Welcome to La Porte Decor

La Porte Decor Firm is a full-service decorating and design firm offering both contracting services and a line of handmade luxury decor. Through our boutique, we bring your desired aesthetic to life with handcrafted pieces, refined materials, and evocative details that blend artistry with function.

If there’s something you crave that we don’t yet create, we’ll personally curate or custom-design it—because your vision deserves to exist.


Who We Are

We are a woman-owned small business based in the heart of Canyon Lake, Texas. Much of the hands-on craftsmanship is done by our founder herself, whose eye for sensual detail and old-world beauty guides every creation.

For specialized or large-scale projects, we collaborate with a select network of carefully chosen artisans and subcontractors, each an expert in their craft. This ensures every project—no matter the scale—is completed with precision, passion, and unmistakable quality.


Our Specialty Styles

The ”creme de le crème” of our work is deeply inspired by old French design, with three alluring  variations:

  • French Countryside – serene relaxation, and comfort, with the elegant spoils  of royal life.
  • Moody Victorian – dark and deep, often luxurious or  with an antique academia tone, very emotionally rich
  • French Farmhouse – rustic simplicity  with grace, charmingly imperfect 

Each style evokes comfort, curiosity, and a sense of indulgence


The Meaning Behind The Name

La Porte—French for “The Gate”—is both literal and symbolic. It represents the threshold between reality and reverie. An alluring escape to beauty, mystery, and seduction.


Our Philosophy

At La Porte Decor, we believe design should awaken your fantasies through invigorating your senses. 

Your space is more than where you live or work—it’s a reflection of your desires, a place to fully immerse yourself in how you wish to feel.

Our mission is to create spaces and pieces that stir curiosity, tease sensuality and playfully enjoy luxury.
