What is the best fabric for outdoor cushions?
The Scion Outdoor cushions are made from solution dyed polyester with a polyester filling. Therefore they have a high UV stability rating and are super easy to clean as they are water & dirt repellent.
How do I clean my outdoor rug?
We would suggest vacuuming your rug to remove any dust and then spot cleaning with water and a mild detergent. The backing of the rug may soften when it is wet – that’s no problem just flip your rug over to air or sun dry the backing to avoid any mildew developing.
How can I look after my outdoor rug?
We would recommend putting your outdoor rug away during bad weather and in the winter months to ensure the rug doesn’t get damaged by the wind and rain. Although our rugs are hardy prolonged dampness can cause mould to develop. The backing of the rug may soften when it is wet –just flip your rug over to air or sun dry the backing to dry out – this will avoid and mildew developing.

How can you style a balcony?
Ooh balcony’s can be tricky but we love a challenge! I would say the top priority would be little changes to make a big impact in a small space. I would start with some colourful herb pots and matching cushions to bring a little joy!
What are your top tips for creating a nice space outside?
The first step is to try not to be overwhelmed and feel like you have to be Charlie Dimmock!! Small changes can make a big difference, try painting up some old outdoor garden furniture in bright colours and adding some low-maintenance plants – our outdoor rugs are a great way to quickly add a splash of personality to any space!
If you had to pick one for your garden which one would you go for?
Ottil is my absolute fave – I love the multi-colours and the large-scale geo – the perfect addition to spruce up my garden for a BBQ!
What's the best way to bring some colour to my garden? I don't know where to start!
Absolutely start with some of our outdoor textiles, rugs and cushions are perfect to add a splash of colour without having to do too much gardening! I always go back to painting up some old outdoor garden furniture in bright colours (Facebook marketplace and gumtree have some bargains!) to give your garden a makeover.
