If your customers are seeking to elevate their living space and have an interest in the Nancy Myers aesthetic, we have many classy, timeless, and effortlessly chic fabrics for you to choose from. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in classic romantic comedies, and Nancy Myers' movies have been at the forefront. She began writing and producing films alongside her husband, Charles Shyer, since the early 80s. It was not until 1991, when Father of the Bride was filmed, that her signature style officially debuted. In this movie, the film was set inside a Californian home which included warm accents, small pops of color, with a touch of elegance in every detail.

At Trivantage we support your projects with warm whites, beige, taupe, patterns, stripes, coastal blues, and linen fabrics to create a perfect mesh of all things Nancy Myers inspired. Whether you are already familiar or new to this aesthetic, here is an overview of a distinct, recognizable style that many of our fabrics already feature.

Soft Neutrals

First, the Nancy Myers aesthetic relies on warm whites, beige, taupe, and soft grays as a base foundation to pair well with many different things. These soft neutrals work well for upholstery projects requiring durability and comfort.

• Canvas Natural / Canvas White
• Canvas Flax / Canvas Taupe
• Canvas Vellum
• Bliss Linen / Bliss Sand / Bliss Smoke
• Mainstreet Dove / Mainstreet Putty
• Cast Ash / Cast Shale / Cast Silver

Alongside these, here are some linen-look and textured neutrals to add subtle depth within an interior space.

• Direction Linen

All Things Stripes

Stripes can be used to introduce coastal elements without overwhelming a space’s existing aesthetic.

• Cabana Classic
• Cabana Regatta
• Brannon Whisper
• Direction Dew
• Refresh Spa
• Unwind Sky / Wayward Sky
• Gateway Mist

Coastal Blues & Neutrals

If you are still searching for something coastal but not necessarily stripes, here are more plain, neutral options that add a subtle contrast:

• Spectrum Indigo / Spectrum Dove
• Canvas Air Blue
• Cast Lagoon / Cast Sage
• Echo Ashe / Exhale Cloud / Exhale Driftwood
• Nuance Eggshell / Nuance Dove

Whether it’s watching twins bring their parents back together, a story about falling in love with someone unexpected, or something entirely too complicated... Nancy Myer’s films have always been some of my personal favorite movies. Her style continues to influence the tastes of many generations, including my own, and remains a timeless classic customers are sure to ask about for years to come.

At Trivantage, we get a front-row seat to the industry's best work through the photos and videos you tag us in every week.

As we hit peak outdoor upgrade season, we wanted to step back and shine a spotlight on some of the incredible, real-world projects created by our talented customer network. Here is a look at how makers and fabricators are transforming everyday spaces using premium materials and serious skill.

Specialty Awning - St. Louis, MO

Specialty Awning crafted a beautiful backyard inspiration project by installing a custom canopy made with premium Sunbrella fabric. The design delivers both functional shade and comfort, transforming the outdoor area into an inviting and stylish retreat.

Blinn & Young Inc. - Costa Mesa, CA

Blinn & Young Inc. gave this patio set a stylish, high-performance refresh just in time for warmer weather. Using Sunbrella upholstery fabrics, the project breathed new life into the outdoor furniture, delivering a look that is both durable and good as new.

Manning Marine Upholstery & Canvas - Stumpy Point, NC

Manning Marine Upholstery & Canvas delivered a masterful upgrade by revitalizing a 27' Triton boat enclosure using the original frames. They completely elevated the build with durable, brand-new Strataglass, fresh hardware, and functional smile openings designed to withstand the elements.

Silk Marine Canvas - Outer Banks, NC

By mid-summer, patio furniture, poolside lounges, and boat biminis have taken a beating from sunscreen, pollen, sudden downpours, and humid heat. For custom makers, fabricators, and design professionals, this is the peak time to help clients protect their investments and ensure their high-performance installations outlast the summer grind.

Read on to understand how different threats attack outdoor setups and why having the right maintenance strategy makes all the difference.

