    My patio set is from Martha Stewart’s collection. We purchased it about six years ago. Still in very good condition. It is a light distressed look green. The pillows that where with it are olive green on one side ; and green and white stripe on the other side. What other colors can I use with it; to make it look more to up to date with the latest colors that are out today.. You all carry such pretty colors.. Can you help me?? Oh, my house is gray. I sure would appreciate any of your options …

    help please. i love the colors in the spa inspired fabric selection. i was planning to use the seneca fabric as a cornice and the rug you show in a family room that runs into my kitchen. my kitchen (small galley) backsplash is painted in a lavender color with light gray cabinets. will this color palette clash with the grays & greens that i’ve tried using as accent colors?

    I like the blue/rust combo for my porch but the Suzanne Kasler rug is out of my budget…is there another one you recommend to go with those fabrics?

    I have off white chaise lounge cushions and am looking to buy pillows and umbrellas to add color. I love the Aruba turquoise and delay azure fabrics for pillows! What umbrella fabric would you suggest? I’m thinking Nantucket stripe blue but am wondering if that would be too busy…?

      Kay: An umbrella in Blue Nantucket Stripe is a fantastic choice! Consider the white background of the Blue Nantucket Stripe next to your off-white cushions … it could make your cushions appear dingy. Another fabulous alternative is an umbrella in Azure … you could still have lots of fun with color and pattern in your pillows!! Style Studio Team

    Hi! I love the “going green” palette, but I have a question about the “catana floral chocolate”. I think your diagram shows ” catana floral lavender” which, unfortunately for me, is a discontinued fabric. They are both nice but I do like purple! I there any chance the lavender is coming back or is still available? Thanks for confirming style team!

    I have a “Royal Teak” patio set with the manufacturer calling the cushion fabric Sunbrella “bronze”; however, I’m thinking it must be the “brass” Sunbrella fabric. What color scheme of throw pillows do you recommend? Thanks!

    I love your color combinations. I know what I like when I see it but I don’t always know how to get there. I usually copy what someone shows me. Thanks for all the ideas!

    I am planning to purchase the black and sand striped cushions for my chaise lounges. Would the same fabric on an umbrella be too much? Should I go with solid black? I am concerned about solid black fading.

    Thanks!

      We think the Canopy Stripe Fabric or the Arden Black are great choices for your umbrella.

      I am planning on making window treatments with Arden Blue for my valance but can not decide if I should go with Seneca Stripe or Solid Sand for the window covering. Would the 2 different kinds of fabric (one Sunbrella and one not ) work well together? Also, this would be for a boat-do you think it would be necessary to line the fabric? The window coverings would be grommet style curtains. Thanks for your input.
