A HOME design CENTER
A nother new building will break ground soon on Market Street—a 4,000-square- foot home design center and showroom from Austin Designer Chris Beach. A Gulf-side satellite for his Austin-based Decorum Home + Design, the ground-floor space will offer accents, lamps, and rugs for purchase, but it also will serve as a planning center for anyone looking to design a coastal home.
“There will be take-away items and giftables, combining a home store with interior design services,” Chris says. A homeowner at Cinnamon Shore himself, Chris has valuable experi-
ence working on projects in the commu- nity, with more than twenty completed or in various stages. Beyond his design expertise, his work is informed by person- al history. “I grew up in Houston, and my grandparents had a beach house in Galves- ton,” he says. “I have very fond memories of always being there and spending family time at the beach.” A fan of wallpaper and use of color in a beach home, Chris has fun designing more whimsical rooms on the coast than owners may try in a primary residence. To get a look at his creative style, clients can
walk through four condos on the upper levels of the three-story Market Street building. They can study the two- and three-bedroom residences for ideas and inspiration, then head downstairs to shop or plan their own beach interiors.
