Meet the family behind your favorite home decor retailer

A Legacy of Quality & Community

Redefining home style since 1984

In 1984, after a journey from the sunny coasts of California to the heart of Alabama, a determined couple with a passion for fabrics opened their humble store in downtown Bessemer. Thanks to their dedication and hard work, what began as a small fabric shop became a beloved local staple.

As the years rolled on, their children stepped into the business with fresh ideas and boundless energy. In the following decades, the next generation took the helm, expanding United Textiles beyond its fabric roots. They introduced an array of home decor products, from elegant rugs and curtains to stylish furniture and lampshades. This transformation turned the once humble store into one of Alabama’s leading independent home decor retailers.

Today, United Textiles stands as a testament to the family’s unwavering commitment to quality, affordability, and personalized service. Each visit to the showroom reflects decades of family heritage, community ties, and a heartfelt promise to help every customer create a home they love.
