I want to reupholster my outdoor sofa but I can't find suppliers of bright outdoor fabric. Any ideas?

Take a look at the indoor-outdoor range from American designer Trina Turk for fabric house Schumacher, available here through Orient House. The colours are dazzling; aqua, citrus green, hot pink and orange in designs that are borderline psychedelic. Local textile houses, Mokum and Warwick Fabrics have turned up the colour volume, too. Their latest offerings include chic stripes and fun patterns. Go with exotic prints for a glamorous Italian Riviera effect, or try stripes for a Bahamas look.
