Jan Showers & Associates

What Jan Showers & Associates does

Jan Showers & Associates is a privately held, founder-owned luxury interior design firm headquartered in the Dallas Design District at 1308 Slocum Street. Founded in 1996 by Jan Showers (ASID), the firm provides full-service interior design for high-net-worth residential clients across the United States and internationally, alongside a to-the-trade bespoke furniture and lighting line and a curated European antiques offering. Operations are organized around three integrated revenue streams: interior design services, the Jan Showers Collection (JSC), and antiques, supplemented by a publishing franchise with Abrams.

The Jan Showers Collection comprises over 150 handcrafted furniture and lighting pieces — sofas, chairs, tables, credenzas, lamps, and case goods — featuring hand-applied finishes, 8-way hand-tied upholstery springs, and Venetian glass lighting. Pieces are available in standard and premium finishes (Sycamore, Gold/Silver Leaf, Rosewood) and are sold exclusively to interior designers with valid trade accounts; orders require a minimum 50% deposit, in-stock items require 100% payment, and custom finish strike-offs are priced at $300. Distribution runs through the flagship Dallas showroom and representation in 8 U.S. showrooms operated by David Sutherland, A. Rudin, and Ainsworth-Noah, with London representation planned for 2025. Co-development partnerships with Kravet Couture (Charmant Collection) and Kyle Bunting extend the aesthetic into adjacent luxury textile, wallpaper, and leather categories.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship- and reputation-driven, anchored in earned media coverage across Architectural Digest, Veranda, House Beautiful, Elle Decor, and LUXE; AD100 recognition; four Abrams-published books (Glamorous Rooms, 2009; Glamorous Retreats, 2013; Glamorous Living, 2020; The Glamorous House, 2025); and trade participation in events such as the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Jan Showers & Associates employs approximately 11 people, operates without external venture or private equity backing, and has been continuously founder-led since inception.

Direct peers

• Thomas O'Brien: AD100 designer and founder of Aero Studios, with a furniture and lighting line sold through design trade showrooms. Comparable founder-led boutique design firm with proprietary product collection.
• Suzanne Kasler: AD100 interior designer with signature furniture and lighting collections distributed through the trade. Comparable to Jan Showers in residential design services plus a to-the-trade product line in the classic/luxe American aesthetic.
• Aerin Lauder: Lifestyle and home brand founded by Aerin Lauder featuring furniture, lighting, and decor in a classic-elegant aesthetic. Comparable as a designer-led, signature-style home brand targeting HNW residential customers, though more retail/DTC oriented than Jan Showers' to-the-trade model.
• Kelly Wearstler: AD100 interior designer with an extensive product collection spanning furniture, lighting, textiles, and home accessories sold through trade and own channels. Closest direct peer to Jan Showers given the combination of high-end residential design practice and a signature product line distributed to-the-trade.
• Bunny Williams: AD100 interior designer with Bunny Williams Home, a to-the-trade furniture and home accessories collection. Comparable founder-led design practice with proprietary product line sold through designer showrooms, mirroring Jan Showers' model.
• Martyn Lawrence Bullard: AD100 designer known for glamorous, globally-inspired residential interiors, with licensed product collections (textiles, furniture, wall coverings). Comparable to Jan Showers in signature-style-driven design services, product line, and trade-channel distribution.

Others

• Kravet: Major to-the-trade textile, furniture, and accessories supplier and collaborator partner for designers. Listed as an OTHERS peer because Kravet is a current collaboration partner (Kravet Charmant Collection) and supplier/distribution enabler rather than a direct competitor to Jan Showers' design services or JSC product line.

Broad incumbents

• RH (Restoration Hardware): Large-scale luxury home furnishings retailer with own-brand furniture, lighting, and textiles plus an interior design service offering. A broad incumbent in the luxury residential interiors space with substantially larger scale, multi-channel retail footprint, and publicly-listed financial profile that dwarfs Jan Showers' boutique model.
• Baker Furniture: Heritage luxury furniture manufacturer with to-the-trade distribution and designer collaborations. Comparable as a higher-end furniture maker sold through designer showrooms, though at significantly broader scale and with multiple designer partnerships versus Jan Showers' single eponymous line.
• Schumacher (F. Schumacher & Co.): Established luxury fabric, wallpaper, and home furnishings brand selling through the interior design trade. Comparable as a to-the-trade home brand, but operates at much broader scale and product scope than Jan Showers' bespoke furniture and antiques offering.
