DESIGN STRATEGY

VIRTUAL DESIGN

At McDonnell Design we see the big picture. We are part designer, part story teller and part curator. We believe every space has a story to tell - our favorites are rooted in the land the home is built on, the era it was built and the people that call it home. Our Texas Hill Country lifestyle’s essence is limestone, linen and patina along with a generous portion of good people, peach orchards and vineyards. We would love to help you curate your home or business’ unique story.

BEHIND THE DESIGN

McDonnell Design began as a full-service interior design firm with a passion for breathing life into older properties.  Over time, we’ve discovered something kind of remarkable: these structures aren’t just houses. They are so much more.

Whether it is where you call home or where you vacation - each home is personal. They’re meaningful. They have a story to tell: about time, about place and about the people that live there. The vision for each project may be unique but we always focus on providing the best service and attention to detail. Because your memories are made here. We help your vision become reality.

We bring our experience in a range of areas from residential design, hotels, and large commercial projects, to create unique solutions focused on your specific needs. From timeless country estates to modern contemporary homes, we are able to deliver the interior of your dreams. With our range of service offerings we are able to find a solution that fits your needs and your budget. Your peace of mind is our priority. 

OUR APPROACH

WE MAKE BEAUTIFUL SPACES for YOUR MOST PRECIOUS MOMENTS

From floor plan reviews to full service design to boutique hotels - we review every detail to create spaces that are unique to our client’s needs and lifestyles. Because we want every day to feel like a vacation when you walk in the door.

KIND WORDS

  • “Only someone with a particular kind of X-ray vision can step back and study a structure that is plain as a shoebox and see clues others missed. That someone is Belinda. She had the skills to help us create our dream home.”

    Laura

  • “We entrusted our 100 year-old home to Belinda. What she created is absolute treasure - a mix of modern and history - and definitly us.”

    David & Melissa

  • “We hired Belinda to design a primary bath remodel after a devastating flood. Belinda created a soothing spa like retreat that we never want to leave. Quite the silver lining.”

    Paul & Sheri

  • “Every time I walk in the door I feel like I am on vacation. Thank you Belinda!”
