Three Texas design stars share their design philosophies and must-have elements, offering a peek into their creative process and inspiring your next project. Get inspired by these three design superstars who were recently honored by Luxe Next In Design 99.

Infuse Tradition with Whimsy

Katie Davis, known for her playful take on traditional design, suggests incorporating woven textures and “grandmillenial” vibes – a delightful blend of classic and modern touches.

Tip from a Pro: Don’t shy away from patterns! Stripes, florals, and checks can add personality to your space. A dash of Parma Gray by Farrow & Ball creates a sophisticated yet approachable backdrop for playful touches.

Be Fearless

Holly Hickey Moore champions fearless design choices. Her motto: “Color and pattern unleashed.” Embrace what makes you happy – after all, your home should reflect your unique personality.

Tip from a Pro: Plants and flowers add vibrancy and life to any space. Take a note from Holly’s book and consider a statement lampshade – a collaboration with a fashion designer, perhaps?

Global Touches Elevate

Erica Volkmer emphasizes curated spaces that blend styles seamlessly. She’s excited about the return of color and sees a resurgence of classic patterns like herringbone.

Tip from a Pro: Travel is a wellspring of inspiration!  Incorporate regional details or a touch of steely blue for a sophisticated touch. Most importantly, don’t forget the power of lighting – that perfect lamp can elevate your entire space.

All three designers agree – if you love it, use it! Use these ideas as a springboard for your own. Trust your instincts and curate a space that reflects your own story.
