Value Fabrics


Congratulations to Helen Turkington (pictured above) who has just opened a second shop in Ranelagh (Dublin, Ireland), this one devoted to a selection of 200 value fabrics selling for 40 per cent less than similar quality, designer branded products.

The range starts at €10 per metre, and the rolls of fabric are displayed beside paint samples to help you concoct a pleasing colour scheme. “A relatively small amount of money can revitalise any home,” she says, “by recovering old pieces of furniture or changing the curtains.” Upholstery and curtain-making services are available through her interior design consultancy, or you can simply buy the fabric and do-it-yourself. The selection includes linens, silks, brushed lambswool paisleys and floral damasks. You’ll find Helen Turkington Fabrics at Terminus Mills, Clonskeagh Road, Dublin 14. Open Monday-Saturday.
