Who We Are
Why settle for low quality ready-made window treatments and the limited furniture fabric choices Most design shops offer? At Calico, we think the greatest luxury is getting exactly what you want. Our mission is to enable self-expression by sharing our knowledge of design and fabric options to create great rooms together. And with free design services and fabrics at 20-60% off designer prices, decorating is an affordable luxury.
We are experts. Our in-store and in-home consultants are fabric and design specialists. Anything involving fabric – window treatments, upholstered furniture, custom bedding, pillows, cushions and more – is our specialty. We’ll help you coordinate fabrics, colors and texture, and suggest designer touches that make all the difference. And while we don’t sell paint and carpet, we have the knowledge to help with most every facet of your project.
We know how to discover your decorating style. Many interior designers have a style all their own – which may or may not be yours. Instead, we ask questions that reveal your tastes. We ask what you already have and want to keep. Then we utilize the largest retail fabric selection around to find the look that family and friends will say is all you.
We offer a superb selection. Calico has 10,000 fabrics, so your paint box isn’t limited. As one of the largest fabric buyers in the nation, we have special access to the top weaving mills and print houses – and the best prices too. We even have performance fabrics that work beautifully for both indoor and outdoor use.
We are budget conscious. We have a proud history of great values in fabric and custom labor. That’s why Calico’s extensive selection of luxurious fabrics is 20-60% off designer prices from to-the-trade showrooms. And why our design services are free*!
