In hospitality design, every detail matters, from the way sunlight filters through a window to the tactile feel of fabrics in guest rooms. For decades, Decorator Industries (DI) has helped designers and hotel brands source fabrics that balance style, cost, and performance. But as the demand for affordable, design-forward textiles grew, the team at DI realized it was time to take things a step further: developing a proprietary fabric collection designed specifically for hospitality, launching this summer.
This collection, created in partnership with Thrive in Design and Design Pool, is more than a set of textiles; it’s a thoughtfully curated toolkit for designers seeking cohesion, flexibility, and elevated performance across hotels, senior living communities, boutique resorts, and casinos.
Understanding the Growing Demand for Hospitality-Focused Textiles
Designers today face unique challenges. Rooms, corridors, and common areas must feel part of a unified design narrative, while fabrics must withstand heavy use, frequent cleaning, and variable climates. At the same time, the expectation for accessible, design-forward textiles at a reasonable cost is higher than ever. Long-term guest satisfaction increasingly depends on tactile and visual comfort, from the softness of bedding to the way drapery filters natural light. Designers need materials that perform technically without compromising aesthetic quality.
Decorator Industries’ approach addressed these realities by partnering with expert fabric designers to develop a collection that meets operational requirements while supporting creative design intent.
Collaboration at the Core: Thrive in Design and Design Pool
Collaboration was critical in developing this collection. Thrive in Design and Design Pool brought deep expertise in color theory, pattern development, and material innovation. Together with DI, the team curated fabrics across coordinated colorways, ensuring that solids, textures, sheers, digitally printed patterns, and blackout fabrics work seamlessly together.
Solids & Textures: Form the foundation for layering, allowing designers to mix patterns and finishes without visual clutter.
Digitally Printed Patterns: Offer customizability for projects that require a unique signature or localized inspiration.
Blackout & Drapery Fabrics: Provide functionality while maintaining softness, residential aesthetics, and privacy control.
Bedding Fabrics: Combine performance with tactile appeal, supporting long-term guest comfort.
This level of collaboration ensures designers have the flexibility to create cohesive interiors, whether the project is a boutique hotel, a senior living community, or a casino resort.
Designing for Performance and Flexibility
Functionality was just as important as aesthetics. Fabrics were engineered for hospitality environments, addressing durability, ease of maintenance, light and privacy control, and customization. In senior living projects, the right textile choices support independence and comfort, while in casinos, fabrics must balance high energy with visual calm. Boutique hotels benefit from the ability to layer patterns and textures without overwhelming a room. Thoughtful fabrication, proper linings, and layered systems ensure that every textile performs beautifully while supporting the overall design narrative.
The new collection gives designers the flexibility to create interiors that are cohesive, intentional, and adaptable. Coordinated colorways across drapery, sheers, blackout fabrics, and bedding enable designers to create a consistent guest experience from room to room. By designing fabrics as a system rather than standalone products, Decorator Industries provides a foundation for interiors that feel layered, elevated, and timeless.
