URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Keeping pillows on outdoor furniture can be a challenge when the wind picks up. Here are effective strategies to secure them. First, use outdoor pillow clips or straps. These are specifically designed fasteners that connect your pillows directly to your furniture frames, preventing them from being dislodged by gusts. You can find these at most home and garden stores. Second, opt for pillows with ties. Many outdoor cushions come with built-in fabric ties that can be securely fastened around chair slats or arms. If your pillows don't have them, you can easily sew on some durable ribbon or cord. Third, consider the weight and fabric. Choosing pillows made from heavier materials, like those with a thick, weather-resistant outer fabric and a dense fill, can make them less likely to be lifted by the wind. Fourth, strategic placement and storage are key. When not using your outdoor space, or if you expect high winds, simply bring the pillows indoors or store them in a deck box. This not only prevents them from blowing away but also protects them from rain and sun damage, extending their lifespan. Finally, for a more permanent solution, you can use hook-and-loop fastener strips (like Velcro). Adhere one side to the furniture and the other to the pillow for a strong, yet removable, hold. By implementing these simple methods, you can enjoy a stylish and comfortable outdoor space without constantly chasing your cushions down the garden.
