Joshua Rice has built a sterling reputation for his collector’s eye and sleight-of-hand mix of materials and textures. At first glance, his rooms seem to be a simple yet sophisticated blend of neutrals with accents of eye-catching art; more cerebral factors are at play.

Rice considers every element of what makes a room both chic and comfortable, and what furnishings will make his client’s hearts sing. A Tulsa, Oklahoma native, Rice graduated from Texas Christian University with an Interior Design degree.

After spending the mid-90s with the acclaimed Dallas-based architecture and design firm Bodron/Fruit, he struck out on his own in early 2007 to hone his warm, luxurious modernism.
