RIa Urs - Dallas Interior Designer

Ria Urs

Owner & Principal Lead Designer

With a deep-rooted passion for well-designed spaces, I strive to bring a fresh perspective to interior design that combines technical precision with creative vision.

While my career initially began in the tech sector following a master's degree in Operations and logistics and Information Technology, my true passion has always been interior design. The realization that interior design could harmoniously merge the technical precision of engineering with the boundless creativity it offers led me to make a decisive shift towards aligning the two fields. In 2020, I transformed this newfound passion into a business, focusing on innovative solutions alongside design aesthetics.

Guided by the core principles of expecting the unexpected and maintaining clear communication, I navigate the design process with a focus on effective communication to overcome challenges and turn them into victories. My top priority is understanding my clients’ needs and ensuring their projects align with their expectations. I find joy in the intricate details of creating personalized spaces for each client.

Design goes beyond selecting pieces; it involves creating flow, optimizing space usage, and ensuring every element serves a purpose, whether for beauty, functionality, or both.

Building meaningful relationships with each client is a cherished aspect of my work. We can craft truly unique spaces together by blending creativity with technical expertise. Understanding the demands of busy lifestyles, I aim to simplify and enhance my clients' lives through our collaborative design process. Let's embark on an inspirational journey together, sharing visions, input, and feedback as we celebrate your personal style transformation.

As the wife of a busy physician, mother to our three-year-old daughter and raising my 16-year-old niece, and a devoted mom to our three cats and two dogs, I know firsthand the demands of balancing a bustling household. I rely on smart home integration and functional, livable designs to ensure my family is comfortable in our home, so I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with my clients. In my rare moments of downtime, I savor a good cup of coffee and delight in cooking for my beloved family.

Ria did a wonderful job on designing my space. She really took the time to discuss with me my ideas to get a sense of my needs and style. Her communication throughout the process has been phenomenal so I’ve always known when to expect things from her. She’s been responsive to my feedback and to exploring options that fit my design preference. I look forward to working with Ria on more design projects!

I really enjoyed working with Ria, she was great at taking direction and finding the look you had in mind, but any time you weren't quite sure what to do with a space she was quick to offer guidance.  I think she went above and beyond to make the whole process enjoyable and as easy as possible.

I was looking for something more polished for my main bedroom. Ria created a beautiful, custom design plan for me based on my preferences and how we use the room. Would highly recommend.

I needed a rental space decorated after my divorce and I was on a budget. Ria came in and understood what I wanted to accomplish and listened to my feedback throughout the process. Although we went slightly over budget, in the end my home now feels like "me" and is soooooo comfortable and cozy when I need to relax and decompress in the evenings after work.

I debated only giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to being slightly over budget (I wish there was a 4.99 rating), but this was a near-ideal outcome in terms of how much I enjoy the spaces she decorated - so 5 stars it is!!!

Thanks Ria for an incredible job!

I truly enjoyed working with Ria as my designer. Our house looks beautiful. I would highly recommend her as an interior designer for your home.

Ria did a great job with my project. She was patient and took the time to get to know everything I was looking for. Throughout the whole process she was in constant communication with me about how work was going, what issues came up, and how she was helping to take care of them. She was very frank about prices and timelines, but also worked really hard to help me find the right style and stay within budget.  At first I wasn't sure I wanted to spend money on a designer, but I'll definitely be reaching out to her for future projects.
