Designing for Central Texas, the Houston Area and Everything In-between
Let’s talk about design in Texas. It is true we are in the west, but there is no mandate to decorate in rawhide and cowboy boots or chicken coops and windmills. If you prefer those things it doesn’t mean you are lacking in taste. It means you need a plan for comfort, a plan for function, a plan for color, a plan for a budget and a plan of attack. With good, experienced, planned interior design the results are a design to make the most out of your home.
Jancy Ervin Interiors consultation is built on the belief that any house can become a source of pride. It is simple: it’s all in the details. Color, style, and function turn a place into a retreat.

Choose the Right Designer
When looking for a good designer, be objective. You are hiring an expert, a knowledgeable person, a resolute person, an honest colleague, a guide down the winding path of art and function. Style is important but a good interior designer will be versatile and a good listener. A bully with excellent taste and connections is still a bully. The best doctors have a bedside manner.
The most effective interior designers have a client-side manner. If it is going to work out exactly right, the designer and the client work together, sharing ideas and considering each other’s consultations with a partnering ear. Think of it this way, it’s the design that is important and a good designer will be able to identify your needs for your design. Jancy Ervin Interior Design has these suggested discussions:
- Is the project a new build, a renovation or one room that needs change?
- Will the design be top to bottom—everything, or need to coordinate with furniture, rugs, window treatments that already exist?
- What is the budget for this design? No one wants a surprise at the end of a beautiful fresh look.
A thoughtful designer treats questions like these as a blueprint. The project builds on this information. At Jancy Ervin Interiors the design begins and ends with thoughtful research and consideration mixed with innovative function and flow direction. That’s the way any design should go. That’s the way you want it.
Large-scale Construction to Small-scale Updates
Today it is not uncommon for urban dwellers deciding to move to the country desiring a restful, serene “homestead.” That is wonderful and it is possible. There’s more to that than those simple words though. Sunny Texas acreage, 1 acre to 85 or more takes planning and maintenance.
The idea of a ranch is wonderful, but a new build takes time, and the city dwellers usually bring pieces of their urban life with them to the country. This can work but the trained designer is what you need.
Jancy Ervin Interiors provides the guidance and design for every sized project. The goal is a beautiful home reflecting a natural and relaxed atmosphere. Do not think of a project as too large or too small. They all have their parameters, and a small project is just as important as a large one. Every project is approached with care and creativity.
