Our Story: The 135 Year History of Barnett Home Decor
Barnett was founded by W. O. Barnett, a harness-maker with a reputation for making high-quality cotton collar pads for draft animals.
Barnett's reputation for quality wins the contract to make mule collar pads for the US Army in WWI.
Barnett is called on to shift production to canvas pup tents for the US Armed Services in WWII.
The post-war years bring a boom in homeownership. Our innovative latex foam chair cushions are now our best selling products.
Working as VP under her father, Barbara introduces new patterns and forms relationships with major department stores and mail order catalogs.
Barbara inherits the company and takes over as President. She introduces designer fabrics selected with a woman's eye for home fashions.
Melissa develops the Barnett Home Decor brand, making Barnett chair cushions available direct to consumers though online sales at barnetthomedecor.com, Amazon, Etsy, and Houzz.
Barnett remains a women-led, family-owned company. Our cushions are sewn in Macon, Georgia, using ethically sourced materials. Better for your home, your family, and the planet.
