A lounge set is the perfect place to relax in the garden or on the terrace. But when you're not sitting outside, where do you keep the cushions? You'll want to protect them against rain, dirt and discolouration, so they last longer. In this blog we'll give you clever storage ideas to keep your cushions in top condition!
How do you store the garden cushions from your lounge set?
There are various ways to store your garden cushions neatly. The best option depends on the space you have and how often you use the cushions.
- Storage indoors: Do you have a garage, shed or storage room with enough space? Then this is an ideal place to keep your cushions dry and clean. Make sure the room is well ventilated so that moisture and mould don't develop.
- Storage outdoors: Not everyone has extra storage space indoors. Fortunately, there are also outdoor solutions to keep your cushions safe and dry.

Handy outdoor storage solutions
If you want to store your cushions outdoors, there are various ways to protect them:
- Storage boxes
One of the most popular solutions is a special storage box. These boxes are often waterproof and offer protection against rain, dirt and pests. Preferably choose a plastic or aluminium storage box with ventilation openings, so that moisture isn't trapped. - Storage bags
Do you have less space? Then storage bags are a handy and compact solution. These sturdy bags protect your garden cushions against dust and dirt. Make sure you place them in a dry location, for example under a canopy or in the shed. - Protective covers for the entire lounge set
Want to make it extra easy for yourself? Then choose a cover that you pull over the entire lounge set , including cushions. This protects not only the cushions, but also the furniture itself against the elements. Do make sure that water doesn't pool on the cover, as standing water can seep through the seams over time.
Extra tips to keep your garden cushions looking good
In addition to proper storage, it's important to maintain your cushions well:
- Store dry: Always store cushions dry to prevent mould and bad smells.
- Clean regularly: Remove dirt and stains with a mild cleaning product and a soft brush.
- Protect against the sun: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause discolouration, so store cushions when they won't be used for longer periods.
