Beyond Unique Flower Mound House Brings a Four Seasons Vibe to Texas’ Most Livable Small City

A comfortable nest fit for frequent travelers who are seldom home and want their base to project the esthetics of a luxury hotel but with a personal touch? Think a Four Seasons vibe in Flower Mound, Texas.

That was the task assigned to Louisiana-based designers Lance Thomas and Drew Hoffpauir,whose interior design and home store Room Service attained the wealthy clients — a CEO and successful businesswoman and her  husband, a retired businessman — through a family referral.

Before you scratch your head over Flower Mound, note that it was named No. 1 “Most Livable Small City in the U.S.”  in April by SmartAsset, a personal finance tech company. The affluent suburb in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth North Texas area (Flower Mound’s about a 30-minute drive from downtown Dallas) also ranks as Texas’ best city to live in according to Chamber of Commerce.org

In business together for two years, the gents describe their design esthetic as “Southern traditional  mixed with a current and modern twist bringing a sophisticated sense of style to each and every project.”

Their portfolio includes a number of both prominent and historical homes, primarily in Louisiana, but also in Dallas, Denver and of course, this 6,000 square foot home in Flower Mound.

While the comfortable luxury of a five-star hotel was the clients’ goal, they asked for a look that was curated contemporary and somewhat minimal. In fact, when decorating the living room, the duo recalls, “We wanted to create a formal area that felt like a cozy, swanky hotel lounge.”

“The spaces have a very clear voice, each one unique to our homeowner,” Thomas and Hoffpauir wrote in response to questions via email. “You can get a feel for who lives in our spaces without ever meeting them in person.”

Each project, they agree, should have a clear voice, that each person should feel comfortable implementing their individuality throughout their home. Thus,  the designers for the master bedroom chose a velvet pinstripe upholstery alluding to a business suit, a silk rug reminiscent of an Hermès scarf and the ocelot chair as a reference to a gorgeous pair of Louboutin heels.

Many of the furnishings selected are from Ambella Home, some custom. One of the more interesting design pieces is the solid concrete tub from Native Trails in the master bath.
