The Living by Design Virtual Showhouse is officially open for virtual tours, spotlighting 11 top designers and 12 sponsoring brands in a fully virtual experience. Set digitally in Texas, the showhouse features designs unconstrained by budgets, giving designers the freedom to explore what is possible. Produced by Embello, this year’s showcase also includes LUXE Interiors + Design as the national media partner.

Of course, any room I design for any showhouse displays my unleashed creativity, but in this case, it’s more liberating to be boundlessly creative when there are no logistical or financial constraints to keep me in check.” See more designers’ comments on the Living by Design Virtual Showhouse in the image gallery.

“Virtual showhouses make inspiring, high-level design more accessible, opening the door to spaces that are not limited by budget, materials, or location, and can be experienced anytime, anywhere,” says Laiza Cors, founder and CEO of Embello. “Now in our third year, the program continues to expand what a virtual showhouse can achieve without constraints, allowing visitors to move through the home, interact with the spaces, and shop the designs along the way.”
Digitally created by YouSee Studio’s 3D visualization team, the showhouse features detailed renderings with furnishings and finishes chosen by each designer. This year’s showhouse is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath home and features 13 spaces by award-winning design influencers from around the country, including returning Living by Design Showhouse designer and Emmy-nominated TV host Bobby Berk, LUXE Gold List designers Corey Damen Jenkins and Lori Paranjape and more.
