In the South, outdoor spaces are simply additional rooms of the house. We linger on porches and patios, as likely to host a cocktail party beneath the stars as in the living room. A welcoming climate and a deep-rooted culture of hospitality make sharing a meal in the garden not just a pleasure, but a Southern legacy. But as any good host will tell you, generic exterior furnishings do not a party make. Why should high design end at the back door?
With Sunbrella, outdoor spaces rise to the occasion. Known for performance fabrics that balance durability with refined design, the brand proves that practicality and beauty can—and should—coexist outdoors. Fade-resistant, weather-ready, and undeniably stylish, Sunbrella fabrics bring lasting comfort and design confidence to patios, porches, and garden living spaces.
“At Sunbrella, function and fashion are synonymous from the start,” says Greg Voorhis, executive director of global design Sunbrella. “We begin with how a fabric needs to live in its intended environment, standing up to sun, weather, and everyday use. We then layer in beauty through color, pattern, and texture. The best fabrics are the ones people choose for how they look and feel, and trust to effortlessly endure life outdoors.”
Rooted in rich color palettes, thoughtfully curated trend stories, and global influences, Sunbrella fabrics are designed to work together seamlessly for seasons to come. The expansive assortment—from soft solids and classic stripes to characterful jacquards—invites layered looks that feel intuitive, cohesive, and enduring, built to live beautifully for years to come.
Creating spaces that look authentic, not styled, is always the goal. “It’s the difference between something that looks good for a season and something people come back to year after year,” Voorhis says.
How you can trust that your Sunbrella fabrics are made to last is evidenced by the company’s sixty-five years of experience. What began in the 1960s as a solution to a single challenge—creating an awning canvas with a lifespan far longer than that of cotton—has since evolved into a diverse portfolio of innovative fabrics and technologies. Over the decades, the brand has expanded its outdoor fabric offering, creating performance-driven textiles engineered for enduring color, comfort and cleanability. But the goal has always been to meet customers where they are, in the elements enjoying the natural world, an experience Sunbrella believes should always be as comfortable as it is beautiful.
Some of the most memorable gatherings unfold not just inside the house, but just beyond it—with stories shared on the porch, laughter drifting across the lawn, the smell of salt air or the sound of cicadas filling the evening. With Sunbrella, those moments are supported by design that endures, fabrics that invite living, and colors that hold their own season after season. Because in the South, hospitality doesn’t stop at the threshold—and neither should good design.
