Studio Croft Modern Homes & Signature Stays

Design meets precision.✨ Layered motorized shades and drapery open seamlessly across sliding doors, clerestory, and side windows. All automated to run on a custom schedule tied to time of day, sunrise, and sunset.

This is smart design for real life: sun control, privacy, and elevated living at the tap of a button (or no tap at all).

Sneak peek: these drapery panels and custom hardware are about to land in a travel-inspired lounge I’m designing in Willis, Texas. It’s a mix of modern luxury and classic aviation ✈️cues: clean lines, rich textures, and materials that feel just as tailored as they look.

We’re still mid-install, but you can already feel the atmosphere taking shape. When window treatments are designed into the plan early, they don’t just cover glass. They control light, elevate scale, and finish the space like nothing else can.

The full story (and full install) is coming next week in a new blog post where I’ll break down how I approach window treatments from the ground up.

Stay tuned. This one’s worth a closer look.

While in Florence, I spent time exploring some of the city’s iconic leather shops — the kind of places where you can smell the craftsmanship before you even step inside.

Every piece told a story. Not just of style, but of origin. Who made it. Where it came from. How it was handled, tanned, stitched, and finished.

It reminded me how much overlap there is between luxury fashion and interiors. At the highest level, they share the same values; quality materials, skilled craftsmanship, and a clear connection to the makers and methods behind the product.

Whether it’s a leather bag or a lounge chair, great design starts with knowing your source. That’s why I seek out furniture and home goods with the same attention to materiality and process that you’d find in a well-made jacket.

Italian leather is more than a luxury finish. It’s a lesson in care, longevity, and quiet confidence.

Because what we bring into our homes should be just as considered as what we wear.

Back in The Studio, but still thinking in Italian.
⁠
I just returned from nearly a month in Italy! 🇮🇹 Not just vacation, but a full-on creative reset. From vineyard lunches in Tuscany to the quiet precision of the Ferrari Museum, I saw it all through a designer’s eye.⁠
⁠
In this week’s Design Thoughts, I’m sharing what I brought back with me: inspiration, spatial details, hospitality done right, and a reminder that design is always about how a place makes you feel.⁠

I’m excited and honored to serve the Conroe WCE chapter!

✨We are delighted to announce WCE’s newest local leader, Amanda Croft of Studio Croft Modern Homes & Signature Stays

✨As a Local Leader, Amanda, together with Marilyn Kasmiersky, will host WCE’s Coffee & Connection Networking & Mastermind Events for our Conroe, TX chapter.

✨Learn a little more about Amanda:
I'm Amanda Croft, a Registered Interior Designer and founder of Studio Croft, a modern interior design firm based in Willis, Texas. With over 17 years of experience across corporate, healthcare, education, vacation rental, and luxury residential spaces, I bring a refined, functional approach to high-end homes. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Bowling Green State University and am NCIDQ-certified through the Council for Interior Design Qualification. At Studio Croft, I lead with the belief that place matters—crafting elevated, design-forward spaces that reflect each client’s unique identity.

Beginning in 2024, I also became the host and curator of Modern Stays Texas, a growing collection of thoughtfully designed vacation rentals that blend modern comfort with architectural style—offering guests a unique and memorable experience rooted in design.

Originally from northern Ohio, I now call Texas home, where I live with my husband and our four children. I'm fueled by good coffee, meaningful travel, and the creative energy that comes from balancing business ownership with family life. Whether designing for clients or curating my own spaces, I’m passionate about creating environments that inspire connection, beauty, and intentional living.

When both of your clients are over six feet tall, “standard size” just doesn’t cut it.

This sectional became the foundation of the Magnolia Forest living room — customized from the inside out. We extended the seat depth and back height, reconfigured recliner placement to match how they actually use the space, and upholstered it in a richly grained leather that will only get better with time.

Comfort, scale, proportion: every decision was made for the way they live. Because true luxury isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about designing pieces that fit your life with intention.
