Barbara Karpf

President Decorators Best

When interior designer-turned-entrepreneur Barbara H. Karpf launched DecoratorsBest in 2004, it was the first e-commerce company to offer “To The Trade Only” designer fabric and wallpaper directly to consumers. DecoratorsBest has become the online world leader in this space with a selection of nearly a quarter of a million designer products. Karpf founded DecoratorsBest upon the principle that everyone deserves both a beautiful home and great customer service. When DecoratorsBest was launched, other companies witnessed a paradigm shift and today, wholesale products in many industries are available to consumers.

Karpf works passionately as president and founder of DecoratorsBest to revolutionize the interior decor industry and has applied her robust knowledge to e-commerce – contributing to the success of the company with a holistic understanding of design and the dynamic needs of her luxury clientele.

Before founding DecoratorsBest, Karpf spent more than 20 years as an interior designer, working in New York City and the Hamptons. Karpf was named one of the "Great Designers of the World” and has been featured on The Today Show, CBS New York and many national publications. She has been a guest lecturer at The Architectural Digest Home Show in New York City.
