This Texas Home Proves Family-Friendly Design Can Still Be Chic

We’re in Coppell, Texas, visiting the home of Janelle Patton, the principal designer and owner of Lark Interiors.

A Northeasterner at heart, Janelle never expected to land in Texas—but after falling for the warm winters and even warmer people, she hasn’t looked back. Janelle’s design style is a thoughtful mix of modern and traditional, with unexpected color, vintage finds, and the occasional brass bird.

With three kids, a puppy, and a whole lot of real life happening at home, Janelle designs spaces that are not only beautiful—but built to last. From Preston Hollow to Southlake, she brings her signature style and life-friendly approach to families all over the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
