicate print is durable and eye-catching, with its vibrant, full-of-life colours capturing a beautiful display of dragonflies and butterflies. A coating of polyurethane makes them waterproof and ideal for any outdoor setting. They’re super easy to clean with a concealed zipper that allows for easy on and off.

Accessory #2: Outdoor Mats

There are three primary reasons for using outdoor mats:

  • To protect against surface damage
  • As a safety measure to prevent slips and falls
  • To add stylish elements to your outdoor oasis

When shopping for the best outdoor mats, there are some crucial factors to consider.

  • Breathability: If the material doesn’t allow sufficient airflow, you’ll likely face a mildew problem.
  • Durability: Your outdoor mat should be durable enough to withstand high-traffic and different weather conditions.
  • Care and cleaning: Consider how much work it will take to keep your mat clean. Some materials require a simple pressure wash, while others need professional cleaning.

When they’re extremely durable against rain, stains, UV rays, and constant foot traffic, outdoor mats complement your home decor with their trendy feel and welcoming appearance while protecting against surface damage and preventing accidents.

This Rubber Pin Mat has an elegant wave design and is perfect for any outdoor living or commercial space. Easy clean up with warm soapy water, the rubber pins are like magic to your feet, offering an acupressure massaging effect.
