House-hunting is about more than finding the right address—it’s about imagining the life you’ll live inside those walls. Whether you’re moving across town or relocating from another state, the decisions you make before you buy will shape how your home looks, feels and functions for years to come. As a luxury interior designer specializing in both in-person and virtual interior design, I help clients plan for their dream home from the very first showing, making smart, beautiful and lasting choices—so when move-in day arrives, every detail feels intentional and perfectly you.

Focus on architecture, light and layout—not the seller’s furniture. Capture measurements and quick videos so your designer can evaluate the home’s potential, even from afar and help you visualize the home’s potential.

Factor in updates like flooring, lighting and built-ins from the start. Designing and implementing construction-related projects before move-in often saves time, money and stress, not to mention avoiding unnecessary disruption to your everyday life.

Pinpoint the rooms or features most important to you—whether it’s a chef’s kitchen, statement foyer or functional home office. Discuss those with your designer to ensure the home will lend itself to your goals and start making plans to bring those dreams to fruition.

Our Relocation Interior Design services let you start designing your Texas home before you arrive. We manage everything—from virtual consultations to full-service furnishings and construction design, procurement, installations and on-site oversight—so it’s ready the day you move in. We even arrange for the home-related services you may not have already arranged: house cleaners, landscapers, organizers and more!

Luxury design takes time and planning ahead is EVERYTHING!! While we can design all phases at once, if you’re not able to take on the entire project altogether, you’ll want to consider essentials before move-in (particularly any construction, paint or other “messy” updates), core furnishings next and finishing touches last for a more manageable transformation.

When design and house-hunting work hand-in-hand, you’re not just buying square footage—you’re investing in a home that’s tailored to your lifestyle and aspirations. Whether we’re walking through properties together in person or collaborating virtually from miles away, my role is to ensure that when you cross the threshold for the very first time, it already feels like home.
