“Keep an eye out for vibrant colors like pastel blues, greens, and pinks—they really capture that fresh, seasonal vibe,” Low explains. Adding pretty, floral cushions to your patio is an easy way to do that. Low especially likes these throw pillow covers that have a mix of the colorful trifecta mentioned above, complete with flowers, leaves, and even birds. The side zippers allow you to slip them over your existing cushions, and they can be tossed in the wash when dirty.
