DECORATIVE HOME ACCENTS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
     STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
     JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
________________________________________________________________________________

1.  BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION

    The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
    statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions
    of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
    footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
    financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
    (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
    presentation have been included in the interim financial information.
                
    For interim reporting, the Company's subsidiary, Home Innovations. Inc.
    ("HII") uses an estimated gross profit based on information provided by its
    accounting and financial systems.  At year-end, inventories of the Company
    are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in, first-out   
    (FIFO) method, or market.                                             
        
    The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with its highest sales levels
    historically occurring in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, which
    include the holiday selling season.  Therefore, the results of operations
    for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating
    results of  the full year.                               
        

2.  ORGANIZATION

    The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
    1996, include the accounts of Decorative Home Accents, Inc. ("DHA" or the
    "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Rug Barn, Inc. and Home
    Innovations, Inc. (purchased on July 13, 1995).
                
   
    All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        INTRODUCTION 
        The following discussion provides management's assessment of the
        results of operations and liquidity and capital resources of DHA and
        should be read in conjunction with the respective financial statements
        of DHA and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  The
        following table includes unaudited proforma financial information as if
        the July 1995 purchase of Home Innovations, Inc. ("HII") occurred as of
        January 1, 1995.  Such adjustments to the proforma financial
        information consist principally of the following:  net adjustments to
        cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses related to adjusting depreciation
        expense for the new basis of accounting resulting from the HII
        acquisition; increases in SG&A expenses to account for the amortization
        of goodwill and the identifiable intangible assets resulting from the
        HII acquisition; increases in SG&A expenses to account for compensation
        expense resulting from granting stock  options at less than fair market
        value; net adjustments to interest expense resulting from issuance of
        13% Senior Notes due 2002 and extinguishment of prior debt,
        amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of discount on the
        Senior Notes.
        
        Management's discussion and analysis of the results of operations
        should be read using the proforma financial information presented below:

IMPACT OF THE PURCHASE OF HOME INNOVATIONS, INC.


On July 13, 1995, DHA acquired HII, a leading manufacturer of niche oriented
home accessories with the following product categories: bath furnishings, window
and specialty products, bedding products and the  Calvin Klein Home Collection,
a new line of designer home products launched in September 1995 under the Calvin
Klein trademark.  The cash purchase price of HII was approximately $95.1
million,  after a $6.7 million reduction to the purchase price, including
acquisition related costs of approximately $1.8 million and the assumption of
approximately $32.8 million in liabilities consisting of trade payables and
accruals and $2.3 million of junior subordinated notes.  The $6.7 million
adjustment to the purchase price was determined as a result of  the level of net
assets acquired as of the closing date and certain indemnifications from the
sellers.  The $6.7 million was received from the sellers in December, 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As described above, the results of operations for the three months ended June
30, 1995 reflect proforma adjustments related to the merger agreement   
discussed above.

     Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30,
     1996 (Actual) with the Proforma Results of Operations for the Three Months 
     Ended June 30, 1995 (with proforma adjustments as discussed above).



NET SALES

Net sales for three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $3.1 million, or
6.5% from $47.6 million of proforma net sales for the three months ended June
30, 1995 to $44.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Weak       
consumer demand and conservative inventory management by retailers served by the
Company continued to  negatively impact the June 30, 1996 quarter.  While the
Company experienced some improvement in retail conditions compared to the fourth
quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, sales declined for the 1996
quarter compared to the same period in 1995.  Additionally, 1996 second quarter
sales were negatively impacted by furniture cover sales.  The Company is
significantly reducing its commitment to the furniture cover business because of
substantial return problems generally experienced by the industry.  Sales of
Calvin Klein Home products positively impacted the quarter-to-quarter
comparison.  Sales of Calvin Klein Home products commenced in the third quarter
of 1995.


GROSS PROFIT

The gross profit margin increased from a proforma of 25.6% for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 to 28.7% for the three months ended June 30 , 1996. The 1995
margin was negatively impacted by substantial write-downs of slow moving,
close-out and obsolete inventory. Plant operating strategies were changed in
1996 to help reduce the Company's exposure to inventory writedowns, particularly
in the cut-and-sew and print plants. The new operating strategy also contributed
to higher efficiencies in those plants. Gains from the plant operations and
inventory control were offset somewhat by a slight decline in giftware margins
resulting from a change in product mix.  As the Company continues to broaden its
giftware product offerings to maximize its distribution strength, the margins
realized on certain products sourced through outside manufacturers will
continue to put some downward pressure on margins. 


SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

SG&A expenses decreased $2.0 million or 14.4%  from a proforma of $13.9 million 
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $11.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased from a
proforma of 29.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 26.8% for the 
same period of 1996.  The 1995 amount was negatively impacted by significant
charges recorded related to customer chargebacks and claims. Positively
impacting the 1996 results were the ongoing cost and headcount reduction
programs resulting from the July 1995 merger. Duplicate functions are   being
eliminated and cost reductions achieved from consolidating certain functions and
services.  Management of the Company expects
        
                                       11



   12




the cost reduction programs to continue to favorably impact the second half of
1996 compared to 1995 expense levels.  Negatively impacting the amounts of SG&A
expenses for 1995 and 1996 were the costs associated with Calvin Klein Home. 
Advertising and overhead expenses associated with Calvin Klein Home, as a
percentage of sales, exceeded the level of the Company's mature businesses. This
investment in the growth of the Calvin Klein Home Line is part of the Company's
long-term plan and management of the Company expects that  SG&A expenses as a
percentage of sales will continue to exceed its other mature businesses for the
next 12-24 months.


INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense, net increased from a proforma of $4.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  This increase was principally due to increased borrowings under  the
Company's revolving line of credit during the second quarter of 1996.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As described above, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30,
1995 reflect proforma adjustments related to the merger agreement       
discussed above.

     Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 
     (Actual) with the Proforma Results of Operations for the Six Months
     Ended June 30, 1995 (with proforma adjustments as discussed above).

NET SALES

Net sales for six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $16.0 million, or
16.0% from $100.3 million of proforma net sales for the six months ended June
30, 1995 to $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. A soft retail
climate continued to negatively impact sales.   While the most significant
decline was in furniture cover sales, all product lines and distribution
channels served by the Company were impacted. A modest improvement in retail
conditions was experienced by the Company in the second quarter ended June 30,
1996 compared to the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996.  
However, the improvement did not completely offset the negative impact of the
weak retail environment on 1996 sales.   The decrease in furniture cover sales
was offset by sales of Calvin Klein Home products. Currently, management of 
the Company expects full year sales for 1996 to be below 1995 levels as a result
of the difficult retail climate.


GROSS PROFIT

The gross profit margin increased from a proforma of 27.3% for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 to 28.2% for the six months ended June 30 , 1996. The
improvement in the 1996 period is attributable primarily to higher plant
efficiencies and stronger controls over inventory. The 1995 proforma gross
profit margin reflects the effect of substantial efficiency losses in the       
Company's cut-and- sew and print plants.  Additionally, the Company recorded
substantial inventory writedowns in the 1995 period.  Gross margins for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 were negatively impacted by some declines in the
giftware trade margins. As the Company continues to broaden its giftware product
offerings to maximize its distribution strength, the margins realized on certain
products sourced through outside manufacturers will continue to put some
downward pressure on margins.


SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

SG&A expenses decreased $1.6 million or 6.3% from a proforma of $25.4 million 
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $23.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses increased to 28.2%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from a proforma of  25.3% for the same
period of 1995.  The increase in SG&A expenses, as a

                                       12



   13





percentage of sales, resulted from the fixed nature of many of the Company's
SG&A costs, particularly salaries and benefits and the reduced sales for six
months ending June 30, 1996.  From an absolute dollar standpoint, the 1995
results were negatively impacted by uncollectible accounts charges resulting
from customer chargebacks and claims. Additionally, substantial expenditures
related to the September, 1995 launch of the Calvin Klein Home Line negatively
impacted SG&A expenses for the first half of 1995. The negative impact on SG&A
expenses continued, to a lesser extent, as advertising and overhead expenses
related to the new Calvin Klein Home Line continued in 1996. As a percentage of
sales, the SG&A expenses associated with the Calvin Klein Home Line exceeded
those of the Company's mature businesses. This investment in the growth of the
Calvin Klein Home is part of the Company's long-term plan and management of the
Company expects that SG&A expense as a percentage of sales will continue to
exceed its other mature businesses for the next 12-24 months. Favorably
impacting the 1996 results was the on-going cost and headcount reduction
programs resulting from the July, 1995 acquisition of Home Innovations.
Integration of certain overhead functions as well as the elimination of
duplicative headcount began to positively impact the Company's result for the
second quarter of 1996.  Management of the Company expects that SG&A expenses
will continue to be favorably impacted from these programs for the balance of   
1996.

