As part of our Complete Porch Makeover series, we made lumbar pillows for both function and style. We brought in a new set of wicker patio chairs with pretty deep seats. We knew we wanted throw pillows on them to tie in some of the deep blue tones in the porch’s rug, so we decided to make lumbar pillows that would also add to the comfort of the chairs.
To make these pillows (and all the pillows on our porch) outdoor friendly, we used outdoor fabric and sewed them with polyester outdoor thread. For the lumbar pillows we chose a simple, solid blue fabric. At Sailrite®, we stock a wide variety of indoor/outdoor performance fabrics in every color and pattern to match your personal taste and style.
We wanted our pillows to fit perfectly on our chairs, so we also chose to make our own pillow forms, but you can always use a premade pillow form, too. Just type "pillow form" into the search box to peruse our selection of high-quality pillow forms.
