Elaina Fagan Darden is a Texas-based interior designer, textile designer, and tastemaker.

Elaina’s design sensibility is classic with flair: cheerful, layered, and a touch unexpected. Always in pursuit of creativity, Elaina draws inspiration from gardens, classical architecture, travel, and family. She believes in the philosophy of knowing the rules before breaking them, and she leans on a background in classical design to create fresh yet traditional interiors that complement contemporary lifestyles.

An expert in the balance of beauty and practicality, Elaina has a trained eye for working with textiles, furnishings, and details, as well as a honed skill set in space planning and technical drawings.

Elaina’s formal training includes a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Texas Christian University, a Certificate in Classical Architecture from the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, and years of experience under esteemed designers prior to starting her own firm.

The expertise she brings to her firm is accompanied by passion for the industry and respect for the client experience. When working on Interior Design projects, Elaina takes a client-focused approach, driven to provide a seamless and exciting experience from start to finish and deliver dream spaces to her clients.

Elaina’s proclivity for textiles in her interior design practice inspired her to create a line of her own, derived from her own artwork and printed onto beautiful, high quality fabrics and wallpapers. The collection, Elaina Darden Textiles, is available to the interior design trade through Showroom Partners.
