Yates Desygn Wins Inaugural D HOME LABL Award for Most Beautiful Kids Space

Yates Desygn Wins the Inaugural D HOME LABL Award

We are incredibly honored to share that Yates Desygn has been named the winner of the inaugural D HOME LABL Award for Most Beautiful Kids Space. The LABL (Live A Beautiful Life) award recognizes the design of the girl’s room in our Designer Dream project, and to be included in the very first class of LABL winners is both humbling and deeply meaningful to our team.

About the LABL Awards

The LABL Awards celebrate spaces that elevate everyday living. Homes that are designed with intention, beauty, and heart. That ethos aligns closely with how we approach our work, especially when designing spaces for children. A child’s room is more than a place to sleep; it’s where imagination unfolds, routines are learned, creativity takes shape, and memories are made. Being recognized for a space that supports all of that is an honor we don’t take lightly.

Designing a Kids Space With Longevity and Imagination

The Designer Dream girl’s room was envisioned as a space that could grow alongside the child. It is whimsical without feeling fleeting, layered yet calm, and deeply personal. We focused on creating a room that felt playful and joyful while still maintaining a sense of sophistication and longevity. Thoughtful color choices, tactile materials, and curated details came together to create a space that feels magical but grounded, imaginative yet livable. It’s a room designed not just to be admired, but to be truly lived in.

At Yates Desygn, we believe the most beautiful spaces tell a story. In kids’ spaces especially, that story should feel nurturing, inspiring, and reflective of who they are and who they’re becoming. This project allowed us to lean into that philosophy fully, balancing function with feeling and design with heart. To have that approach recognized by D HOME is incredibly affirming.

Gratitude to D HOME and the Dallas Design Community

We extend our sincere thanks to Jessica Otte, Executive Editor of D Home and D Weddings, for her leadership in shaping the LABL Awards and for championing thoughtful, meaningful design. We are also grateful to the entire D HOME staff for their continued support of the design community and for celebrating the work that makes living beautifully feel attainable and personal. Dallas has such a vibrant and talented design scene, and platforms like D HOME play a vital role in fostering that creativity.

It is truly an honor to be named among the best interior design firms in Dallas, alongside so many designers we admire and respect. Congratulations to all the other LABL Award winners. Your work is inspiring, and we are proud to be in such exceptional company. This recognition is a celebration not just of individual projects, but of the collective creativity and passion that defines our design community.

Awards are never the goal, but moments like this give us the opportunity to pause and reflect. We are grateful for our clients who trust us with their homes, for our team who pours heart and expertise into every detail, and for the collaborators and partners who help bring each vision to life. Most of all, we’re grateful to do work that allows us to create spaces that feel beautiful, intentional, and deeply personal.

Thank you again to D HOME and the LABL Awards for this recognition. We look forward to continuing to design spaces that support how people truly live and, in doing so, help them live a beautiful life.
