Designs on You: Texas

Tucked away in the beautiful, laid-back Austin neighbourhood of Bouldin Creek, here, you'll find quirky shops, cool cafes and family-run Mexican restaurants that wholeheartedly embrace the whole "Keep Austin Weird" vibe.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen and living area is impeccably styled, with plenty of natural light, high-end finishes and comfy seating. Enjoy direct access to the backyard, where string lights and a fire pit make for atmospheric evenings outdoors. For those who need to get some work done, there's a dedicated office that comes equipped with a Macbook so you can travel light and leave your laptop at home.

Meanwhile, two bedrooms provide soothing sanctuaries to retreat to at the end of the day. The spacious main bedroom even has its own sofa, plus the added benefit of outdoor access through the French doors.

Stroll along quaint residential streets lined with 1920s bungalows and in half an hour you'll find yourself gazing at the Colorado River from Auditorium Shores. Here, the Long Center for the Performing Arts hosts regular events, plus there are skyline views to enjoy.
