About Us

The Company

Exclusively to the Design Trade

Founded in 1992 by Marc and Nancy Douglass in their home in Dunwoody, Georgia, Douglass Workroom was built on a simple belief: that true craftsmanship, carried out with care and integrity, never goes out of style. What began as a small operation has grown into a nationally respected workroom serving top interior designers with custom drapery, furniture, upholstery, and softgoods of the highest caliber.

Now a multigenerational business, Douglass Workroom continues to uphold its founding values—precision, collaboration, and a deep respect for the design process. Our team includes over 35 highly skilled artisans, from master upholsterers and seamstresses to carpenters and finishers. Together, we bring decades of experience and a shared pride in our work to every project that comes through our doors.

Whether we’re building an heirloom-quality sofa from scratch, tailoring drapery for a perfect view, or creating a single pillow to anchor a room, we treat every detail as an opportunity to deliver something exceptional. At Douglass Workroom, we believe the best work isn’t just beautiful—it’s beautifully made.
