Maybe a few moorish fabric cushions will help though. Nice fabric find! I am totally in love with a pottery barn moorish rug but sadly cant get it here in Aus.

And I love your pouf! I keep buying them because I love them so much! My kids love them too- it's the perfect place to sit! I cannot wait to see what you do with the chairs! And I love your pouf!

I have made cushions for my back verandah which gets all the elements, & though I have only had them for 6months, they have lasted quite well. And they wiped up quite well after the dust storm we had too. They are really easy to sew with, I just use upholstery thread which is easy to get. I would highly recommend to either using pinking shears or zigzag the edges as the fabric frays really badly. I'm even thinking of getting some more fabric to cover canvas for wall art. The pattern you chose would work really well with the chairs, & I think you will be more than happy with the fabric. Good luck & can't wait to see the results.

It is so pale it might as well be white. I bought it for the family/play room as we had a formal room for the main furniture. It then became the sofa for the studio..We moved to a smaller house and it was the only sofa we could fit in.. and now it is back to being the studio sofa. It has washable covers. I have washed them twice? and not because there marked etc but because i wanted them fresh and clean. ie when they came back in the studio for this house etc. I don't get how people have dirty sofas? I don't understand how they get marked and stained? (i know lots are so it certainly happens but i dont understand HOW it happens). You eat, you get cleaned up.. you go play. You play outside.. I clean you. You play inside. LOL I would cover something in white if I wanted it white. So no.. no hiding stains and scothguard (but i hear it is good). The brown is pretty cool tho too. If you think it will be ruined.. go that. If you want something white you can keep white.. make slip covers you can wash? I have a super pale latte coloured sofa.
