Outdoor textiles: the new elegance for summer
Textile editors are redefining outdoor design with collections that blend aesthetics, innovation, and high technical performance, created to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort or style.
The outdoors is a natural extension of the home, and textiles become one of its key protagonists. Terraces, gardens, and pool areas are decorated with fabrics that combine aesthetics, innovation, and high technical performance, designed to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort or style.

In this regard, the latest trends in outdoor textiles focus on versatile and sophisticated fabrics, suitable for upholstery, cushions, mats, and curtains, capable of integrating seamlessly into both outdoor spaces and transitional areas between indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, these new collections benefit from resistance to UV rays, ensuring high light fastness and allowing colours and textures to remain intact even after prolonged exposure to the sun. In addition, their high resistance to salt water and chlorine makes them an ideal option for terraces, gardens, and pool areas.
Natural aesthetics and high technical performance
In terms of design, current proposals reflect a clear inspiration from nature. Mineral tones, sandy hues, raw shades, and bright whites dominate, combined with botanical greens, deep blues, and warm terracotta that evoke Mediterranean landscapes and relaxed atmospheres. Meanwhile, accents in more intense colours — such as mustard, coral, or petrol blue — add character and dynamism to outdoor spaces.
This rich colour palette is complemented by prints featuring organic motifs, soft geometries, and reinterpreted stripes, as well as designs inspired by natural fibres and traditional craftsmanship. Designed for a contemporary and practical lifestyle, the latest generation of outdoor textiles is also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring a prolonged lifespan without losing aesthetic or functional qualities. The result is a proposition that combines design, durability, and comfort, positioning textiles as a key element in contemporary outdoor decoration.
All these trends will be showcased in the Editores Textiles sector, which will have a prominent presence at the upcoming Intergift from 4 to 7 February 2026.
