Kris and Julie Hagenbuch created Wall Designers in April 1988. We started the business in our house and quickly filled up our downstairs with samples. Our customers would have to walk down a tight small spiral staircase to see our carpet, tile and window coverings. From there we moved to Whistler Road and Skyview Terrace in a building originally designed to be a convenience store. In late afternoons in December it was darn near impossible to choose colors because the light was so low. We moved to our bright present location on Highway 40 in November 1997. We have tile vignettes that stimulate ideas. View the light coming through the blinds on our exterior windows and explore products for every part of your home.

We have continued to be up to date on the newest products and trends. We have been accumulating treasures for sometime and have quite a cross section of choices.
