Go ahead—choose the white sofa. It’s possible thanks to today’s indoor/outdoor fabrics, such as Sunbrella or the Sun 'N Shade Collection by Waverly Fabrics. “These new fabrics are almost indistinguishable from regular textiles, yet they hold up like cast iron,” says New-York based interior designer, Roderick Shade. “You can even take them outside and hose them off with soap and water!” Finally, it’s possible to have a great looking interior, even if you have kids and pets.
