Husband-and-Wife Team Combines Interior Design Expertise with Original Art to Create One-of-a-Kind Living Spaces
Easley, SC – Curate Art & Interiors, a new design destination featuring curated furniture, decor, and original artwork, has officially opened its doors at 5051 Calhoun Memorial Highway. The store represents the culmination of a creative partnership between interior design expert Melissa Ragsdale and visual artist Craig Ragsdale, offering the community access to exceptional design services and one-of-a-kind pieces from regional artisans.
A Partnership Rooted in Passion and Experience
The husband-and-wife team brings complementary expertise that spans nearly five decades of combined experience in design and fine arts. Melissa Ragsdale, originally from High Point, NC, has spent over two decades mastering the art of interior design, developing a reputation for her keen eye for detail, charismatic approach, and deep understanding of her clients' individual needs. Her design philosophy centers on creating uniquely tailored spaces that reflect each client's personality and lifestyle.
Craig Ragsdale contributes his artistic vision as a passionate visual artist with more than 25 years of experience creating vivid oil paintings. Working from his studio in West Greenville's vibrant arts district at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts, Craig draws inspiration from the world's natural wonders, blending life experiences, photographs, memories, and imagination into his compelling artwork.
More Than a Store: A Curated Experience
Curate Art & Interiors goes beyond traditional retail by offering carefully selected pieces from a variety of artisans across the region. The store's mission is to help clients create spaces that are not only comfortable and functional but also memorable and inspiring. Each piece is chosen for its ability to transform a house into a home, reflecting the owners' unique style and story.
"We believe that beautiful living spaces should be accessible to everyone," said Melissa Ragsdale. "Our goal is to provide our clients with exceptional pieces and design expertise that help them create environments where they truly love to live."
Craig Ragsdale added, "Art has the power to transform any space, and we're excited to share both our own work and the incredible talent of regional artisans with our community. Every piece tells a story, and we want to help people find the pieces that speak to their individual narratives."
Community-Focused and Family-Driven
The Ragsdales are deeply rooted in the Upstate South Carolina community, where they are raising their four children.
