One way to personalize your outdoor space is by adding some patio chair cushions to your furniture.  These can be made from almost any color or design of fabric and can really set the tone for the décor on your patio.  You can choose from bright and sunny yellows, oranges and reds, or cool blue or green tones.  You can go with a contemporary style or a more traditional feel.  Everything from country cottage to beachy getaway can be portrayed just by the fabric you choose for the cushions.
