Gone are the days when stiff sea shell cliches and awning stripes were the only readily available options for patterned indoor/outdoor fabric. With the increased emphasis on durability, particularly when it comes to living with kids and pets, we've witnessed the happy rise of fresh patterns making their way into the home, often for a sliver of the cost of normal indoor-only fabrics. Here are a few of our favorites...
Duralee's Tonga 329 Brownstone Fabric, available in brown (shown) or black.
Shoji Avocado Chocolate Fabric
Leopard Leaf Midnight, available in six colors.
Duralee's scroll patterned fabric
Nautica's Island Rattan Palm Green
Waverly's Sun N Shade Langtry in Indigo, also available in brown
Waverly's Chippendale Fretwork in Moss, also available in chocolate and onyx
Waverly's Lovely Lattice, also available in blue lagoon, chocolate brown, and onyx black
Any one of these fabrics would be a pleasing and versatile alternative to regular upholstery fabric. All are stain and water resistant, making them ideal for heavy traffic areas.

I just used Waverly's Lovely lattice on a couple of dining chair seats - the chairs are black with a lattice-like back and I love it!
sunbrella has a great line of indoor/outdoor fabrics also; many of them available at restoration hardware
These prints make my stuff look so 'unclever'.
Trina Turk just launched a fabric and the outdoor prints are gorgeous!
Great fabrics. Especially like 'Circle Fun' and Waverly's 'Lovely Lattice'
