The studioVol. 10Southlake, Texas

We decorate.You celebrate.

A small Texas team designing, installing, and removing the outdoor moments your home is supposed to have.

Every season, every porch, on a calendar. The work is the catalog, and the catalog is short on purpose.

The mission, in one line: the home people walk over to ask about, ready before you remember to ask.

What we do

Arbor & Ember is a productized home styling brand. You pick a package, we design it to your facade, we install it on a date we both agree to, and we remove it when the season is over. One price covers the whole arc.

Not a contractor. Not a heritage catalog. A storefront for outdoor moments, run with the rigor of a retail product.

02The way

Three principles

Three principles

  1. 01

    Curated.

    Every package is a finished idea, not a starting point for a quote. The catalog is the work. Constraint keeps the look recognizable.

  2. 02

    Confident.

    We design once, then we install it well. The design team is the same one in the truck. There is no handoff to lose the thread.

  3. 03

    Complete.

    Design, install, and removal are one purchase. Storm refreshes are part of the price. Nothing about the work asks anything of you.

03The line

Six commitments

Six things we will not compromise on.

  1. 01

    Every porch is built around one idea.

    Not a checklist of elements. One composition, tuned to the home and the moment. Everything else supports that.

  2. 02

    We source real materials.

    Dried florals, foraged branches, real wood, natural textiles. If it photographs like a prop, we don’t use it.

  3. 03

    The quote is the quote.

    Flat package pricing. No surprise fees, no extras at the end. If something changes mid-install, we cover it or we call you first.

  4. 04

    Install, style, and remove are one purchase.

    Design, delivery, install, and take-down are a single number. We put it up. We come back and take it down. You never touch a zip tie.

  5. 05

    One house at a time.

    We take a limited number of bookings per week, on purpose. Every porch gets the afternoon it deserves, never rushed to hit a quota.

  6. 06

    The porch is our responsibility until we take it down.

    Wind, rain, a last-minute color change, a refresh after a storm. We come back. That is the job.

04 / Where

Dallas-Fort Worth, every season since 2025.

Six zones across the DFW metroplex, fifty-plus cities, more porches than the team admits to remembering. We expand by city, not by state, so the design standard never thins.

05 / A note

A note from the team

We started this because the front of a home should look ready, and almost no one we knew enjoyed making it that way. So we made it ours, on a calendar. We hope yours is one of them this season.
