Take It Outside
Stylish outdoor fabrics breathe new life into fresh-air spaces.
 
Not too long ago, outdoor fabrics were a) scratchy; b) uninspired; and c) inappropriate for interior use. But we sent our editors in search of the coolest and most unusual outdoor fabrics and discovered a whole new world.

Today’s outdoor textiles are durable, water/mildew repellent, and fade resistant—qualities you’ll appreciate in coastal locations. Tell us which of our favorite finds you fall for at coastalliving.com.
