A Charming, Coastal-Inspired Home With Designer, Elaina Fagan

Meet Elaina

Born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, Elaina grew up influenced by women with fabulous taste, especially her mother and two grandmothers. Her early exposure to great design, combined with an aptitude for space planning and technical design elements, made a career in interior design inevitable. 

Elaina’s eye for working with textiles and furnishings, her strengths in space planning and drawing, and a unique resume learning from ‘AD100’ acclaimed interior designers, sets her apart as a designer. She graduated with honors from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and has years of professional experience working on both high-end residential and hospitality projects. Elaina is a Registered Interior Designer with the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners, holds a certificate from the National Council for Interior Design Qualification, and is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art.

"I love decorating with books in any space, big or small. A stack of coffee table books is never too tall! They add an extra layer of interest to any space, plus you get to enjoy the pretty pictures on the inside."

Beauty in the Details

Effortlessly elegant, Elaina's living room boasts a bevy of blues. Our Monroe Tassel Sofa in a stunning COM velvet fabric, acts as a chic landing for an end-of-the-day cocktail or a cozy spot to curl up on during a slow weekend morning.

"I love working with the SS team to incorporate some custom fabrics my clients have selected, while utilizing their piping and trim options to easily add the finishing touches."

Elaina, thank you so much for including us in your home!

Classic and Cheerful

Elaina Fagan Darden, Texas-based interior designer, welcomes us inside her charming, coastal-inspired home, complete with custom Society Social furnishings. A de Gournay-clad entryway leads to a scenic sunroom with stunning views of the Corpus Christi Bay, an enveloping blue living room bursting with tassels and passementerie and a playful, pink powder bath.

Scenes from the Sunroom

Step inside this Palm Beach state of mind, complete with matching pink & white Nantucket Rattan Sofas, breezy linen drapery and lots of pillow play. Our Nantucket Collection features double pole rattan and a unique weaving pattern handcrafted by our team. She's perfect for the coast or the city from New England, to Texas, to Florida!

"Society Social’s fabric and color options, as well as the pieces with trim and fringe already integrated, really allow you to get that fabulous custom look without all of the extra steps!"

The Warmth of Rattan

Unapologetically feminine, Elaina's powder bath features pale pink walls, floral green shades, cheeky antiques and our Gracie Scalloped Mirror. Featuring the natural texture of split reed rattan paired with soft and sophisticated scallops, Gracie is the epitome of casual elegance.
