Our Story
The story behind Upcycle Designs
Every beautiful home has a story.
At Upcycle Designs, we believe the most memorable interiors aren't created overnight — they're thoughtfully collected over time. They blend timeless furnishings, meaningful heirlooms, vintage treasures, and modern comforts to create spaces that feel authentic, welcoming, and uniquely personal.
What began as a lifelong passion for antique and vintage treasures has grown into a boutique design studio dedicated to helping clients create homes with character and soul.
For more than twenty years, founder Cliff Graham has been collecting and curating antique furniture, architectural pieces, lighting, artwork, mirrors, and one-of-a-kind décor. What started as weekends spent exploring antique shops, estate sales, and hidden gems throughout Texas gradually became something much more. Friends, family, and clients began asking for help incorporating these distinctive pieces into their own homes, and from that passion, Upcycle Designs was born.
Today, that same philosophy guides every project. Whether designing a custom home, refreshing a single room, staging a luxury property, or sourcing the perfect vintage statement piece, every recommendation is made with intention. The goal isn't simply to decorate a room — it's to create spaces that feel layered, collected, and lived in.
What truly sets Upcycle Designs apart is a unique blend of experience in interior design, luxury real estate, home staging, and vintage sourcing. Understanding how people live in a home — and how buyers experience one — allows us to create interiors that are not only beautiful but functional, inviting, and valuable.
Thoughtful design has the power to transform a home, enhance everyday living, and elevate a property's market appeal. Whether you're creating your forever home or preparing one for its next owner, every detail matters.
Our curated collection at Forestwood Antique Mall & Design Center is an extension of that philosophy. There you'll discover an ever-changing selection of handpicked antiques, vintage furnishings, lighting, artwork, mirrors, and home accessories — each selected for its craftsmanship, history, and ability to complement today's interiors.
We believe the most beautiful homes don't come from a catalog.
They evolve over time.
They reflect the people who live in them.
They tell a story.
And we'd love to help tell yours.
