Designers often use their own homes as testing grounds for the latest trends, furnishings, and color palettes. For Ashley Childers—founder and creative director of the home furnishings brand Emporium Home—that’s certainly true, and the result is an ever-evolving portrait of her personal style
Ashley Childers is a woman on the go—and not just around central Arkansas. On any given day, she might be headed to market to showcase the latest offerings from her wholesale home furnishings line or jetting overseas to oversee the manufacturing of a new product design. Launched in 2012, the Emporium Home brand has quickly become a favorite among designers and homeowners alike, thanks largely to the line’s striking silhouettes, daring deployment of color, and innovative use of natural materials. However, seeing the furnishings and accents integrated into the unique and personalized look of Childers’s own home—which she shares with her husband Garrett (who is also the president of Emporium Home), her daughter Brighton and son Cade—they become more than a showroom of stunning statement pieces; they offer a snapshot of the signature style of one of Arkansas’s most creative minds.
