Start with the piece you want to refresh
A new fabric can completely change how a piece of furniture looks and feels.
The newest Sunbrella fabrics at Patio Lane Home bring fresh colors, patterns and textures to custom outdoor cushions, pillows, bench cushions, curtains and other made-to-order custom products.
Start with the piece you want to update most. Maybe that is a patio chair, bench, outdoor sofa or another piece that is crying for a makeover. If the frame still works for your space, replacement cushions for outdoor furniture can give it a new look without replacing the furniture itself.
Then think about the direction you want to take:
- Softer and more neutral
- More colorful
- More textural
- More pattern-driven
Picture the fabric as a finished custom product
Choosing fabric for a custom project is about more than liking the swatch. It is about imagining what that fabric could become.
A textured fabric might work beautifully across a custom bench cushion. A patterned fabric could add personality to custom seat cushions or a pillow. A solid fabric might be suitable for custom outdoor curtains that provide the canvas backdrop to help finish the space.
Custom fabrication gives you the ability to choose the fabric first and create the product around your furniture, measurements and design preferences.
Explore the fabrics behind the concept

Flora Sunset
Sunbrella Flora Sunset pairs an expressive floral pattern with a textured weave, bringing garden-inspired charm to custom cushions, pillows, and indoor or outdoor seating. In this concept, it works well for the seat and back cushions and could also be considered for other verified custom cushion applications.
Give existing furniture a new look
One of the biggest advantages of custom cushions for outdoor furniture is the ability to work with furniture you already own.
Custom cushions can be made for:
- Patio chairs
- Outdoor sofas and loveseats
- Benches
- Chaise lounges
- Deep seating
- Ottomans
- Gliders
- Swing beds
- Unusually sized furniture
Instead of trying to make a standard cushion fit, the finished product is built around the dimensions of your furniture.
In some cases, custom outdoor cushion covers may also be an option if the existing inserts are still in good condition.

Think beyond cushions
The main seating may be the starting point, but the same design direction can continue through other custom elements in the space.
Custom outdoor pillows can introduce an accent fabric without changing every cushion.
Custom bench cushions can create a made-to-fit solution for built-in seating, benches or other unique spaces.
Outdoor curtains can add softness, privacy and another layer of fabric to a patio, porch or covered outdoor area.
TIP: Always confirm that the selected fabric is appropriate for the intended application before finalizing the project.
Can I use Sunbrella for custom outdoor cushions?
Yes. Most Sunbrella upholstery fabrics are suitable for outdoor furniture cushions, pillows and other custom upholstery applications.
TIP: Individual Sunbrella fabrics should always be reviewed for construction when being used for curtains or another specialized application.
See the fabric before you begin
Before fabrication starts, compare Sunbrella fabric samples with your furniture, finishes and surrounding colors.
Seeing the actual fabric helps you evaluate color, pattern scale and texture before moving forward with your custom project.
TIP: Our curated Sunbrella Sample Packs can jumpstart your inspiration for a truly inspired look.
Start your custom project
A new Sunbrella fabric can become much more than a swatch.
It can become custom outdoor cushions, a custom bench cushion, coordinating outdoor pillows or custom outdoor curtains designed around your furniture and space.
