Accent Pieces Bring a Patio to Life

In any home, it's not necessarily the couches, televisions or other big ticket items that make it unique. It's the accent pieces that add the true personal touches. Patios are no different, and while a beautiful patio table along with patio chairs, patio cushions, umbrellas, or even fire pits in the yard can set the tone, accent pieces that add that little extra will set your patio apart. All-American Pool and Patio invites you to add the finishing touches to your patio. Play it right and it'll feel like an extra room in your home, only outdoors.

 

When it comes to creating a mood, nothing does it quite like lighting. Trust us when we say your standard porch light just doesn't cut it. Instead, look into the amazing pieces of outdoor lighting that double as aesthetically pleasing parts of your patio. The latest lines of floor lamps and table lamps rival any lamps you'll see indoors in terms of style and structure. Choose one that creates the look and feel you want, and illuminate your new outdoor rug in the process. No matter what type of patio flooring you have, an outdoor rug can be a beautiful accent piece to patio furniture and can create the feel of a true living space.

 

Of course a true living space deserves a place for an nice afternoon siesta, and a hammock fits the bill quite nicely. A hammock brings to mind a lazy summer day, and adds a nice touch to any patio. And if you've never slept in one, let's just say there's something to be said for the hammock-style siesta. And to take your entertaining to another level, add an outdoor bar or porch swing to the mix. Allow friends and family to relax and dine in comfort, and make your patio and backyard the place in your neighborhood for family fun.

 

Remember that outdoors as with indoors the big ticket items are important, but it's the accent pieces that make the difference. Discover those items, perhaps ones you've never previously considered, and personalize your patio as never before. In the short-term you'll make it more beautiful and versatile, and in the long-term you'll make it a gathering place for those closest to you.

Patio Cushions Q&A

Used bleach to wash mold out of patio cushions - cushions turned ORANGE...Why?

Used bleach and hot water in the wash cycle......couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the washing machine.....instead of turning white....which is usually what bleach does.....they turned ORANGE? Does anyone know why this would happen? Does mold and bleach react that way normally? And how do I get them white again?? Anyone have any suggestions??

were they white to start with ?

if they were the bleach probably reacted to the mold..if they werent..then theres your answer..bleach doesnt usually turn out well when other colours are involved..unless you use colour-safe bleach.

If they were white..you can try soaking them overnight in bleach or napisan.

you can also try soaking in vinegar or baking soda.

you can leave it for 4 hours soaking..but preferly overnight..the longer the better.

if they were not white, i dont know if you will be able to turn them back to the way they were.

I bought some fabric for outdoor furniture and it says dry clean only can I use it outdoors. it is waverly?

I want to use it to recover some cushions on patio furniture.

I would not, the cost of cleaning would be high and all the items would need to be removable. If you will be storing the cushions indoors when not in use then washable fabric will do, if you will be leaving them out the a PVC (Poly-vinyl-chloride) coated acrylic fabric would serve best as it resists fading and weather damage.
