Outdoor Throws

A throw is an easy way to make garden seating feel more inviting when the sun goes down or the breeze picks up. Keep one folded over the arm of a garden sofa, place a couple in a basket beside the patio doors or take one along for picnics and days out. Check the product details before leaving it outside, as materials and care instructions vary across the range.

Colour can help tie the whole seating area together. Natural, stone and grey shades work well with wooden furniture and pale rattan, while sage, eucalyptus and khaki sit comfortably alongside garden planting. Pink, rust, yellow and orange bring warmth to plainer garden furniture, and darker blue, charcoal or black can give cream cushions a sharper contrast.

Patterns and textures add interest without needing to replace the rest of your outdoor accessories. A checked or geometric throw works well with plain garden cushions, while tassels, waffle weaves and stitched details add a softer, more relaxed finish. When mixing pieces, choose one stronger pattern and repeat one or two of its colours through your cushions or outdoor rug.
