Outdoors is life! Outdoors is especially fun and enjoyable in summer. Patio and garden design services have seen an increase in demand over the last year. Quite a few of us will come out of the pandemic with outdoor decorating skills. The same is true with gardening.
“Gardening may be a rare positive trend to emerge from the crippling pandemic, said Diane Blazek, executive director of the U.S. industry group National Garden Bureau.”

Since our patios and gardens are where we spend most of our outdoor time it is important to surround ourselves with beautiful and quality textiles. This is where our ikat outdoor pillows are irreplaceable decor items.
Natural fibers: cotton and silk
Synthetics have a place in our world but would you want anything synthetic next to your body? Unless, of course, we are talking about a bathing suit. Let’s admit it – fibers matter. We consciously or unconsciously choose natural fabrics because we feel better and cozier with them. Our ikat outdoor pillows are made of cotton and silk blend ikat fabric. This is as natural as it gets.
Ikat patterns: quenching thirst for new cultures
When was the last time you discovered a new culture? Yeah, the same here. Even a big garden sometimes feels like 4 walls of a studio apartment. I dream of Greek islands, Florence or even Kyoto one day. That’s one day. For now I am looking for ways to quench my thirst for a new culture in different ways. For example, table decoration has become a new hobby. I have been learning about table runners, vintage glasses and ways of making a table look beautiful mainly from Italians. Greek influence comes with eco-ethnic touches. The same is true with home decor. This is where I have a suggestion for you – why not surround yourself with ikat outdoor pillows from Uzbekistan? They speak volumes of artisanal traditions and culture of the Silk Road. Why not admire the hand weaving that went into making them? Here is a link when you can shop for our ikat pillow covers. As always, should you have any questions we are just a message away.
