I’m a fan of the Iria cover because its hard-wearing, water-resistant fabric and integrated air vents keep garden sofas and tables dry and mould-free without adding bulk. The neat, mid-grey hue works equally well with a crisp Scandi setup, a relaxed coastal terrace or a more eclectic, boho-influenced corner - it simply disappears into the background so your furniture styling takes centre stage.
For practical styling, make sure your cushions and throws are clean and completely dry before covering to prevent damp patches, and use the built-in ties to secure the cover in windy weather. If you’re styling a minimal metal frame sofa, add a pop of colour underneath so it peeks out just enough when you lift the cover for evening drinks. Store any loose accessories in a small, waterproof tub beside your sofa so everything’s ready to go once you strip the cover back.
