The LUXE Connect Podcast Explores Marie Flanigan’s Design For A Character-Filled Houston Home
In Houston, Marie Flanigan deftly wove together a collection of seemingly disparate inspirations (the London dining scene, coastal charm and a classic American art collection) to create a character-rich estate for one Texas family. Featured on the cover of LUXE Interiors + Design’s May/June 2026 Houston issue, the home unfolds as a layered story, revealing new details and discoveries from room to room. In episode 3 of the LUXE Connect Podcast, Flanigan joins Texas Homes Editor Lara Hallock to take listeners behind the scenes of the design process.
The residence balances contemporary touches with traditional elements to achieve a deeply curated aesthetic. Consider the gold wallpaper enveloping the curvaceous dining room, where burgundy drapes and matching chairs amplify the drama; the blush-toned home office, where rich textures set the stage for a series of Andy Warhol’s Flowers paintings; and the cozy lattice-wrapped patio that extends the home’s welcoming spirit outdoors. This level of thoughtfulness is a hallmark of Flanigan’s design ethos. “I think it’s easy for a designer to kind of get in the rhythm of doing the same thing over and over again because of efficiency,” Flanigan shares in the episode. “But we love to challenge ourselves to find out what our client’s point of view is and how they see the world, and then painting our canvas to be an interpretation of that.”
