home furnishing, Design Guide Texas reaches both interior designers and affluent consumers
who are passionate about designing and improving their homes with statewide distribution
via newsstands, mailboxes, showrooms and industry events in all major Texas markets.
Collaborations in late 2012 led Design Guide Texas to join forces with DMNmedia, marketing
solutions group for The Dallas Morning News, FD Luxe and FD Luxe: The Wedding Edition.
The newly refreshed Design Guide Texas remains the design authority, delivering the latest
trends, techniques and inspiration to décor aficionados across all of Texas. Furnished with
enhanced editorial, superior content includes innovative knowledge and expert insight from some of the most
respected designers in the industry.
Dedicated to providing the highest-quality marketing tool, Design Guide Texas continues to grow across print and
online media channels. Partnering with Design Guide Texas presents advertisers the opportunity to network and

the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers and the METROCON Expo and Conference, offering
even more occasions for our readers and members to celebrate the best of design with us.
