The Living by Design Virtual Showhouse is officially open for virtual tours, spotlighting 11 top designers and 12 sponsoring brands in a fully virtual experience. Set digitally in Texas, the showhouse features designs unconstrained by budgets, giving designers the freedom to explore what is possible. Produced by Embello, this year’s showcase also includes LUXE Interiors + Design as the National Media Partner.
“Virtual showhouses make inspiring, high-level design more accessible, opening the door to spaces that are not limited by budget, materials, or location, and can be experienced anytime, anywhere,” says Laiza Cors, founder and CEO of Embello. “Now in our third year, the program continues to expand what a virtual showhouse can achieve without constraints, allowing visitors to move through the home, interact with the spaces, and shop the designs along the way.”
Digitally created by YouSee Studio’s 3D visualization team, the showhouse features detailed renderings with furnishings and finishes chosen by each designer.
