A well-styled outdoor space doesn't happen by accident. It comes from a few considered decisions — the right combination of pattern, colour, and scale — that make a setting feel pulled together rather than assembled one piece at a time. Cushions are the most immediate and affordable way to make those decisions visible.
The Mojo range, available at Bunnings, offers a broad palette of patterns and colourways designed to work within the way Australians actually style their outdoor areas. Here's how to use them well.
Start with a Colour Anchor
Before you pick a pattern, identify the fixed colours in your outdoor space — your furniture, your flooring, your fence or cladding. These are your anchors. Cushions should respond to them, not fight them.
Charcoal, grey, and natural timber tones sit naturally with almost any cushion colourway. Against these neutrals, the Mojo Marrakesh range in blue and white or terracotta delivers confident pattern without overwhelming the setting. The Cabana Stripe in navy or green works equally well, adding rhythm and structure to a lounge setting without pulling attention away from the architecture.
If your furniture is already a statement piece — a brightly coloured sun lounger or a wicker setting in warm honey tones — opt for quieter cushion colourways that complement rather than compete.
Mixing Patterns with Confidence
Pattern mixing is one of the most effective techniques in outdoor styling, and one that's easier than it looks when you follow a simple rule: vary the scale, keep the palette consistent.
Pair a large-scale geometric like the Mojo Marrakesh with a smaller repeat like the Cabana Stripe in a shared colourway, and the two patterns will feel considered rather than chaotic. Add a solid-colour cushion in a tone pulled from within both prints — a deep navy, a warm terracotta — and the combination becomes something genuinely designed rather than accidental.
The Mojo Leaf and Botanical ranges offer a more organic counterpoint to geometric patterns. Mixing one or two botanical-print covers into a setting anchored by stripes or Moroccan geometry adds the sense of nature and softness that makes an outdoor space feel alive rather than just furnished.
Colour Pairings That Work
Some combinations that consistently work well with the Mojo palette:
• Navy and white — clean, classic, enduringly Australian. Works especially well in coastal or poolside settings.
• Terracotta and olive — warm, earthy, and very much of the moment. Grounds a setting in natural tones without feeling heavy.
• Charcoal and blue-grey — cool, minimal, contemporary. Suits a modern rendered or concrete outdoor setting beautifully.
• Green and natural — botanical and relaxed. Works well in garden settings or spaces with significant planting nearby.
Scale and Layering
Outdoor cushions work in multiples. A single cushion on a two-seater lounge looks forgotten. Four to six cushions across the same setting — varying in size, with a mix of patterned and solid — looks considered and inviting.
Use the 45cm Mojo covers for standard scatter cushion styling and the larger 60cm format on the floor, at the base of a setting, or draped across a wider bench or daybed. The Mojo outdoor floor cushion range adds a low, casual layer that invites you to actually use the space rather than just look at it.
Seasonal Refreshes
One of the great advantages of buying Mojo cushion covers separately from inserts is the ability to refresh your outdoor space seasonally without replacing everything. Shift from a summer palette of blue, white, and green to warmer terracotta and olive tones as autumn arrives. The inserts stay; only the covers change. It's a small investment in a noticeably different feeling space.
