MEET THE OWNER

We’d like to introduce you to Steve Abrams - owner and founder of Designer Wallcoverings. Steve was born into the wallcovering industry and prides himself in continuing his family legacy. Steve grew up around the design business – his father was CFO for Sinclair Paints, a well known local wallpaper and paint chain. Steve visited the factory often as a child and in 1988, when he was in high school his father bought Enterprise Wallcoverings. By 1994, after college, Steve and his parents opened a 1200 sq.ft. luxury showroom at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood called Jeffrey Stevens.

  In 2001, they expanded the showroom to 6,000 sq.ft. and proudly serviced the interior design community offering wallpaper, fabric, lighting, and outdoor furniture products as a multi-line showroom.  After the recession began, the Jeffrey Stevens showroom at the PDC was closed forever. The family wallcovering and fabric showroom experience is something Steve always intended to bring back. In 2007, Steve went on his own to start Designer Wallcoverings and Fabrics, it’s 2023, 16 years later, and Designer Wallcoverings is thriving with over 80,000 current customers! DW is a uniquely L.A. company in the way in which it balances the future and the past. The offerings are deeply connected to this city’s heritage, particularly the iconic Beverly Hills Banana Leaf wallcovering.  

 At the same time, DW has spent more than 20 years on the cutting-edge of technology to deliver these heritage products, including purchasing hundreds of vintage wallpaper catalogs from every decade. Designer Wallcoverings is proud to have a small, local staff that works on projects all over the globe. We take care of our customers, we take care of our staff, and we take care of our community. We’ve been doing it for years now, and we are proud of the legacy and experience we’ve created. Designer Wallcoverings is a “double bottom-line” company: we’re in this, not just for profit, but for our community. We don’t just donate a percentage of what we make to charity, we make sure that everyone on staff has the time and space to focus on their needs and their community.  We love Los Angeles, and we love giving back to it – and the world beyond.

DW is the leading resource for the architecture and interior design trade. 

Representing over 100 brands and mills worldwide, we are your professional one-stop resource. If you don't see it on our website, we will make it for you.
