Prepare for summer outdoor entertaining at the North Shore’s best kept secret—Loomcraft Textiles.
For more than 40 years, Loomcraft Textiles in Vernon Hills has been something of an insider secret along Chicago’s North Shore, a place designers rely on, and homeowners are delighted to discover. It’s the value-based resource you hear about once, and then return to for everything.
At first glance, it’s the breadth that draws you in. Thousands of fabrics from many of the country’s leading mills and design houses, spanning upholstery, drapery, prints, and performance. But what keeps people coming back is how seamlessly it all comes together. Instead of sourcing from multiple places and managing the moving parts yourself, Loomcraft offers a more streamlined way to bring your vision to life.
That ease becomes especially valuable heading into summer, when indoor-outdoor living takes center stage. Designers and homeowners alike turn to Loomcraft for high-performance fabrics that feel as considered as any indoor textile. Ideal for custom cushions, pillows, and seating that stand up to sun, moisture, and everyday use while maintaining a refined look.
Beyond the showroom floor, a trusted network handles upholstery, custom drapery, Roman shades, and made-to-order furnishings with both precision and efficiency. For designers, it’s a way to keep projects moving without added complexity. For homeowners, it means access to custom work without needing to navigate the process alone.
And then there’s the part that surprises almost everyone: the value. Loomcraft has built a reputation for offering competitive pricing across fabrics and custom work, making it possible to achieve a polished result without the markup often associated with more traditional retail and workroom channels.
It’s this combination, selection, efficiency, and value that sets Loomcraft apart. A resource that simplifies the process while elevating the end result, whether you’re designing for a client or simply creating a home you love.
Loomcraft Textiles is located at 645 Lakeview Parkway in Vernon Hills, 847-680-1119, [email protected].
