Litre Ivory Indoor/Outdoor Accent Pillow

The knife-edge design provides a clean, crisp perimeter where the front and back fabrics meet at a simple seam, reflecting a transitional style that fits both modern and traditional decor. The hidden zipper is a premium functional feature; it allows for the easy removal of the polyester fill before washing and ensures the hardware stays out of sight and protected from the elements, preventing snagging on clothing or patio furniture.

A 20-inch square pillow is a versatile "standard" size that works exceptionally well in various settings. On a small apartment balcony, a single 20-inch pillow creates a substantial, comfortable backrest for a bistro chair or a compact loveseat, providing a high-end, finished look without overcrowding the space. For larger patio sectionals, these pillows are the ideal scale to serve as "anchor" pieces at the corners of the seating arrangement.

This accent pillow is engineered for durability using a woven polyester duck fabrication for the face and back. The decorative medallion features a blend of machine-applied embroidery and hand-knotted accents made from PET yarns (recycled polyethylene terephthalate). These synthetic fibers are inherently resistant to moisture and wear, making them an excellent choice for maintaining texture and artistry in an outdoor environment.

While this pillow is specifically designed for indoor/outdoor use, all textiles experience some degree of UV exposure over time. To maintain the fresh "monochromatic ivory to gray" palette, we suggest placing these pillows in areas that receive filtered sunlight, such as under a pergola, awning, or cantilever umbrella. If your patio is fully uncovered and subjected to intense, direct sun—common in southern or desert climates—storing the pillows when not in use will significantly extend the life of the dyes and the PET embroidery yarns.

Yes, unlike many decorative outdoor items that are limited to spot cleaning, this pillow is designed for easy maintenance. Based on the manufacturer’s specifications, you should machine wash the cover separately in cold water on a gentle cycle. To preserve the integrity of the hand-knotted accents and embroidery, it is critical to remove the pillow promptly after washing and allow it to air dry; do not tumble dry. A light iron can be used if needed to crisp up the poly-duck fabric.

Polyester is naturally hydrophobic, meaning it resists absorbing water and dries much faster than natural fibers like cotton. This makes the pillow well-suited for humid regions or coastal areas where moisture is a constant factor. The hidden zipper closure also protects the internal polyester fill. To prevent mildew growth in extremely damp environments, we recommend allowing the pillow to dry completely after heavy rainfall and storing it in a dry, covered area during the off-season.
