New York’s First Green Workroom
Decorating with Fabric is extremely proud to announce its conversion to a Green Workroom. As a full service drapery and upholstery workroom in the New York Metro area, Decorating with Fabric has successfully employed sustainable supplies, products and practices into its workroom and installation business.

Thorough research has produced suitable and sustainable alternative supplies for the workroom. We have sourced: Organic Cotton Threads, Organic Cotton Linings, Natural Latex Rubber, and Organic Cotton Batting & Stuffing. Our Installers deliver products in Reusable Canvas Bags instead of disposable plastic bags.

We do not use Monofilament Thread, Adhesive Spray Glue, Polyurethane Foam, Dacron Polyester, and Plastic Bags. All of which contribute negatively to the environment.

As an alternative to the everyday choices of fabrics, we now offer a growing selection of sustainable and green products. Included are such items as: Sustainable Silks, Cradle to Cradle Fabrics, Recycled Polyester Fabrics, Organic Cotton Fabrics, Natural Pillow Fill, PVC Free Fabrics, and Fabrics Manufactured in an ISO 14001 Certified Facility.

Recycling concerns are addressed through a careful analysis of the workroom processes. All remnants and cutoffs are donated to local schools. Client’s old treatments (that are replaced with new treatments) will be donated or recycled. All polyurethane foam and waste from fabrication and installation is recycled within state laws.

Mission Statement:
Decorating with Fabric is dedicated toward the efforts of creating a living & working environment that is energy efficient, healthy and productive. We are also aware of our own footprint in the design, creation and installation of our treatments and strive to provide sustainable solutions that protect the environment.
