Spec homes in Dallas’s private school corridor are breaking the mold—thanks to Emily Vafa’s hands-on approach. Instead of playing it safe with cookie-cutter finishes, she’s all about thoughtful details that make each room feel unique, yet still cohesive. It’s not just about looks, either: Vafa’s lived in several of her own projects, so she knows firsthand how much a missing trash pull-out or awkward layout can impact daily life. Her secret? Invest in great lighting and flooring, mix up the hardware, and always leave space for families to make it their own. What design details do you think make a house truly livable? #Home #DallasHomes #HomeDesign
