{"title":"Plaid Outdoor Pillows","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePlaid outdoor pillows\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaid is the oldest pattern language in outdoor textiles, and the one that reads clearest from a distance: a grid of woven lines that the eye resolves as a single colour block from across a yard, then breaks back into stripes when you sit down next to it. Buffalo check, tartan and gingham are all variations on the same idea at different scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll printed into 100% spun polyester on both sides.

A large buffalo check is a statement piece and wants plain cushions either side of it. A fine gingham behaves almost like a solid colour and layers under anything. The one combination to avoid is two plaids of similar scale next to each other, which reads as a mistake rather than a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between plaid, buffalo check and gingham?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuffalo check is large squares in two colours. Gingham is the same idea at a much smaller scale, usually with white. Plaid is the broader family, and usually has bands of several widths crossing each other rather than an even grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes plaid only suit autumn?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Warm plaids in rust and brown lean autumnal, but blue, green and black-and-white checks read as year-round, and gingham in particular is a summer pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I mix plaid with a floral?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is one of the more reliable pairings, as long as they share a colour and differ clearly in scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rustic-plaid-brown-outdoor-lumbar-pillow","title":"Rustic Plaid Brown Outdoor Lumbar Pillow","description":"\u003cp\u003eA brushed tartan in warm brown, deep forest green and cream, drawn from old wool camp blankets.
