As the chill of winter fades, the first daffodil bloom reminds us that spring is here. Spring provides us with a sense of joy, renewal and freshness, as the landscape around us explodes with an abundance of magnificent colors.
The mood created by these colors is critical to our well-being and provides a sense of balance in our lives. The same is true of the colors and textures in the interiors of our homes.
Whether it’s using lighter, cleaner colors in design, or the vibrant colors and textures found in nature, one goal remains. We want our interiors to be beautiful and functional and bring us joy.
Local designer Angelia Spraberry of Oak Highland Design and Decorating Den Interiors understands the use of color and textures in interior spaces.
“Beauty, color and warmth are the main elements that draw people into a space,” Spraberry says. “One way to add these elements is the creative use of fabrics – for example, a new accent chair upholstered in a fun print, or new fabric on an existing furniture piece.”
Adding drapery or colorful, textured pillows are simple ways to enhance your room’s beauty, warmth and color. The use of textural fabrics such as a boucle, velvets, tweeds or leather on chairs, ottomans or throw pillows can bring exciting elements of design to a space.
“Fabric enhances and softens an interior like no other design element can,” Spraberry says. “Fabric can set a mood for a room; from soft, quiet, and sophisticated to bold and beautiful.”
The number of fabrics you can choose from is almost unlimited, with new collections every spring and fall, assuring the perfect color and pattern for each need or taste.
“Our ability to apply these fabric colors, textures and prints gives each of us a unique opportunity to truly personalize our surroundings,” Spraberry says.
The owner of Oak Highland Design LLC, Spraberry has been in business since 2021 and knows that the design process can be overwhelming and intimidating for a client.
“Bringing fresh color and texture to your interiors requires thoughtful planning, but the process of making the correct selections of color and texture shouldn’t be overwhelming,” she said. “It should be fun.”
From the initial consultation to the final reveal, Spraberry guides her clients through the design process to make it an enjoyable experience for them. She coordinates every step of the process — from measuring, planning, product selection and ordering to installation — making sure things go smoothly.
“My role as a designer is to listen to my client. Working with them to create a custom plan that meets their needs and desires and provides them with a space that is both beautiful and functional as well as a reflection of their personality. I want my clients to love their home!”
