IBB AT HOME

WELCOME | SUMMER 2023

Welcome to the Summer issue of IBB at Home !

I can’t believe we are already in the middle of summer! IBB Design Fine Furnishings had their biggest inventory arrival month in history with some of the most exquisite pieces we have been blessed to procure. If you haven’t visited us lately, now is definitely the time to come by our retail store to see the new arrivals! Our outdoor furnishings and décor seem to go out as quickly as they come in, so if you are wanting to soak up the sun in style, head our way!

With all the new furnishings coming in, our visual merchandising team has been busy updating the showroom with the wonderful new items in stock curated from all over the world by our interior designers. We are beyond thrilled to showcase so many new unique pieces, and our designers can’t wait to help you create the home of your dreams! And remember, all our fantastic furnishings are available for immediate delivery from our showroom and through our interior designers.

IBB Design is growing so quickly that we would love to expand our team again! If you are a designer or know of a designer who would like to work with us or possibly join #teamIBB, send us their resume to career@ibbdesign.com or to set up an IBB trade account, email trade@ibbdesign.com. We would love to work with more designers!

Visit IBB at 5798 Genesis Ct, Frisco, Texas 75034 for some design inspiration or talk with one of our designers. We are open Monday through Friday 10 am – 5 pm and Saturdays 10 am – 6 pm.

Please enjoy this summer issue of IBB at Home. It’s an exciting time at IBB, and I hope to see you soon!

If you’re like me, you do everything possible to stay cool in the heat of the summer. Whether it’s lounging inside with the air conditioning on full blast or relaxing in the pool, our summer issue should help take your mind off of those sweltering temperatures!

Our cover story features the resort style backyard we designed for my longtime friends and clients. It’s a true paradise nestled right here in North Texas! Our color story has us dreaming of an island getaway as we explore ways to use Hawaiian Ocean in our homes. IBB designer Will Smith shows us how to enhance our home’s design through lighting, and Rita Skagerberg provides tips on using green paint colors. Judy Conley discusses the charm of a gallery hallway, and Jory Gattis showcases a fabulous dentist’s office that he designed. Kay Lewis shares the importance of making a grand statement for your entry, and Meghan Sebren highlights her favorite tips for kids’ room designs. I’m giving insight into how renderings can help convey a design plan to help clients visualize what the end result will look like. Shannon Gidney helps us style a beautiful bar, Pam Hood points out the benefits of working with a professional designer, and Karen Holloway shows us how to make the most of small spaces. Loretta Gillian of Sunrise Blinds provides window covering solutions to use in your bathroom, and Jory Gattis gives us a sneak peek into a gameroom he’s designing for a client. Angela Davidson suggests tips for sustainable living, and Maxine Burt divulges ways to make your overnight guests feel welcome. Lesa Neff shows off one of our recent model home installations for Highland Homes that you’re definitely going to want to tour in person. Maegan Brown, the Baker Mama, shares some delicious summer recipes, and Lyndsey Morgan of Neat Method gives us tips on how to achieve a stylish and organized closet.

Grab a tall glass of lemonade or iced tea and get ready to be inspired! #teamIBB has you covered to have the most stylish summer ever!
