Based in San Antonio, Texas, Elaina Fagan Darden of Elaina Fagan Design is an interior designer and creator of classic, cheerful style from interiors to watercolors and textiles. Elaina grew up influenced by women with fabulous taste, especially her mother and two grandmothers. Her early exposure to great design, combined with an aptitude for space planning and technical design elements, made a career in interior design inevitable.
After graduating with honors from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, Elaina achieved a lifelong goal in 2022 by opening her eponymous firm, Elaina Fagan Design, a creative studio focusing on projects throughout Texas and beyond. Today we are taking a peek inside her stunning family home in Corpus Christi, Texas.
This charming, coastal-inspired home is the perfect balance of old and new, mixing heirloom antiques with custom furnishings. Fagan brilliantly juxtaposes a backdrop of crisp white with playful hand-painted de Gournay wallpapers, exquisite passementerie, a pretty palette of paint, dreamy watercolors, chintz, and sumptuous fabrics. The wood-paneled dining room/library with hidden wine room is genius, and the ocean views throughout are divine. This timeless home is the perfect blend of Coastal Classic and Grandmillennial style, and we simply couldn’t love it more!

I love, love, love the interiors of this home!!! So light and airy. The exception being the dark, wood paneled room which is the perfect place to host a tasting from the wine cellar. So many gorgeous antique chandeliers throughout. I adore the one in the pink powder room. So many other wonderful things I could say. Thank you for sharing this beautifully designed home with us!
WOW what a home! When I saw the master bedroom I said “Wow are you kidding me, WHAT A VIEW!” It looks as if you are ON the ocean! What a gorgeous thoughtfully decorated home. Beautiful pops of color. Thanks for sharing!
Love the wisteria above the bed!
