Home & Texture's House Tours Gives You An Inside Look At Your Favorite Creatives' Homes
Inspiration can be found all around us when designing a new home or renovating an existing space. Social media has become a huge part of our lives, and Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok all have design inspiration from interior designers and creatives around the world. We love scrolling and getting inspiration from the creators and designers we follow. Getting an exclusive tour of their homes and hearing about their design process would be amazing, and we did just that with our new series: House Tours.
Journey inside some of the most stunning homes by Black and multicultural designers. Whether you’re into maximalist spaces or contemporary homes, House Tours amplifies creatives and designers, sharing their design styles and cultural creativity. In each episode, you’ll hear expert advice and be inspired to curate the space you’ve always dreamed of.
Home & Texture ventured to Memphis, Tennessee, in the first installment of House Tours. This city is vibrant, filled with history, and known for barbecue, blues music, and southern hospitality. Memphis is also home to a hub of incredible creatives, artists, and designers.
We hope you tune in to House Tours for the beautiful homes and insights, and leave with inspiration.
