Then, Now, and Next: Honoring Tradition, Inspiring the Future of Home & Patio

2025 marks our 140th anniversary as a family-owned company, and for us, this isn’t just a number. It’s the families who opened their homes to us, the neighbors who became our friends, and the generations who helped shape who we are.

At Fowler Brothers Co., this milestone is our moment to say thank you. You’re the reason our history matters, and the reason the furniture we offer and the service we provide continue to find their place in the spaces you call home.

Honoring 140 Years of Legacy

From our beginnings in 1885, selling furniture door to door, to navigating decades of change in how people shop and live, one thing has always stayed the same: our commitment to our core values. We’ve always believed in helping people create homes they love, have access to quality furniture built to last and passed down through generations, and to be cherished for its irreplaceable character.

We’ve seen parents become grandparents, kids become homeowners, and long-time customers bring their own families in to shop with us. Being part of people’s lives for this long is something we never take lightly.

On Thursday, November 13, we celebrated our 140th anniversary with longtime friends, loyal customers, family, and our entire Fowler Brothers team. During the evening, guests shared stories that stretched across generations. They spoke about the pieces they brought home years ago, how those furnishings are still loved and used today, and how they have become part of the moments that matter most in their lives.

Hearing how our work has touched families and become woven into their memories meant more than we can ever express. It reminded us of the heart behind everything we do.

To us, furniture is never just furniture. It is the backdrop of life, and being part of your story is the greatest honor we could ask for.

Evolving With the Times: Tradition Meets Innovation

Celebrating with family, friends and long-time customers and feeling the love they’ve shared with us inspires us to keep growing, to keep improving, and to continue offering the very best products and services as times change.

Today, we blend the craftsmanship we’ve always believed in with the modern features families want. Sustainable materials, custom pieces, performance fabrics, and furniture designed for real life. When you walk through our showroom, you’ll see that mix of comfort and innovation in every corner.

We also continue to partner with brands homeowners trust, such as Stickley, Summer Classics, Polywood, Lexington Home Brands and many others known for long-lasting quality. These relationships help us bring you furniture that looks good, feels good, and stands up to everyday living.

One of the proudest achievements in our recent story is being named the 2025 Apollo Award Winner, a recognition that highlights leadership and excellence in the furniture industry. For us, it’s a reminder that staying true to our values while embracing new ideas is the right path forward.

Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter for Fowler Brothers Co.

So what comes next?

Entering this next chapter of Fowler Brothers, the energy from our 140th celebration is encouraging us to evolve, elevate, and continue offering the quality and service our customers deserve. Our vision for expansion is constant, whether it’s by introducing more high-end brands to our collections or creating more inviting spaces for you to shop. We are excited for the future and deeply proud of the legacy we are building together.

Our dedication extends beyond our doors and into the heart of Chattanooga. We are continuing our commitment to the community, whether by hosting events, partnerships with neighborhood organizations, or simply ensuring that our store remains a welcoming place for everyone. Our deep roots in this city will always be at the core of everything we do.

Keep it Cozy with Outdoor Rugs: Style, Comfort & Durability for Your Patio

Let’s bring to the table (or floor) a small detail that makes a big difference in your outdoor space: the outdoor rug. If your patio feels incomplete or just a little flat, you’re not alone. Many people overlook rugs outside, but once you add one, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

At Fowler Brothers Co., Home & Patio, we’ve helped Chattanooga families turn backyards, porches, and patios into finished outdoor areas. And outdoor rugs are one of the easiest ways to pull a space together, add comfort, and protect your surfaces.

If you’re thinking about how to improve your patio, this article will help.

An outdoor rug is made from materials that hold up in weather, sun, rain, dirt, and daily use. These aren’t just indoor rugs moved outside. They’re made to resist fading, mold, and wear while still offering style and comfort.

You can use them on patios, decks, porches, pool areas, or even under covered outdoor furniture.

Why Outdoor Rugs Work

Outdoor rugs help make open areas feel warm and complete. They:

  • Add comfort underfoot 
  • Help separate seating and dining areas
  • Bring in color and pattern
  • Protect your deck or patio from wear
  • Tie your furniture together

If you’ve already chosen good outdoor furniture, a rug finishes the look.

We carry trusted brands like:

Capel Rugs – Classic designs with lasting quality

Capel Rugs brings tradition home with patterns that never go out of style. Known for their dependable craftsmanship and warm, welcoming designs, these rugs add depth and character to any outdoor setting. Whether you’re creating a casual porch retreat or a more polished patio space, Capel offers a variety of textures, colors, and sizes that stand up to daily life while staying true to classic American taste.

Jaipur Rugs – Artisan-inspired styles with modern durability

Jaipur Rugs blends hand-crafted artistry with practical performance. Their outdoor collections reflect global patterns and natural textures while using weather-friendly materials built to last. If you’re looking for a rug that adds personality and bold style to your space—without sacrificing comfort or resilience, Jaipur Rugs delivers. These designs are perfect for families who want both beauty and durability in one package.

Easy Ways to Style Outdoor Rugs

Here are some easy ways to pick a rug that fits your space:

  • For relaxing areas: Choose soft colors or textured patterns 
  • For outdoor dining: Use dark tones or bold prints that hide spills 
  • For small patios: Try stripes or patterns to make the space feel larger 
  • For family use: Choose low-pile options that clean easily and feel soft 

Fowler tip: Make sure your rug fits under the furniture and doesn’t feel too small or disconnected from the rest of the space.

Outdoor rugs are simple to take care of:

  • Shake out or vacuum as needed 
  • Hose down occasionally and let dry 
  • Roll and store during colder months 
  • Clean up spills with mild soap and water

Our team can help you find the best rug for your space and explain how to keep it looking good over time.

Common Questions We Hear

“Will this rug get moldy?”
Not likely. The materials we carry are quick-drying and resist mildew. Just avoid letting water sit under them for long periods.

“Do I need a rug pad?”
If your rug is on smooth concrete or tile, a rug pad can help it stay in place. Ask us for options in-store.

“Is it worth the cost?”
Yes. A quality outdoor rug lasts for multiple seasons and adds both style and comfort to your space.

Outdoor rugs placed poolside and under a porch dining set
Define your outdoor living areas with durable outdoor rugs—ideal for both poolside relaxation and open-air dining.
