Blake Allen Studio is a Dallas-based interior design studio working across residential, hospitality and commercial spaces.

Founded by interior designer Blake Rives, the studio creates spaces with character, balancing function with honest materials, unexpected details and what’s already there.

Blake brings nearly a decade of experience across hospitality, commercial and residential design, from early concept and space planning through finishes, furnishings and design documentation.

We work with homeowners, business owners, builders and developers who value good design, clear communication and trust in the process.

Selected experience

Prior to founding Blake Allen Studio, Blake contributed to projects across hospitality, residential, higher education and healthcare, including work for Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Kimpton, Thompson, Tribute Portfolio and Autograph Collection through established design studios.
