Outdoor Swing Cushions
Getting a really good set of outdoor swing cushions can dramatically improve the look and feel of your outdoor living space, making it all the more comfortable and enjoyable to be outside!
There are several designs available. The design that you should choose really depends on your personal tastes as well as the overall layout of your outdoor area, but here we offer some design tips if you need some ideas.
To keep things plain and simple, buy solid color outdoor swing cushions. You can use them to match the dominating color of your outdoor space or to create subtle color accents. You can find them practically in every color possible. The most popular, however, are red, orange, blue, forest green, lime, natural, and brown.
We love the high contrast look of brightly colored garden swing cushions against the backdrop of a wide open green lawn. It’s wonderfully eye catching. White cushions, although they require meticulous upkeep, are really good at creating this effect too.
These brighter colors can also look great when adjacent to the exterior of a home, on a porch swing, for example. But most customers tend to stick with darker, or more neutral colors when furnishing these areas.
Striped outdoor swing cushions are another popular choice. These can be used to create a number of different design effects, You can have a design that is really subtle and elegant, or a design with a colorful array that adds a lot of pizazz.
Notice how the cushions below do a superb job at blending in with their surroundings.
On the other hand, look at the colors pop on these cushions, yet somehow seem to go with the flow of the overall setting.
Floral swing cushions can be quite nice, always giving a hint of something rustic and rural, a main feature of country side themed homes. They are also especially popular with customers who live in tropical climates. Many of our readers like to switch to these during Spring and Summer to match the warmer, sunnier setting.
Prices for outdoor swing cushions will vary, and depend on things such as the size, style, and the where you are buying them from. However, you can expect to pay around $35 – $50 for a typical sized models, which measure 18 x 45 x 2, and 18 x 55 x 3 inches.
There are certain features that you should look for to ensure that you are getting high quality cushions that will hold up to outdoor environments. For example, you’ll want to make sure that the cushions which you purchase are made of a synthetic material such as polyester. These fabrics tend to resist the elements better because they are inherently more durable than natural fabrics such as cotton. Furthermore, they retain less moisture, which makes them more resistant to damaging agents such as mold and mildew. They are also much easier to clean so there is significantly less upkeep required for them. To prevent sun damage, it’s a good idea to purchase swing cushion sets that are UV resistant as well. Lastly, we highly recommend cushions that have fabric ties so you can secure them to your swing better. Some of our readers have told us that they have woken up in the morning to find their cushions on the other end of their property, as if something had dragged them across the yard. On especially windy days, these swing cushions have been known to fly off. But you also want to have these fabric ties so you don’t have to worry about propping them back up every couple minutes. That way, you can actually enjoy the beauty of the outdoors!
