Together they’ve endeared themselves to Metroplex homeowners by designing rooms that are functional, comfortable, beautiful and affordable. Your Home—Your Way

custom furniture, window treatments, bedding, floor covering, area rugs, wall covering, lighting and accessories to craft spaces in your home that are uniquely your own. They even decorate business interiors. Award-Winning Design Team
The vibrant Landry Team was recently ranked 2014’s # 1 Decorating Den
owner, from 250 franchises worldwide. Twenty-sixtime Dream Room winners, as judged by magazine editors across the country, they’ve seen their work published in national design books and magazine 25 times. Lisa and Tony Landry serve as regional managers for Tarrant County, which was also ranked Decorating Den’s
#1 region worldwide. Their recent business expansion has taken their Arlington location from 7,000 square feet to 12,000, including a 30-seat training facility. But to Lisa, that’s all icing on the cake. The real prize for her is the thousands of happy customers who have trusted The Landry Team to make their homes and businesses spectacular. No Job too Big or too Small
“We begin each project with a free consultation,” Lisa said. “We want to get to know our customers first; to understand their taste and lifestyle. We can start with one room—or a portion of a room—or we can tackle the entire house. Often we’ll design a master plan. Then we can work room by room or space by space, as the customer is ready or as their budget allows.”
After this preliminary visit, a Decorating Den Interiors designer will come to your home or business in their “Showroom on Wheels”, containing 5,000 plus samples of furniture, window treatments, flooring, area rugs, lighting, bedding, wall coverings and more. “We bring them into your lighting and view them next to your existing furniture,” Lisa said. “Because we buy wholesale from suppliers all over the world and sell at retail, we’re able to offer our clients pricing that they would get if they spent hours shopping on their own, but we come to them and our design services are free. Together we create professionally designed spaces, personalized for them. It’s truly one-stop shopping, as we handle the project from design to their ‘big reveal’, overseeing every step of the way.” Worldwide Leaders
Established in 1969, Decorating Den has over a million satisfied customers worldwide. They have five popular decorating books in print and are frequently published in national design magazines and books. They’ve been ranked #1 Home Furnishing Franchise in North America and
#1 Interior Decorating Service Company by Entrepreneur Magazine. “The Decorating Den philosophy is to make decorating fun and personal for our customer,” Lisa said. “The thing I hear most often from my clients is, ‘This is so easy. Why have I been doing it on my own, all these years?’ When we bring all the elements from our ‘Showroom on Wheels’ into a customer’s home or business, it helps them understand how their rooms will look and feel. If there’s a product they want to incorporate that we don’t offer, we can provide them with personal shopping service at an hourly fee. But nine times out of ten, they discover we have exactly what they want.” If you thought professional home decorating was out of your price range, think again. With a wide variety of budget ranges, The Landry Team at Decorating Den Interiors will help with whatever size project you’re ready to begin. They can make your home spaces unique and exquisitely yours. And they can do it at a price you’ll feel great about paying.
