Interior Designer | Chupik Design | Austin, TX
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Chupik Design is an Austin-based luxury interior design studio with over 25 years of experience creating custom homes that feel lived in, deeply personal, and built to last. Founded by Principal Viki Chupik — named one of Austin Home's Best Interior Designers and featured in Architectural Digest, LUXE Interiors + Design, and House Beautiful — the firm is known for a signature aesthetic of layered minimalism: timeless, collected interiors that balance restraint with richness, and the antique with the contemporary.
The studio takes a full-service, collaborative approach, partnering closely with some of Austin's most respected architects and builders — including Ryan Street, Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects, Tim Cuppett Architects, Hunt Architecture, FAB Architecture, and Andersson Wise Architects — to guide projects seamlessly from concept through construction and move-in. Every decision is made with intention, craft, and the client's vision at the center.
Chupik Design's work has changed the face of Central and West Austin — one beautiful residence at a time — and the studio is growing.
