What Barbour Spangle Design does

Barbour Spangle Design is a privately-held, female-owned interior design studio founded in 2000 by Christi Barbour and Christi Spangle, headquartered in High Point, North Carolina. The firm operates a procurement-forward, full-service model organized around four service lines: residential interior design, commercial interior design, multifamily design and procurement, and showroom design. Its core technology is the integrated process itself — combining conceptual design, furniture and finishes specification, sourcing, and delivery planning into a single workflow managed by a team of approximately 15 designers, coordinators, an expeditor, and support staff, supported by dedicated operations (COO/Integrator), design direction, and new business development roles. The firm is WBENC-certified and participates annually in High Point Market, where it designs showrooms for major furniture brands.

The company generates revenue through project-based professional services fees and procurement-driven sourcing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment for clients across residential, commercial, multifamily, hospitality, education, and retail sectors. Its go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales, with named clients including High Point University, Hooker Furnishings, Hawthorne Residential Partners, Hound Ears Club, Brady Services, and Restonic Mattress. Distribution relies on direct engagement, referrals, and High Point Market visibility rather than digital channels. The firm is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and independently operated with no institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiaries, reflecting a long-tenured, stable operating posture rather than a venture-scale growth model.
