Our Story

For nearly 60 years, we have been creating the finest custom home décor. Our journey began in 1968 as Decor Designs, a family-run wholesale business catering to designers on Barker Hill Road in Jamesville, NY. For the following four years, we focused on serving the local designer community, both large and small.

In 1972, we placed our first advertisement, a newspaper ad, offering discounted fabrics from a manufacturing company that was going out of business. The ad was so successful that we were able to open the Fabric Mill retail store, which still sells cut fabrics and window treatments to this day.

Over the next three decades, we continued this model and expanded our offerings to include custom window treatments for both residential and commercial customers. By 1997, our sales had outgrown our Barker Hill warehouse, so we moved to a newer, larger facility in Jamesville, NY. After a flood over the 2022 Christmas weekend, we joined the workroom at our current location in Syracuse, NY.

In 2008, we acquired another fabric company, Recovery Caboose, located in Pittsford, NY. After ten years of operations, we moved the Recovery Caboose to our current Rochester, NY location in Penfield, NY and rebranded as Decor Fabrics & Design.

That is the story of a one-man operation in Jamesville, NY that started in 1968 and has grown to include over 20 employees across two locations, serving customers from Rochester to Albany.
