Luxe for Less - Imperial Trellis Fabric

Last year I fell in love with Kelly Wearstler's Imperial Trellis designs.  You know you're a design nut or need some excitement in your life when you can fall in love with a home decor fabric.  But I just couldn't help it until I saw the price of the fabric.....my poor little heart was broken instantly. sigh  While I still heart the design I couldn't justify paying that amount of money for fabric.



So I started looking for a comparable fabric that would give me the same effect and of course Google had the answer (isn't he great, my kids think I'm crazy for thinking the search engine is a person, but come on he knows everything).  Tonic Living located in Canada has comparable imperial trellis fabric called garden trellis and for less than $10 a yard.  It isn't exactly the same but it's darn close. Isn't that a bargain?

    I agree! Very addictive! I have it all over my blog too. Infact, my goal was to find a very similar pattern at a much lower cost and I found some amazing fabric almost identical pattern for less than $25/yard! I might end up selling some of it soon, so check my blog occassionally. www.loft32.blogspot.com

    Aren't the throw pillows in your living room made from the orignal Imperial Trellis? I know they aren't the Garden Trellis as the scale on that fabric is much smaller and I can see the print is not what you used.
    Would love to know.

    thanks!

    Hi Lynn, Thanks for stopping by my blog, actually the pillows are from ZGallerie. The pattern looks exactly like the original.
