Furnish Your Space with Laura U Design Collective
While each of these Houston showrooms offers something special, sourcing the right pieces—at the right time, for the right project—often requires a designer’s eye and her team’s expert coordination. At Laura U Design Collective, our team selects beautiful furniture, but we also curate environments that reflect each client’s aesthetic, their home’s architecture, and their family’s lifestyle.
From custom upholstery and made-to-order case goods to hard-to-find vintage objects and unique art, we handle every detail of procurement. By collaborating closely with trusted vendors and artisans, we ensure every piece fits seamlessly into a cohesive vision—down to the last sculptural sconce or handwoven rug.
