Emory Anne Interiors is a full-service interior design studio and home furnishings retailer that combines on-site design consultation with a curated showroom of furniture, lighting, textiles, and decorative objects. Located in Oklahoma City, it serves both residential clients seeking complete room design and shoppers looking for individual pieces without a design project.
The business operates as a hybrid: a design firm that charges for consultation and project fees, paired with a retail component where customers can purchase items seen in the showroom or sourced through the design team. The showroom carries mid-range to premium furniture lines, with style leaning toward contemporary and transitional aesthetics rather than ultra-modern or traditional period work. The scale is intimate—a single-location studio rather than a chain—which means the inventory reflects the owner's curatorial taste and changes with seasonal restocks and new line additions.
Emory Anne Interiors offers three service tiers: full-room design (including space planning, material selection, and installation oversight), partial consultation on specific pieces or a single zone, and retail-only visits with no design fee. Full-room projects typically start at $3,000 to $5,000 in design fees, depending on square footage and complexity, plus the cost of furnishings and any trade services like custom upholstery or flooring. Partial consultations run $500 to $1,500 per session. Retail purchases are priced individually; furniture ranges from $800 to $4,500 for sofas and case pieces, lighting from $150 to $900, and accessories from $30 to $400. Verify current project minimums and hourly rates before engaging for consultation, as design fees may adjust seasonally or by demand.
Oklahoma City has two primary categories of home furnishings retail: large-format stores like Ashley Furniture Homestore and Rooms to Go, which offer volume inventory and promotional financing but limited design support, and independent boutique retailers scattered across midtown and Edmond that specialize in either vintage, eclectic, or one specific aesthetic. Emory Anne Interiors occupies a middle position: more curated and design-focused than big-box chains, but more accessible and less niche than single-style boutiques like The Rug Company (rug-focused) or Lost & Found (vintage-only). Choose Emory Anne for a cohesive design vision and mid-to-premium quality pieces; choose Ashley or Rooms to Go if you want to furnish a room quickly and affordably; choose boutiques if you are hunting for a specific era or style statement.
Emory Anne Interiors works best for homeowners planning a major refresh, renovation, or move who want professional guidance but want to see and touch pieces before committing. It also suits decorators and design professionals sourcing unique items for clients. It is less ideal for budget-first shoppers, anyone needing IKEA-level pricing, or customers expecting an enormous selection—the showroom is edited, not exhaustive. First-time design clients should expect to invest time in the consultation process (typically 2 to 4 hours over one to three sessions) before placing orders.
Walk-in shopping is welcome and free. Customers can browse the showroom, take photos, and ask sales staff about individual pieces, sourcing, and lead times. If you want to discuss a larger project, staff will schedule a design consultation, which typically begins with a site visit to your home (or Zoom if distance is prohibitive) and a discussion of budget, timeline, and aesthetic direction. The designer then produces a mood board, floor plan, or 3D rendering depending on the scope. Revisions are included in the design fee; purchases and installation are separate line items.
Emory Anne Interiors operates by appointment for design consultations and maintains retail hours for walk-in shopping; confirm current hours on their website or by phone, as design-focused practices sometimes adjust retail availability seasonally. Parking is available on-site or nearby street parking depending on the location. Delivery is available for large pieces within the Oklahoma City metro area and is typically quoted per item based on weight and distance. Custom upholstery, fabrics, and special orders carry lead times of 6 to 12 weeks; ready-to-ship pieces typically arrive within 2 to 4 weeks.
Emory Anne Interiors fills the gap between big-box furniture retail and bespoke design, offering homeowners a way to access professional taste without the price or exclusivity of a full-service firm.
