Yellow Door Design

Vickee helped me chose an exterior color scheme for my 50-year old house, and also update the furniture and accessories for the interior. She has an impeccable sense of color and style, all while utilizing many of the furnishings I already owned. She is very responsive, practical, and charges reasonable rates for her talented services. I highly recommend her.

Vickee has been a wonderful partner for us! She has spent the time to really get to know our family, our personalities and preferences, and not just execute her own style. She has created solutions that really take our vision to the next level and fit the lifestyle of a very active family with young kids. The result has been an extremely stylish yet warm and cozy home where our friends and family love to spend time. Thank you!

Fantastic and creative are the words I use for the service and designs we received from the experts at Yellow Door Design. Being new to Austin it was extremely helpful to work with Vickee Byrum on decorating our Tarrytown home. She listened to our ideas and presented us with even better options, taking our ordinary ranch home and helping to turn it into a very comfortable and stylish mid-century retreat. We could not have been happier and more satisfied. She helped to make our move to Austin smooth and delightful. With grateful appreciation to the very personal services we received from Yellow Door Design, Margaret McCarthy

Yellow Door Design is a wonderful design firm with excellent taste in all aspects of a design project. Vickee has an amazing eye for color and texture and details that are livable and exceptional at the same time. Her communication style is lovely and clear and she handles everything from start to finish ---amazing subs and follow up. She had our home painted and power washed while we were out of town this summer---we came home to a finished project! No hassles and everything back in place. We have worked on a lake house and a city house together and the projects are evolving beautifully.

We were introduced to the Yellow Door Design team by several Yellow Door satisfied customers. We had an introductory meeting with Vickee Byrum, the founder and chief designer. Vickee developed a breathtaking mid century modern design theme, and laid out a number of options to help us arrive at our decisions. Equally important, Vickee has decades of experience in the Austin area, with knowledge of specialty shops and upholstery, artists, tile, and experienced craftsmen. In addition to the amazing color palate that Vickee developed for our home, she found a remarkable 10 foot, live edge, pecan slab that was beautifully stained, and installed in a 10 foot alcove right off the entryway to our house. All of our guests are blown away by this striking feature. Michael Potter

I chose YDD (Vickee) by viewing her portfolio here on Houzz. What connected me to her design before even meeting her was her style and taste in furniture, fabrics, overall scheme of design. I have control issues, so I wanted someone that listened to my ideas and needs. I felt that some designers, are what I personally consider "over the top", were not for me. Tasteful and comfortable and a little eclectic best describes my style. I found a great designer (and more) in Vickee. If I ran into a panic about one decision not working or another (or a problem arose during construction), she was on top of it immediately, no problem. She started with me during construction of our home with decisions on stain colors, house colors, flooring, furnishings and even art work. If she suggested something I did not care for, we just went on from there. Likewise, when I made a suggestion that did not work, she was as honest with me as I was with her. She understood the process, made suggestions, kept an open mind and I honestly could not have done it successfully without her help. Professional, considerate, and most recommeded!

Vickee at Yellow Door Design just finished my room, it is awesome. I couldn’t be more happy. She is also working with my parents (I’m 14) on the rest of the house and that is almost done too and it is equally great. The entire project will be done in about two weeks, I can’t wait. I recommend Vickee to work on any room in your house from kids to everything! Nicolas Beaudet

It’s been a pleasure to work with Vickee Byrum of Yellow Door Design on various projects. Her ingenuity has helped to create beautiful and livable homes. The imagination that she brings to her work makes it one of a kind. Yellow Door Design is incredibly diligent and easy to work with.

Vickee Byrum, of Yellow Door Design, is a miracle worker and one of most versatile and creative designers I've ever known. I first met her 15 years ago when she was completing a big project for a wealthy, single bachelor from the tech industry. He had a large, open home in the hills of Westlake that was very contemporary and basically, what you would picture that client might love- and he did. I saw several other very diverse projects of hers, including an incredibly bright, almost whimsical, resort home in Utah to an update of a very traditional Tarrytown home with a hip contemporary feel- and just fell in love with the variety of styles she was able to work with WELL and her ability to match the design work exactly to the clients tastes and desires. So I hired her for a fairly difficult project.... to update my mother's large, very traditional home in the Hill Country. My mom is fairly rigid in her taste, classically traditional choices in fabrics (think Williamsburg) with many beautiful antique pieces. I'd tried many times before to get her to freshen up her home and bring into 21st century with no luck. Vickee was able to work her magic and take the house and turn it into a elegant but very fresh home that my mother was thrilled with! By using some Brunschwig & fils fabrics ( that my mom loves) and others ..,but in unusual fun color-ways, by placing her things in the most creative arrangements and by her selections of paint colors, rugs and carpet ( to all work right beside traditional oriental rugs and English antiques) - she pulled off something that was quite amazing! This was a big Out-of-town job - that she completed " on budget", on time ( or earlier) and in the most professional manner possible. She was respectful, creative, flexible and fun. Having seen many, many varying projects of hers, I can tell you that taste is impeccable.... but most importantly, Vickee Byrum, of Yellow Door Design, was an absolute JOY to work with every step of the way and I can't recommend her highly enough!

We work with Vickee at Yellow Door. Her sophisticated point of view is always on point. She is always a great designer to work with, and her clients are wonderful as well. Over the years, Vickee has come to David Alan with a well thought out vision. It is always a pleasure to help her realize her designs.

My husband and I hired Vickee Byrum of Yellow Door design to be our designer for a home renovation project. We purchased the 1950's home in West Austin, then proceeded to gut about 80% of the house in order to update it and to make it to our taste. Vickee listened to us and got to know us individually and as a family. She listened to our needs and wants and respected them. She made wonderful suggestions too. She met with us and our contractor weekly and was always available by phone for us both. She is very well connected and has a lot of experience so when the contractor needed sub-contractor recommendations, Vickee supplied us with great ones. She handled all aspects of our renovation including flooring, cabinets, tile, granite, plumbing fixtures, interior and exterior paint colors, roofing, window treatments, indoor and outdoor furniture selections and placement . She helped hang paintings. She even designed and organized home accessories and closets. She truly was a life-saver. We also found Vickee to be extremely efficient, decisive, resourceful, mindful of our budget and a pleasure to work with. She expected quality workmanship from all of the sub-contractors, just as she did for herself. We have only the highest praise for Vickee Byrum of Yellow Door design and we would use her again in a heartbeat.

During our condo remodel our architect thought we should meet with Vickee to help with fixtures, paint, and furnishings. We wanted a neutral backdrop for our contemporary art collection. Her great love of color and her design ability to "think outside the box" fit our needs perfectly. We hit it off immediately! I knew basically what I wanted and she knew where to find it! Her ideas challenged me to think through the specifics of the project to accomplish the desired results. Truly a professional who listened well and had great solutions for reaching our goals.
