For many homeowners, the best part about building a house in Texas comes at the end of the home building process when you’re actually moving in and shopping for furniture and home decor for your new space. Everything has been leading up to this day - from the initial budget planning for your home to choosing the floor plan to the home selections meeting - you have been thinking about how you and your family will be using your new space.
To help you, we’ve compiled a list of the best home design bloggers and interior designers in North Texas to offer you inspiration for your new home, as well as a list of the best local home stores to shop at in and near Dallas-Fort Worth. You can shop for furniture and home decor for your new home at these Texas home stores.
We’ve already shared our picks for the Top 10 Texas Home Bloggers to Inspire Your New Home Design, which you can check out on our blog, but below you’ll find a list of a few of the best interior designers in Dallas-Fort Worth who offer interior design services, as well as additional home design inspiration through their blogs and social pages.
Full Disclosure: We compiled this list by searching for the best interior designers located near the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and, from there, chose businesses with Google and Facebook reviews of 4 stars or higher. Hedgefield Homes is not affiliated with any of these businesses, nor were we offered monetary incentives to list them here.
“We hired Michelle to do a refresh of an under-utilized ‘flex’ room and our master bedroom and she was simply amazing. She gave us multiple options for a new layout for the flex room, and then once we decided on one, she made up boards with different furniture and design options for us to pick from. Similarly, she helped us execute a design for an accent wall in our bedroom and selected beautiful linens and accents. She made the design process so simple and let us be involved exactly as much as we wanted to be. She also worked within a budget. I highly recommend her for any project.”

“Paxton Place designs did an amazing job with my living room design. It is an odd-shaped room that has always had a lot of dead space. They were able to take furniture pieces I had and use them in different ways that I love. All of their recommendations fit my taste perfectly. They were extremely polite and so easy to work with. I am looking forward to working with them in the future.”

“Margaret and Allen helped me decorate a music room, family room, dining space, master bedroom, guest room and halls. I love the final product! Margaret took the time to listen to me. She looked at pictures of what I liked and directed me to other pictures when I didn’t have any ideas. Together, we were able to blend my style with my husband’s and ended with a home that feels comfortable and child-friendly, while still holding quality pieces and a classic style.
I am particularly impressed with Margaret’s abilities to remember spaces and colors, visualize pieces as parts of a whole, and then put it all together as an artist!
Allen is also a gifted designer and was able to add details that really give the space some pizzazz. Overall, I find that everyone at Chambers Interiors is kind, professional and responsive. Pricing in our project was always upfront and straightforward; phone calls were always answered and returned immediately. I would definitely use Chambers Interiors for another project in the future."

“Lindsey has been great to work with. She listens to our suggestions and, when appropriate, works them into the design or shows us a better solution. This is the first time I have worked with a designer and it has definitely helped open my eyes to designs I would not have appreciated before. I am very pleased with our new kitchen and master suite. Lindsey is very responsive to any emails or phone calls and is very professional. I would highly suggest her to anyone looking for design advice or help with a remodel.”

"Adobe Interiors deserves five out of five stars. This is high-end quality and they deliver on the price tag. I look forward to seeing this furniture for years to come wherever I live. Heidi was my go-to in the buying process. She did much more than sell, but helped me decide on ways to maximize the space in my own home.
Originally, I was drawn to the Urban Architect Sofa (which is amazing!), and she helped me build the room around that piece. There were hundreds of texts and pictures, measurements, and other communications to make this the best it could have been. The Ivena Sofa Table sitting across the sofa is a beautiful piece that ties the whole living room together. The chest coffee table and rug underneath all outstanding pieces. Thanks to Adobe for an amazing product and service!”
- Robert Gonzalez
"Shopped around and definitely had the best pricing in FW. Didn’t find exactly what I was looking for on their showroom floor so they custom built it exactly to my specifications. They also offered complimentary wine/beer while you shop which was a nice touch. Great customer service.”
“Great prices for great quality of furniture. I was able to fully furnish a new build at an affordable price. Associate Jill is amazing! We came back a second time because we love her insight. She is very honest and will work with you until you are fully satisfied. What a great experience…”
- Nadia Ruiz
There’s No Place Like Home helps its customers place their furniture orders directly with the manufacturers so there are no inventory costs, no elaborate showroom expenses and the savings are passed down to the customer.
“If you’re looking for the perfect addition to your home decor, something that has class and showcases your unique personality and swag, you found it. My wife and I always get the royal treatment when we stop in - not because we’re special - just because that’s the way Abby and her hard working staff treat EVERY customer that walks through the doors. We love it!”
- Saul David
While many furniture stores have a few customization options when it comes to the furniture you find in their showroom, Interior Define says instead of offering only a few customization options, they offer thousands - still at an affordable price, too.
You can visit their Define Studio in Dallas, Texas.
“I was so impressed with everything at Interior Define! The showroom was gorgeous and everyone was so helpful. We worked with Monica and she was the absolute sweetest - so patient and knowledgeable about everything. The process for making my selections and getting my sofa ordered was super smooth. Love that everything is customizable!”
- Alexa Mason
"We’ve made a few purchases from Cantoni and have always been satisfied with the service, and especially the quality of their furniture. The showroom is inviting, and well-thought-out. I, especially, love the kitchen design area. Granted, the prices are on the higher end, but the quality is phenomenal (If you have to move, be sure you have VERY strong movers, because the furniture is HEAVY). You can also customize certain pieces, particularly sofas. Salespeople are always knowledgeable, friendly, and will spend as much (or as little) time as you would like - definitely not aggressive or pushy. We’re not rich or wealthy, so shopping here can’t be a regular event. But, when the budget allows, we will certainly purchase our furniture at Cantoni.”
- Ms. Tyra
