As a decorator I have access to all of the to the trade fabric showrooms. It’s always fun to go into a showroom and be able to play around with the fabrics you saw in a magazine or new to you pieces that you know won’t be found at a local craft/fabric shop. As fun as it is, to the trade, doesn’t always mean that a decorator/designer gets the fabric at a super low price. So, I’m always on the hunt for designer fabric at amazing prices.
One source that I was recently reminded of is the Robert Allen Outlet that is currently running a sale with an extra 20% off until Feb 10th. While Robert Allen is a to the trade showroom it looks like anyone can purchase fabric from the outlet as a guest.
While is a lot of what some would call ugly fabric there are some hidden gems if you have a little time to go through all of the options.
5.Akihto originally $100, on sale $25.
6.Cougar orignally $92, on sale $23.
7.Narrow Canal originally $112, on sale $28.
8. Bornholm originally $76, on sale $19.
All of the fabrics in the outlet are discontinued so if you see something you want and they have the yardage you need available don’t hesitate to order it all. On each product page there is also a section that lets you know the available yardage. Sometimes there might just be enough for a toss pillow, but other times there is a large amount of yardage available.
A close out store here in Florida sells remnants of for the trade only fabrics and usually has a selection of Robert Allen fabric. It’s great to see what gems can be uncovered.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
