In 1973, Carleton V Fabrics was founded by Carleton B. Varney Jr. This company started out as a provider for Dorothy Draper and company, a firm that specialized in residential and commercial projects in the hotel industry which was also owned by Carleton B. Varney Jr. This company is best known for a style that uses vibrant textures, prints, and colors in a way that is extroverted and in very large scale. They also tend to combine wall coverings with this kind of draped look. Their product includes more traditional floral prints as well as more flamboyant and exotic looks to appeal to every taste. In Carleton V Fabrics there is a mentality that scale is just as important as color and texture and their product clearly reflects that. This philosophy conveys their product with a grand and majestic presence that many other manufacturers lack.
