For the first time since 2023, the Living by Design Virtual Showhouse returns, bringing together 11 top designers and 12 sponsoring brands in a fully virtual experience. The showhouse encourages designers to explore new interpretations of the dream home, with no limits on budget or installation. This freedom allows rare finds and fully realized creative visions to take center stage. Produced by Embello, this year’s showcase features LUXE Interiors + Design as the National Media Partner. Set digitally in Dallas, Texas, the house officially opens for tours in Spring 2026.
“As we enter the third year of our virtual format, we continue to reimagine what a showhouse can be,” says Laiza Cors, founder and CEO of Embello. “With the help of our national media partner, LUXE Interiors + Design, we’re making exceptional design accessible to everyone.
