Interior Fabrics

Great customer service!
We visited Interior Fabrics to look for fabric for an upholstery job on our large living room sofa. They have a nice selection of fabrics. The store groups the fabric by color, which is handy when you have an idea in mind, and shows sample upholstered furniture for better visualization of «what can be.»
The store guy was very helpful and approachable, and he gave us a quick lesson on best sofa fabrics for people with pets. He gave us other tips, such as what fabrics look good on channeled sofa backs, proper care and maintenance of our investment, and even great ideas for economical ordering. He effectively handled the many customers in the store without making us feel rushed or overlooked.
Well managed and professional.

Excellent selection of fabrics for your interiors! Nice, helpful staff. We were looking for fabric for a little boy’s room; it’s not
that kind of store. If I were making stuff for the living room, however, I’d come here first.

They weren’t exactly what I was looking for (I was looking for more of a clothing fabric place) but nonetheless they still had exactly what I was looking for and were extremely helpful and kind to me even though I came in relatively close to closing time. Thanks so much guys! I totally recommend this place — keep in mind it’s best if you’re looking for fabrics for curtains, chairs, couches, etc rather than clothing or the like.

This is the place to go when you’re looking to make curtains, buy pillow forms, or reupholster a piece of furniture affordably because they have a large selection of reasonably priced options. While the inventory skews toward solid fabrics more than prints, you can find quite a few Etsy/​Pinterest-​style choices if you do a little digging.
As far as the customer service goes, it’s excellent once you get their attention. I think they are a bit understaffed, so the folks on the floor are racing around and do not always welcome you. However, they are sweet as can be and super-​helpful once you speak with them. I worked with three different staff members who patiently cut me swatch after swatch, searched high and low for a particular fabric that I saw on their website, and told me to take all the time I needed even though the store was about to close.
I ended up selecting a special-​order fabric which arrived to my doorstep quickly and in perfect condition. It was also about 30% cheaper than I could find it anywhere else online or in a brick-​and-​mortar shop. I’m an Interior Fabrics convert!

I’m all about fabric and interior decorating, and I wish I could love this place (great fabric at a discount: what’s not to love?) but I swear, their customer service is awful. I don’t like going into a place and being ignored. Happens almost every time. One of the most unfriendly stores I’ve ever shopped in. I have bought fabric and window hardware here before and have had a few good experiences, but the times when they act like it’s a pain in the ass to cut me a swatch, or they’re doing me a favor to wait on me, make me think I’d rather do business elsewhere. There are other fabric stores in town.

I had the strangest experience here the other day. Let me start out by saying this place is fantastic. I’m a crafty type, and they have wonderful fabrics for upholstery, outdoor fabrics, stuff for curtains and pillow forms. I’ve shopped here maybe 10 times and always found something unique and high-​quality.
On to the strangeness. I guess in all my previous visits, I never selected something that is custom-​order only, which is astonishing, because over half the store is order-​only. How is that possible? Anyway, if you want something right away, you have to look for the beige tags; the blue tags have to be shipped, which takes 5 – 7 days. I get the logic, but it’s kind of a bummer when you want to start on a project right away.
Definitely worth a visit, but be prepared to wait for your order.

Welcome to Fabric Wonderland!!! Incredible selection all at great prices. You can order at the store, over the phone, or online. Special order fabrics are shipped directly to you in 3 – 5 business days. I will definitely be back for my next project.

Very helpful staff! I walked in there looking for a product that the store was out of, and they were able to track down another location that had what I was looking for. They ordered it and shipped it out for free! Really great establishment!

I really like the selection of fabric they have here. The fabric is very good quality and it’s easy to find patterns that aren’t too crazy and excessive. The employees are fun to chat with and are very helpful in giving you the precise measurements you would need.

My favorite stop in town for home decorator fabrics at affordable prices. Great selection on (cheap) pillow forms, tons of great trim and I love the selection of drapery hardware. Nice staff and they will follow you around cutting all kinds of samples for you. Sales only happen a couple of times a year, get what you want when you see it. Inventory moves pretty fast.

Hello… the best place in Austin for fabrics. Trust me, I know, no… seriously I do! I get to shop all of the «to the trade only» places and this place beats them all hands down… well, for quality and price that it!
I love that the staff and for the most part been there like FOR-​EV-​ER! They know it all… need a tip or design idea, ask Mary! The Manager is super nice hardworking guy! Rest of the staff very savvy on their products!
TIP: If you find the fabric of your dreams but not the color way. just ask! They have a huge warehouse in Dallas and a website with all of their fabrics on it.
No go forth and get inspired!

Great selection of fabrics at great prices. I often buy my pillow fillers here because the prices can’t be beat regardless of whether they are feather or poly. my only suggestion is to go up a size or even two when using the feather pillow inserts for a more full pillow.
The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The only warning is— Buy what you want when you see it. Often, the fabrics are not always reordered.

5++++ stars, if I could.
I absolutely love this place. They have a wonderful selection for interior design fabrics. Their prices are good ($ 7.99 — 14.99/yd) on most fabrics. Silks and special imports are, of course, higher.
Okay, so they have good prices and a great selection. The customer service is what pushed me up to 5 stars for this review. I went in several times over the past week trying to make up my mind for a project. Yesterday, when I went in to purchase the materials, I had some general questions. Mary (I think that’s her name) was an absolute angel. She spent so much time with me brainstorming my project and discussing suggestions. She even asked that I come back with pictures. In this day & time, I rarely experience that kind of customer service.

The manager of the store, whom I called out in my original review, wrote to extend a sincere apology. Truthfully, I had noticed a kinder-​gentler side of him over the past few months and had forgotten to note it here.
I have also been meaning to write up Interior Fabrics’ new website. It’s very clean and streamlined, and what I find particularly helpful is all of the info on their custom furniture. (

There’s something frumpy about looking at fabric swatches online… not a problem with this site particularly, just online fabric resources in general. I highly recommend visiting the store in person so you can get a better sense for color and texture.

A great place to get fabrics and trim. The selection is substantial. They will cut any number of samples for you to take home. Find a scissor wielding employee wearing an apron or ask for my favorite, Mary. She is fantastic and can help pull colors anda textures together beautifully. I recommend looking at fabrics under all lighting possibilities before you make a purchase.
Prices are comparable to other fabric stores and currently they are having a huge sale. Bolts of fabrics and trim are marked down with significant savings. I believe the sale happens only twice a year.
The staff is friendly and helpful although most of the time they seem a little understaffed. Ask for Mary, she is a whiz with colors and fabic choices. Robin C. mentioned, the owner can be a sourpuss. Or is he simply above being courteous? Just ignore him.
