Chris & Mae's Design

Chris & Mae's Design Houston based studio specializing in creating contemporary spaces that are functional, beautiful and appear as curated over time.

Texture, layers and wow moments are our thing! We skip the monotony of ""matchy-matchy" to produce homes that reflect you.

Light. Height. Breathing room.
Back to work after an extended holiday weekend… but coming home should still feel like a reset.

For this project, we went vertical—maximizing the 22ft ceiling height and rethinking what a compact space can be. Instead of an afterthought or catch-all, this room was intentionally designed to feel like a true sanctuary of respite.

How important is a well designed foyer to the start of your day? Very.

For this home, our clients enter and exit through the foyer. Walking down the stairs with a grand art piece and chandelier in view is a daily reminder of the fruits of your labor. A last look in the mirror sparks the confidence needed to close that deal today.

Well designed function that evokes positive emotion. Chefs kiss.

Vision(noun)- the ability to think of or plan the future with imagination and wisdom. We knew this alcove in Project Nevada had the potential of much more than just shelving. The custom floating mirrors expand the space visually and serve function for a “last look” before heading down the elevator and out of the door.