        

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET


Interest expense, net increased from a proforma of $8.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 to $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996.  This increase was principally due to increased borrowings under the      
Company's revolving line of credit during the first six months of 1996.


INCOME TAXES

        
The Company has recognized an income tax benefit arising from the
year-to-date loss.  The Company has not provided a valuation allowance on the
related deferred tax asset.  Management of the Company currently believes that
the deferred tax asset reported in the June 30, 1996 Balance Sheet will be
fully realized in the foreseeable future.


SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal in nature with its highest sales levels
historically occurring during the third and fourth fiscal quarters, which
includes the holiday selling season.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity for operations and expansion have
historically been funds generated internally and borrowings under the   
Company's $50.0 million revolving credit facility.  Available borrowings under
the credit facility are based on specified levels of underlying collateral.  As
of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately $10.9 million available under
the  revolving credit facility described above (net of $18.7 million of
outstanding borrowings and $2.6 million in outstanding letters of credit).  The
Company intends to utilize borrowings under the revolving credit facility to
meet seasonal fluctuations in the Company's working capital requirements,
typically peaking in early October, and to fund the anticipated build up of
inventory relating to the continuing rollout of the Calvin Klein Home line of
products.  Management believes the Calvin Klein Home line of products have
increased the Company's working capital needs in 1996 by approximately $8 to
$12 million from 1995 levels. Management believes that the working capital
requirements related to Calvin Klein in 1996 peaked in April 1996. Management
believes that the Company's cash flow from operations and borrowing under the
revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Calvin Klein Home
requirements.  The obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured
by a first lien on the inventory and receivables of The Rug Barn, Inc. and Home
Innovations, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The revolving credit facility contains
certain financial and other covenants with which the Company must comply,
including, but not limited to a requirement to maintain certain financial
ratios and limitations on the ability of Rug Barn and Home Innovations to incur
additional indebtedness and pay dividends.  The Company was in compliance with
the loan covenants, as amended, at June 30, 1996.

                                       13



   14







Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $8.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996.  In addition to the Company's net loss, cash
used for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was driven by an additional
investment of $1.7 million in inventory as well as reductions in trade payables
and accruals totaling $4.2 million.  Additionally, other current assets
increased by approximately $2.0 million primarily as a result of prepaid
catalog costs associated with new product roll-outs. The incremental inventory
investment related almost entirely to the new Calvin Klein Home Line. Excluding
investment made in Calvin Klein inventory, the Company's inventory investment
decreased by approximately $6 million or 14%, from December 31, 1995 amounts.
The Company's cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
positively impacted by a $2.4 million reduction in receivables resulting from   
increased emphasis on collections.               


Capital expenditures for the  six month period ended June 30, 1996      
approximated $1.9 million.  The Company currently has no material commitments
for capital expenditures.

Borrowings under the Company's line of credit increased by approximately        
$13.7 million during the six  months ended June 30, 1996.  Additionally, the
Company paid dividends totaling $1.75 million on its redeemable preferred stock
in January, 1996. During the balance of 1996, the Company expects that
dividends will be paid in kind rather than in cash.

Management expects that the Company's cash flow from operations and borrowings
under the revolving credit facility, as required, will be adequate to finance 
anticipated operation needs, planned capital expenditures and to meet
its debt service obligations in 1996.


INFLATION
Although the operations of the Company are generally influenced by economic
conditions, the Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect
on the results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.  The Company has been historically able to mitigate the impact of the
increases in the spot market prices of cotton through fixed price purchase

EFFECT OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROVISIONS

Compliance with Federal, State and local provisions that have been enacted or
adopted regulating the discharge of materials in the environment, or otherwise
relating to protection of the environment, has not had, and is not expected to
have, a material adverse effect on the capital expenditures, net income or
competitive position of the Company.


PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
The statements contained in this Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) that are not historical facts
are forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor created by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The Company cautions readers
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that a number of important factors could
cause the Company's actual results in 1996 and beyond to differ materially from
those expressed in any such forward-looking statements.  These factors include,
without limitation, the general economic and business conditions affecting the
retail industry, the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations,
contractual restrictions on HII's and the Rug Barn's ability to pay dividends
to the Company, competition from a variety of firms ranging from small
manufacturers to large textile mills, the seasonality of the Company's sales,
the volatility of the Company's raw material cost, the Company's dependence on
key personnel and the risk of loss of a material customer or a significant
license.  These and other factors are more fully described in the Company's     
previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, without
limitation, the Company's Prospectus dated November 10, 1995.
