I've actually had pretty good luck with fabric paint outdoors, even without a covered porch. I painted some cushions last summer, and they held up surprisingly well through rain and sunβminimal fading so far. But honestly, if you're worried about permanence, have you thought about outdoor cushion covers instead? They're easy to swap out seasonally, and you can experiment with bolder patterns or colors without the commitment. Just a thought...

Totally agree with this. Covers are a lifesaverβespecially if you're indecisive like me and change your mind every other month, haha. But props on the fabric paint success! Last time I tried painting outdoor cushions, they looked great until my dog decided they were chew toys...lesson learned. Sounds like your porch refresh game is strong though, keep it up!
