About Us

"Your customer service is extraordinary!"
-Shiela C. Cold Brook, N. Y.

Several years ago my husband gave me a laptop for my birthday. I would have preferred jewelry, but politely smiled. When surfing the web I noticed a real niche to fill - "To the Trade Only" designer fabric and wallpaper was unrepresented online. It was up to me to bring this industry into the 21st Century - thus DecoratorsBest was born.

Today our e-commerce site is the largest in its category in the world. Carrying over 200,000 first-quality designer fabrics, wallpaper and pillows from top manufacturers including Scalamandre, Robert Allen, Pierre Frey, Fabricut, Duralee and many more, DecoratorsBest stands at the forefront of the industry. DecoratorsBest is proud to make custom drapery, headboards, roman shades, in-home reupholstering, as well as run a fully functioning Design Room filled with thousands of samples for our clients to view when they are in New York City. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best customer service and the best prices.
