Furnishing the textiles industry

Furniture stores are increasingly looking to become total home furnishings destinations.

As these efforts broaden, they are moving more into the home textiles world-including bed coverings, throws, decorative pillows and table linens-as well as home accessories, area rugs, wallcoverings and custom window and bed coverings.

For City Furniture, Robb & Stucky, Breuners Home Furnishings Corp. and Gabbert's, home textiles is viewed as a definite growth area-but in a manner definitely different from the mainstream home textiles retailing community.
