We are a small, intentional design studio rooted in the belief that the spaces we inhabit shape how we feel, connect, and move through our days.
Founded with a vision to bring Nordic design principles to the heart of Texas, Havn & Hölm Studio emerged from a deep appreciation for spaces that feel both grounded and elevated. We believe interiors should support the rhythms of daily life while creating moments of unexpected beauty.
Our approach is shaped by years of studying how people actually live—not how design magazines suggest they should. We've learned that the most successful spaces are those that feel inevitable, as if they've always been there, waiting to be discovered rather than imposed.
Based in Houston, we work with clients who value substance over trends, comfort over convention, and authenticity over perfection. Every project is a collaboration, guided by curiosity about how our clients inhabit their homes and what would make those spaces work harder for them.
We work with natural materials and measured textures to build interiors that settle the senses and create quiet order. Every element is chosen for its ability to support daily life with ease, resulting in spaces that feel grounded, balanced, and naturally timeless.
Our design philosophy centers on three principles: rootedness, warmth, and timelessness. We believe that homes should anchor you, invite you in, and transcend the moment—creating environments that feel both deeply personal and universally welcoming.
This means we edit ruthlessly, selecting only what serves the space and its inhabitants. We're not interested in filling rooms or following formulas. Instead, we listen carefully and respond thoughtfully, always with an eye toward what will endure.
We create spaces that reflect who you are, not who you think you should be. Every design choice should feel true to your life and your story.
Quality reveals itself over time. We partner with skilled artisans and source materials that age beautifully, respecting both tradition and innovation.
Every element serves a purpose. We question, refine, and edit until only the essential remains—resulting in spaces that breathe and function effortlessly.
We begin every project by listening. Understanding how you move through your days, what brings you comfort, and where your home feels out of alignment with your life.
From there, we develop a design vision that's both aspirational and attainable—spaces that challenge you to live more intentionally while supporting the beautiful mess of everyday life.
Throughout the process, we maintain close collaboration with you, our craftspeople, and the architecture itself. The best solutions often emerge from this dialogue, where constraints become creative opportunities and challenges reveal unexpected possibilities.
A thoughtful, collaborative process designed to bring clarity and confidence to your project
We start with an in-depth conversation about your vision, lifestyle, and goals. This includes a thorough walk-through of your space, discussion of your aesthetic preferences, and exploration of how you want to feel in your home.
Initial consultation · Space assessment · Vision alignment
We translate your vision into a cohesive design concept, including spatial planning, material palettes, and mood boards. This phase establishes the foundation for all decisions moving forward.
Space planning · Material selection · Concept presentation
We refine the concept, specifying every detail from architectural elements to furnishings. Custom millwork, lighting design, and material specifications are all carefully considered and documented.
Detailed drawings · Specifications · Budget refinement
We coordinate with contractors and artisans to bring the design to life, managing the project timeline and ensuring every detail meets our standards. We're present throughout installation to ensure quality and resolve any challenges that arise.
Project management · Quality oversight · Installation coordination
We complete the final styling, ensuring every element works in harmony. The result is a space that feels both finished and lived-in, ready to support your life from day one.
Final styling · Documentation · Project handover
We intentionally keep our studio small to maintain the high level of attention and care each project deserves. This allows us to be deeply involved in every phase of your project, from initial concept through final installation.
We collaborate with a trusted network of craftspeople, artisans, and specialists—each chosen for their expertise and shared commitment to quality. This approach ensures that every project benefits from both focused leadership and specialized skill.
We'd love to learn about your vision and explore how we can help bring it to life.
