Dallas has always been a celebration of individualistic style, a community of resourceful thinkers who believe in wit, are comfortable with chic, and prefer quality and point of view to glitz and reheated trends. Call it common sense or good taste, it’s a design philosophy that profoundly affects the environments we create to live, work, and play in, the styles we sanction for the sofa in the living room, the towels in the bath, and the presentation of our entrée at dinner. It’s the way we define comfort and affluence.
It’s the way of the good life in Dallas. At D, we think that deserves some attention, and we’re calling it Dallas: by Design. We’ll take you to the city’s most entertaining homes and best-dressed restaurants. We’ll lead you through the magnificent maze of fabrics, furnishings, and talented people who live in Dallas and deal in good design. We’ll dazzle, then give you the details; showcase, and then tell you where to shop.
The most welcoming, most talked-about interiors in Dallas are thoughtful composites, their pedigree not limited to showroom sojourns through the design district, nor to treks through the city’s finest retail shops, but a thoughtful combination of both. In Dallas: by Design, you’ll find the must-see, must-haves from the best of both worlds, along with updates on everything from antiquing for armoires to the most reliable source for Zolatone. We’ll edit the retail marketplace and take you to our favorite stores for fabulous finds from right off the floor. Classic furniture and fashionable fabrics, stellar lighting and artful, livable rooms: we think you’ll feel at home.
