Modern Georgian

Set in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood, this recently renovated home was further refined and furnished, with a focus on key entertaining spaces including the dining room, lounge, and bar. The approach centered on elevating the interiors—introducing a more personal point of view through material, lighting, and finish.
In the dining room, the design draws on the homeowners’ time in London, balancing traditional craftsmanship with a more modern Southern sensibility. A hand-painted De Gournay wallcovering wraps the space in soft movement, while a sculptural chandelier and tailored furnishings bring structure and contrast. The palette is restrained but expressive, allowing texture and detail to carry the room.
A former study was reimagined as a fully integrated bar, anchored by a backlit onyx wall that casts a warm, ambient glow. Surrounded by deep millwork and layered materials, the space shifts easily from functional to atmospheric—an intimate counterpoint to the home’s more formal rooms.
