Our process begins with you. Through thoughtful conversations and insightful questionnaires, we explore how you live, what you love, and the feeling you want your space to evoke. We listen closely, taking time to understand your unique story before laying the groundwork. With measurements, as-built drawings, and a structured project schedule, we ensure clarity and alignment from the start, setting the stage for a seamless journey ahead.
We believe the journey of creating your space should be just as meaningful as the space itself. Our process is centered around you, guiding each step with purpose, collaboration, and care. From the first conversation to the final installation, we’re committed to creating spaces that are authentic, lasting, and deeply connected to your vision.
Uncover Your Vision
With your vision in mind, we begin shaping your space. We explore layouts, materials, and finishes, crafting presentations and 3D renderings that bring ideas to life. This phase is a collaboration—your input refines every detail, ensuring the design is both personal and intentional. Through careful revisions, we hone the concept until it feels just right. Once finalized, we prepare for the next phase, transforming ideas into reality with purpose and precision.
Bringing Ideas to Life
With the design finalized, we shift focus to execution. Whether overseeing construction or curating furnishings, we manage every detail with care and precision. We coordinate with contractors, track deliveries, and oversee installation, ensuring a seamless transformation. When the space is complete, we walk through it together, fine-tuning the final touches. This is where sincerity lives—in a space that reflects who you are, a place that feels wholly yours.
Bringing It All Together
Working with Emily Lauren was a terrific experience. She is warm, energetic and organized person, and her design ideas were amazing. The whole result far exceeded my expectations, and I get so many compliments on my house when people come over! Emily helped me with my kitchen, living room, fireplace, office and master bathroom. She did all the drawings and figured out how to best utilize the space, and then helped with all the material selections, drawings, furniture, window treatments, etc. I highly recommend Emily for your design project - she is delightful to work with, and you are guaranteed to be pleased with the results and with the process!
House Franc was an absolute dream partner in the construction and renovation of our family home. Their professionalism was of the highest standard. Their attention to detail was mind blowing. Their clear, thoughtful and always timely communication was comforting. Their advocacy for us to the broader team (builder, architects, contractors) entrusted us to them and gave us confidence in the overall process. We hired House Franc as our designer to help make our home beautiful and functional (and you absolutely killed it - as is evident in their photography), though I am equally grateful for the intangibles of their services.
“I’ve worked with House Franc both personally and professionally in the past 3 years. Their work is truly top-notch. Emily's communication is thorough and clear from the beginning stages of deciding to work together, and throughout the process. Personally I have a very different style from a typical HF client and I felt like she understood my goals and use of the space, while creating something that was exactly what I wanted! The moodboards she creates for your project help nonvisualizers, like me, to understand the direction and design for your project. I cannot reiterate enough how professional the entire experience was, and I highly recommend her to my real estate clients.
Timelines vary by project. Smaller designs take 4–6 months, while larger renovations and new builds can exceed a year. We work efficiently, refining details to create a thoughtfully designed space.
How long does the process typically take?
We recommend completing the design phase before construction begins. Thoughtful planning ensures a seamless process, providing your builder with everything needed while allowing time for creativity and precision.
How far in advance should I book?
We begin with a consultation to understand your vision and scope. Then, we craft a tailored proposal with estimated hours based on the level of detail and involvement required.
How much do design services cost?
We include up to three rounds of revisions to refine your design. Additional changes are accommodated at our hourly rate, ensuring your space feels natural, personal, and deeply considered.
How do you handle revisions or changes?
Yes, we collaborate with client-selected builders to align the design vision with expert craftsmanship. If needed, we can also recommend trusted professionals from our network.
Can I use my own contractor or builder?
Yes! While we specialize in full-home designs, we take on select kitchen and bathroom remodels. These spaces require thoughtful design, and we love crafting beautiful, functional solutions.
Do you take on single-room designs?
Absolutely! We offer full-service virtual design, providing digital presentations, 3D renderings, and material samples, ensuring a seamless process no matter where you're located.
Do you work with clients outside of Austin?
