Friends Austin x House Beautiful Whole Home 2025 background

Grab your favorite pair of Tecovas and your best cowboy hats because House Beautiful is jetting off to Austin, Texas, for its eighth annual Whole Home project!

In partnership with Sara Malek Barney of BANDD/DESIGN, Katie Hastings Architecture, and Rick Villani and Preston Graham of Villani & Graham, House Beautiful is producing a one-of-a-kind design showcase meant to blend the best parts of a boutique hotel experience with the comforts and warmth of home. 

The 2025 Whole Home lies nestled in the laidback West Austin neighborhood of Deep Eddy, which has close ties to both nature and the local community. This 3,800 sq. ft. home evokes a modern, tri-level treehouse, thoughtfully designed to serve as the perfect space for elevated entertaining. 

Purchase tickets to tour the 2025 Whole Home on select dates between October 16-26. 

For the second time, House Beautiful has enlisted a team of all-female interior designers to take on this project. Each designer brings a unique and spirited perspective to the home: 

Sarah Malek Barney • Rydhima Brar Caitlin Creer • Amber Guyton • Kathy Kuo • Amber Lewis • Kim Lewis • Leah O'Connell

Thank you to the 2025 Whole Home brand partners who contributed to the creation of this new residence: Artika, Brizo, Coyuchi, Fabricut, Fibreworks, Four Hands, GM Energy, Harlequin, Hunter Douglas, Lee Industries, Minted, Omlet, Phillip Jeffries, Samsung, Sherwin-Williams, The Container Store, TimberTech, Trane, and Visual Comfort & Co. 

Like what you see? You'll have the chance to purchase the exquisite furniture displayed in this beautifully designed home. Stay tuned for more information about purchasing items from the home coming soon.
