Best Designers in Dallas

D Home is happy to recognize the area’s outstanding design talent with our Best Designers awards. We survey local showrooms and designers, asking them to nominate up to 10 design firms for consideration.

All winners will be featured in the Spring 2025 issue of D Home.

Nominations Closed

Nominations for next year's program will open in October 2025.

The Process

STEP 1

+ NOMINATIONS

D Home asks builders, interior designers, and architects to nominate professionals whose work they feel is the best in Dallas.

Nominating professionals must:

Be a builder, interior designer, showroom, or architect
Have worked with, or be familiar with the work of, their nominees

STEP 2

+ VETTING PROCESS

Votes are tallied and sorted by D Home’s editorial staff.

The staff does not count:

Self-nominations
Duplicate ballots
Nominations from non-qualifying industry professionals

STEP 3

+ INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PANEL REVIEW

The remaining votegetters are vetted by an anonymous panel of esteemed members of the building, interior design, and architect community. D Home also conducts an internal review to ensure all feedback and nominees are carefully taken into consideration. All winners must be actively working and maintain a Dallas office.

D Home editors finalize the list by verifying each designer’s:

Portfolio, notes from external panelists, and current active status

STEP 4

+ NOTIFICATION

We mail and email congratulations letters to the Best Designers.

After notification, our sales team is allowed to view the list and offer advertising opportunities to winners.

We play fair:

Advertising dollars have zero impact on the creation of this list.
Best Designers are featured in our Spring issue and marked as a Best Designer in our online directory whether they advertise or not.

About D Home

D Home was created to share with its sophisticated readers ideas and inspiration for living a beautiful life in Dallas.

D Home has won myriad national awards for editorial excellence, and much credit goes to the individuals whom we cover: the builders, designers, and architects who make our job easy. We challenge the stereotype of suburban sprawl, and instead cleave to a warm and gracious world of beautiful houses and gardens, whether they are classic or modern, two-story Georgians, or high-rise penthouses. Our aim is to support the creativity of our local professionals, and in doing so influence the aesthetic conversation in our city.

FAQ

How do I make nominations?

Nominations are now closed.

Why can’t I nominate an individual designer?

Because many designers work in teams, D Home wants to honor the contributions of every team member. This year, we are naming firms as winners, rather than individuals.

However, if an individual is not part of a firm, rather just a one-person design business, you can still nominate them! Simply enter their name in the Design Firm field.

Can all designers at my firm vote?

Each showroom or firm may submit a single ballot.

How are winners selected?

D Home will compile the nominations after voting ends, and the firms with the highest number of votes will be put on the list.

Can I nominate myself?

Self-nominations will not count.

When will winners be announced?

D Home will notify winners in December and they will be featured in the Spring issue of D Home.
