New South Home Couture Journey

We have been M.I.A with our blog posts over the past few months due to the crazy busy schedule we have had! If you haven't heard yet, we have been working endless hours over the past six months getting everything up and running for our newest business New South Home Couture. New South Home Couture offers custom home decor in designer fabrics that give our customers an easy updated look for their home. We offer fresh color collections and patterns that are easy to mix and match and coordinate with an existing look. Our products include, printed pillows, monogram pillows, table runners, our custom scented soy candles, and window treatments are coming soon! Another key feature of our company is our design services. We have design specialists available to work one on one with their customers to help them pull product together to achieve the look they are going for.

We have been up and running for two weeks as of today! During the past six months we have documented our journey of opening up this business. So here is a look at some of the major steps that have gotten us to where we are today!


We have done an extensive amount of research to find out what the biggest demands were in the market of home decor. Numerous hours were spent researching fabrics, competitive shopping was done, and focus groups were hosted.
