Merchant of the Month | Tenement Museum

A native New Yorker by way of Staten Island and Brooklyn, Sheila Marks began in the decorating business by selling just wallpaper from a counter on Grand Street. Today, Sheila's Decorating offers top designers the right solutions for all their residential design needs. Every project is completed with the utmost attention to detail.

Just like the Tenement Museum, Sheila's Decorating is 'not just wallpaper' and has been about design since 1974. An emporium of custom furniture- from uniquely crafted tables, lamps, chairs, headboards, beds, sofas, and ottomans to custom built-in cabinets, bookcases, and wall units, Sheila's Decorating has it all at one convenient location. Designers can have items custom made to fit their client's special needs and commercial work and personal shopping is always welcome.

Owner Sheila Marks stocks her 5,000 square foot retail and wholesale store with the highest quality American and European fabrics, wall-coverings, and furnishings. Frequent buying trips assure the latest styles and many of the pieces and patterns are one-of-a-kind and can only be found here on Orchard Street. The store will gladly ship these items to anywhere in the world or deliver to your home in New York City.

Some of the wallpaper in the Museum's apartments is made for us by Scalamandre, and purchase of those patterns can be arranged at Sheila's Decorating. Visit Sheila's when the urge to decorate strike- particularly after being inspired to beautify your home like one of the families of 97 Orchard Street.
