Lady of the House

Katelynn Henry, owner of Henry Home Interiors, propels primary suite to an award-winning space in an already historic, legendary home

Henry Home Interiors participates annually in the OKC Phil’s Symphony Show House, and this year, the historic Dolese Mansion was chosen as the canvas, marking the 51st year of this beloved event.

Katelynn Calonkey Henry propelled the primary suite to the winner’s circle, taking the coveted Favorite Room in the house award. Her vision for the ultimate retreat for the lady of the house was a vibrant, layered, masterpiece that left a lasting impression on the memories of the nearly 3,000 visitors who toured this year's home.

Waves of calm wash over you as the ocean-hued walls engulf you in peace. It boasts a barrel ceiling, mirrored closet and a brick fireplace adorned with hand-painted tiles, each adding extra charm. A four-poster king bed framed in brushed brass is complemented by elegant nightstands in an olive ash veneer. A sculptural curved sofa creates a cozy nook perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening nightcap.

Tying it all together, a silk hand-knotted rug softens the floor, infusing subtle pastel hues to ground this magnetic space. 

The serenity and versatility of this large primary suite is a testament to Katelynn's dedication to every little detail and her ability to make a space not only beautiful, but functional as well.

Small but Powerful

Tucked into the elegant waterfall edge desk is a traditional Rajasthan bone inlay chair with subtle tones upholstered with soft blush velvet. Atop the desk you’ll find a lovely fuchsia faux orchid from one of Katelynn’s favorite vendors, Orchid and Olive of Oklahoma City. The small nook is a powerful space that inspires beautiful work to be done. 

Custom Drapery

Illuminating fabrics of contrasting jewel tones were elegantly curated by Katelynn and expertly constructed by Grace Allen Design.

Chandelier That Mesmerizes

The space is graced by a stunning three-tiered chandelier, featuring a cascade of reflective glass floral pieces. Each clear glass flower captures and amplifies light, creating a mesmerizing sparkle that dances across the room. This breathtaking fixture not only illuminates but also adds a touch of elegance and grandeur, transforming the ambiance with its shimmering reflections and sophisticated design.

When we featured Katelynn as one of our Influential Women this spring, she shared a quote that perfectly encapsulates her design philosophy: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful,” by William Morris.

This quote resonates deeply with Katelynn and is evident in the stunning space we’re showcasing today. Every element reflects this commitment to beauty and utility, creating an environment that is both functional and visually captivating.

Katelynn’s career in the world of furniture and home design is a testament to her passion and expertise. She grew up surrounded by the intricacies of the furniture industry. However, it was only six years ago, when faced with a professional crossroads, that she decided to channel her expertise into launching her own work of art, Henry Home Interiors. Her vision was clear: to redefine home design with a distinct, fashion-forward flair. 

In 2023, Henry Home Interiors took a significant leap forward by expanding their showroom from 6,000 to an impressive 10,000 square feet. This expansion included the addition of a phenomenal design center, allowing for a more comprehensive showcase of their exquisite offerings and a resource for local interior designers. Katelynn views each item in their collection not just as furniture and decor but as pieces of art, meticulously curated to bring sophisticated living into every home. 

Katelynn and her dedicated team at Henry Home Interiors warmly invite Lifestyle readers to explore their expansive showroom in Brookhaven Village.

Transforming spaces into beautiful, functional environments that reflect the unique tastes and needs of their clients is the gold standard they gracefully set. Experience firsthand how Katelynn’s philosophy comes to life and discover how their curated selections can elevate your home.
