KEEPING your garden furniture looking stylish all summer long is easier said than done.
It’s a special pain when your beloved outdoor sofa starts showing signs of wear in July, with summer hosting still a month (or more) away.
Faded cushion covers, stains from the last barbecue, and general wear and tear can leave your once-gorgeous furniture looking tired.
However, a simple and economical solution is within our reach.
And, surprisingly, it is available on Shein.
Green-fingered Brits took to Facebook to scream about the Chinese retailer’s outdoor sofa covers.
It comes after social media user Lucie Crook went to Gardening with an official budget group looking for advice on bringing a worn-out wicker sofa to life.
“I received some patio furniture that I want to give new life to,” she wrote.
“I’m looking for advice on an inexpensive option to separate the cushions.”
The white cushions on her new set were covered in dark marks that even the strongest wash cycle couldn’t get rid of.
The Brits were quick to let Lucie know that Shein’s outdoor sofa cushion covers were the perfect solution.
“Shein sells capes,” reported Emma Harry Dearlove.
“They are cheap and fabulous.”
“Go ahead, Shein and buy the replacement covers,” echoed Kathleen Murphy Howard.
“They are amazing.”
Outdoor cushion covers for a range of furniture sizes and shapes cost from £3 at Shein.
For a full set of cushions on a large outdoor sofa, a good quality set will cost anywhere between £40 and £60.
The Outsunny Garden Wicker Sofa Polyester Cover Replacement Outdoor Set has received rave reviews.
It comes with six seat covers, six large back covers and two small back covers for £59.99.