The Hidden Threat: Organic Debris vs. Mildew

A common misconception is that mold and mildew grow directly on performance fibers. In reality, high-quality textiles like Sunbrella® are inherently resistant to mold and mildew growth. The real culprit is the invisible film of summer debris that settles on top of the fabric.

Tree pollen, dust, bird droppings, and oily sunscreens create a microscopic nutrient layer. When you add high summer humidity or a sudden downpour to that mix, you create a perfect greenhouse environment for spores to thrive. To protect your investment, regular cleaning is essential to strip away that food source before stubborn stains can take hold.

Spotlighting A Solution: Sunbrella Renew™

Unlike generic household cleaners that can strip away performance coatings or damage fabric construction, Sunbrella Renew Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is a targeted restorer.

The Sunbrella Renew bottle features a specialized, dual-action nozzle designed for versatile cleaning. Use the wide spray setting to efficiently cover large, flat surfaces like chaise lounge cushions or boat covers. For vertical surfaces, such as zipper tape or tight awning seams, the targeted foam setting clings directly to stains, giving the formula more time to lift discoloration without running off.

For independent upholstery and canvas workrooms, the mid-summer slump is a perfect touchpoint for your business. Reaching out to your customer base with maintenance reminders or offering a specialized mid-season detailing service is an excellent way to drive shop traffic and reinforce your role as an industry expert.

As any experienced fabricator knows, a boat is only as good as the environment it lives in.

Because saltwater and freshwater attack textiles in completely different ways, choosing the right fabric isn't just about picking a color - it's about engineering for the local waters.

See how the elements stack up and the Trivantage marine offerings built to survive them.

Saltwater Environment Wear Factors

Saltwater environments are notoriously aggressive, mounting a two-pronged attack on marine canvas via abrasive crystallization and magnified sun exposure.

When saltwater sprays onto a cover and evaporates, it leaves behind sharp, jagged salt crystals embedded deep within the fabric's weave. As the boat moves or catches the wind, these microscopic crystals act like sandpaper, chafing the fibers from the inside out and degrading standard fabrics.

The ocean acts as a massive mirror, intensifying UV exposure through surface reflection. The combination of baking heat and salt crust rapidly strips low-grade fabrics of their color and structural integrity.

Freshwater Environment Wear Factors

Freshwater might lack the corrosive bite of salt, but it presents a completely different, silent enemy: stagnant moisture and organic growth.

Inland lakes, rivers, and reservoirs often feature higher humidity, lower wind speeds, and warmer nights than coastal regions. When a boat is buttoned up after a weekend on the lake, this trapped moisture creates a humid greenhouse, which is the ultimate breeding ground for mold and mildew.

Freshwater lakes are teeming with organic life. Pollen, lake mist, algae, and insect debris frequently settle onto boat covers. If a fabric traps moisture beneath it, these organic particles act as a food source, accelerating mildew growth directly on the canvas surface.

Trivantage Solutions

Having a reliable mix of textiles, threads, and hardware on hand makes it much easier to tailor your builds to any specific water conditions your customers are dealing with. Trivantage delivers the complete, end-to-end solutions your workshop demands, including:

• Sunbrella^® Marine Fabric: Sunbrella marine fabric’s fluorocarbon finish resists salt buildup, while its solution-dyed acrylic fibers ensure that the deep and rich colors won’t bleach out under the blazing sun.


• Aqualon^® Edge Marine Fabric: Engineered with Perfecta Marine technology, Aqualon Edge provides elite water resistance while drastically reducing heat and moisture buildup underneath the cover. It keeps the boat cool and dry, actively starving mildew of the humidity it needs to grow.


• Hydrofend^® Cover Fabric: Hydrofend solution-dyed polyester cover fabric gives you up to six times better water resistance than uncoated fabrics. The marine fabric is engineered for superior hydro resistance, lasting color, and durability.


• GORE^® TENARA^® Sewing Thread: 100% PTFE thread that is immune to both ocean salt degradation and freshwater mildew rot.


• YKK^® Zippers: Molded plastic zippers that won't corrode in heavy lake humidity or bind up from ocean salt crust.
