Red Door Interiors opens Shreveport location

Red Door Interiors, a Corporate Boulevard home furnishings store, has opened a second location in Shreveport. Erin DeBosier, who owns Red Door along with her husband, Matt, says the store opened Saturday. “We chose Shreveport because they had the right real estate,” DeBosier says. “Plus, they’ve had a nice boom because of the Haynesville Shale.” The DeBosiers looked at locations in Lafayette, Mandeville and Covington, before purchasing a pair of old Regions Bank buildings. The plan is to build a connector between the two spaces, to create one single location with about 16,000 square feet, DeBosier says. “This is a little fun and flexible,” she says. “Plus, there’s a courtyard where we can put our outdoor furniture.” The location on Youree Drive is near where a couple of other Baton Rouge-based businesses are, including Lee Michaels and School Aids. “We’re in good Baton Rouge company,” DeBosier says. Red Door opened in 2005. The DeBosiers plan to eventually open about a dozen locations across the South. “We’re probably going to start looking at Houston shortly,” she says.—Timothy Boone
