One of the most exciting aspects of buying a new-build home is being able to choose the design features and finishes that reflect your style. Whether you have every design element envisioned or you could use some professional advice, our team of experts at The Design Center are committed to helping you bring your design dreams to life.

To make your trip to our Austin design studio as enjoyable as possible, we’ve reimagined and renovated the entire space. Now, you can walk through our kitchen models and choose the right features, fixtures and finishes for you, with thousands of samples and styles on display. “I love that we’ve created a boutique space that gives our customers an intimate and personalized experience for their visit,” says design center representative Kristal Webb. “The design center is filled with so many new styles and ideas that are installed throughout the space; it’s sure to give each homeowner a fresh outlook on how they imagine their home, and get them excited about the quality and features that Empire offers. There’s something for everyone.”

Read on to see our best tips for making the decor process as seamless as possible, and walk through this new and improved space with our virtual tour below.
