Atmosphere. Ambience. Character. These three words accurately describe the relaxed and warm environment that one feels when shopping at our Beaumont and Nederland, Texas locations. And this is all done from design…. thanks to the talent and skills of Decorator Katherine Karr Langham.

Larry Domingue, manager of our Beaumont store, says, “Katherine is a great asset to our Texas stores.  She is one of those ‘behind the scenes’ people.  Because we only see the finished project, most are unaware of how much thought and planning Katherine does to make the stores look great.  As she goes about her daily work of improving our showrooms, Katherine does not shy away from assisting customers and our salespeople who are facing design challenges.

Bill Gragg, manager of our Nederland store, adds, “Katherine’s decorating ability is incredible. She has always kept our showroom updated with the newest trends.  Need advice on what colors to paint your rooms at home?  Just ask Katherine.  She has been such a blessing to Home Furniture and our customers.”

Katherine’s artistic passion is beautifully revealed in the results of her work, and the results speak for themselves. Whether a room setting at the store or a personal commissioned piece of art for a client, one can easily attain that her passion is creating.  Says Katherine, “I love helping to make someone’s house into a home. I love helping others discover their own trend in design whether it's interior design, floor plans, or artwork.” Her medium of choice these days consists of watercolor, acrylic, and even 3D paper collage.

Additionally, when asked to share the “One Thing” that we may not know, Katherine replied, “I was a ballroom and Latin dance instructor…a long time ago.”

Katherine began her work at Home Furniture Plus Bedding as the decorator for our Beaumont store in July of 2005. In 2007 she began decorating our Nederland store as well.  Born and raised in Houston, Katherine has resided in Lumberton, Texas since 1993 with her husband, Thomas, and son Jack, along with their two dogs, Mandy and Kalli.

Thank you, Katherine, for making our showrooms look and feel like “Home” and for making it easier for our customers to buy, and easier for our salespeople to sell.
