At CRATE Interiors, our benchmark is always the Big Reveal — that unforgettable moment when owners walk into their new home and realize there’s nothing left to do but enjoy it.

That’s the compliment we hear most often from our clients — and it’s the gold standard we’ve designed our turnkey furnishing program to achieve. When we say truly turnkey, this is exactly what we mean.

The world-class surf break of La Lancha in Punta de Mita, Mexico, with its mangrove-framed coastline and uncrowded waves, became the natural choice.

They turned to the design team from CRATE Interiors to bring their vision of a family legacy property in paradise to life.
