When the view is this good, the room doesn’t need to compete with it.

For this Chicago apartment, we kept the larger pieces quiet and let texture, art and a few slightly unexpected pieces bring the personality. Warm woods, shaggy wool, woven details and just enough color against all that glass and skyline.

A home that feels collected and comfortable, 40-something floors up.

Took my dad and brother for coffee at Alloy Autohaus today, two people who know infinitely more about classic cars than I ever will.

They came for the cars. I came for the space. We all left very happy.

There’s something particularly good about being surrounded by beautiful things that have been cared for, preserved and allowed to age well. Cars, furniture, books, buildings… probably not a coincidence that I’m drawn to all of it.

Also adding this to my list of very good Austin places to work remotely or have a meeting. Coffee amongst beautiful old cars? I’ll take it!

Well, this is cool.

Guta Louro Designs was named one of Austin Home’s Best Interior Designers of 2026

I moved to Austin in 2020, not knowing exactly what this city would become for me. Four years later, I launched Guta Louro Designs here. Six years since the move, Austin is now home, my work has changed and grown, and apparently we’re already one of the best in town. 🥹

Feeling very lucky to get to make beautiful, interesting, deeply personal homes for people, and very grateful to the clients who trust me to do it.

Thank you, Austin Home Magazine. This one feels special.

Good rooms aren't built from a checklist of things you're allowed to do. They come together when the things you love somehow start making sense together.

I've been thinking a lot about what people actually need from an interior designer.

After years of working on homes at different scales, in different cities and in very different ways, I've realized there's a pretty big gap between doing it yourself and handing your entire home over to a full-service design studio.

Sometimes you already have the contractor, you just need someone to make the design decisions and select the finishes they'll execute.

Sometimes you have an architect and builder handling the drawings and construction, but still need someone to develop the interiors and make sure all of those materials, fixtures and details actually work together.

And sometimes there isn't a renovation at all. You have good taste, you know what you like, and you're perfectly happy ordering the furniture yourself, you just need an experienced eye to figure out what belongs where, what works together, and how to make the whole thing feel considered.

The more I've thought about it, the more I've realized that not everyone needs all of interior design.

Sometimes you just need the designer.

So we've been quietly working on a few new ways to work with our studio. Ways that give you access to our experience, perspective and design direction for the part of the process where you actually need it.

They're being added to our studio now, and I'm very excited to finally start sharing them with you.

More soon. 🤍

Fabric is one of those things I can happily look at for hours.

The color, the texture, the tiny details you only notice when you get close...

A few fabric houses I find myself coming back to again and again. Some playful, some beautifully restrained, all very good at what they do.

Clarence House, Pierre Frey, Élitis, Malabar, Jim Thompson & Métaphores.

Which one would you bring home?

We went to Utah to escape the Texas heat… and somehow brought it with us.

Our hiking plans didn’t quite survive the combination of a stroller, rocky trails and a very hot week, so we traded the mountains for the Kimball arts festival on Main Street...which was way more aligned with ny idea of vacation anyway 😅

A few things that caught my eye along the way.
