7 Imaginative Austin Homes We Found On Instagram

The state capital of Texas offers an eclectic mix of laidback design styles.

Known for its music, beloved for its food scene, and appealing thanks to its consistently beautiful weather, it’s no surprise everyone seems to be moving to Austin these days. The state capital of Texas offers an eclectic mix of laidback design styles and its many homes reflect these sensibilities.

While you can’t fit all of Austin in a box, taking a peek into the abodes of its most stylish residents, it’s easy to find a common thread. Natural materials are big here, with thoughtful uses of wood and woven textures often sighted. And whether the direction skews more earthy or eclectic, a strong point of view is always present.

Ahead, walk through seven creative Austin homes we spotted on Instagram that illustrate the city’s incredible diversity.

1. Calming earth tones via @camillestyles

Set on a one-acre lot filled with leafy trees and beautiful views, Camille Styles and her partner built their Austin home from the ground up over the course of two years. The interiors are awash in an earthy color palette with natural materials such as raw clay tile, woven light fixtures, and wood cabinetry. The result? A calm, zen-infused environment you’ll want to translate to your own home.

2. Farmhouse minimalism via @clairezinnecker

This Austin-based interior designer is known for her clean, calming designs that speak to pastoral sensibilities. Her home is no different, with standouts including her lovely bathroom that features a standalone tub positioned in front of a tall window that gazes out over rolling greenery. Bright details like white gauzy shower curtains and light tiles beautifully contrast the warmer tones of the wood on the floors and cabinetry.

3. Color and print layering via @sarahwittenbraker

A feast for the eyes, Sarah Wittenbraker’s home in Austin never shies from unexpected color pops or energetic print mixing. A striking black marble fireplace anchors her living room, with details like a vintage-inspired mirror, fiddle fig, and floral sofa to complement. We especially love the two-tier coffee table with book stacks and succulents for a homey finish.

4. Old meets new @shannoneddingsinteriors

With a background in fine art and interior design, it’s only natural that designer Shannon Eddings’s work speaks to a refined mix of old-world and contemporary references. This historic home in Austin she designed lovingly stays true to its traditional spirit – but with thoughtful updates. The wooden ceiling beams were painted darker to create a moody vibe, dramatic wallpaper draws the eye toward the fireplace, and a unique glass chandelier sits above a long wooden table.

5. Laidback cool via @jennperron

Austin-based creative translates the chic surf shack aesthetic to her laidback home through natural materials like mixed woods and woven light fixtures. Personalized touches come by way of ceramic and clay planters, book stacks, and a retro record player.

6. Vintage accents via @aplacetocallnoor

Vintage seller Tazeen Noor-Mclaughlin and her partner relocated from NYC to Austin and renovated their new home into a sun-drenched oasis. She outfitted the kitchen with high-back bamboo dining chairs and invested in vintage rattan lighting; both of which pop in front of the lush wall of plants situated behind.

7. Sustainably-driven motifs via @rileyblanksreed

Creative and Woke Beauty founder Riley Reed sources pieces from refurbished furniture stores, flea markets, and local social media accounts to create a home environment that all drives back to her design ethos of getting as much as possible out of as little as possible. The result is a soothing mix of textures and earth tones that feel at home in her Austin abode.
