Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – CRATE Interiors is helping North American property owners transform homes in Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit into comfortable, move-in-ready retreats. From beachfront renovations to traditional hacienda updates, the company combines interior design, furnishings and project management to simplify owning a home in Mexico.
For homeowners investing in Mexico, furnishing and renovating a property from another country can be a complicated process. CRATE Interiors aims to make that transition easier by coordinating design, renovations, furniture delivery and installation, allowing owners to arrive at a home that is ready to enjoy.
The company’s latest projects demonstrate how that approach can accommodate different lifestyles, from a beachfront retreat inspired by Hawaii to a traditional Mexican hacienda updated for modern family life.
From Hawaii to Nuevo Nayarit
Doug’s move from Maui to Nuevo Nayarit is bringing a new chapter in coastal living. After touring a sprawling beachfront property overlooking the area’s popular kite surfing beach with Greg Stanton of Riviera Partners Punta Mita, Doug saw an opportunity to create a retreat that would capture the appeal of his former island home while embracing Mexico’s Pacific coast.
With an ambitious deadline, Doug turned to CRATE Interiors and the REM Architecture team to coordinate the transformation. The project was organized around an expedited 90-day plan that included renovating the kitchen and bathrooms, restoring the worn wraparound decking and furnishing the property for a fully equipped, move-in-ready arrival.
Doug’s instructions were straightforward: deliver high-quality results in time for his November high-season arrival.
CRATE Interiors is preparing a White Glove Install, followed by a reveal of the completed home. The project illustrates how coordinated design and renovation services can help property owners manage substantial improvements from a distance.
Refreshing a Traditional Mexican Hacienda
Another CRATE Interiors project focuses on a traditional Mexican hacienda in Conchas Chinas, where San Francisco homeowners Diedre and Lauryn wanted to preserve the property’s architectural character while making it more comfortable for their family.
The design plan retained the home’s distinctive charm while introducing practical improvements. Air conditioning, ceiling fans and woodwork received upgrades, and a custom barn door was added to provide privacy between the lower-level sleeping areas.
New furniture, statement lighting and rugs suitable for children and pets refreshed the main living space. Bedrooms and the primary suite gained soft furnishings, handmade pillows and fringed throws to create more comfortable places to rest.
Outdoor decks were furnished with durable, commercial-grade seating, giving the family inviting spaces for relaxing during the day and enjoying sunsets in the evening.
The result is a refreshed hacienda that respects its traditional Mexican style while better serving the needs of a modern family.
Helping Homeowners Settle Into Life in Mexico
Beyond design and renovation projects, CRATE Interiors shares resources for people considering a move abroad or furnishing a vacation or rental property.
The VALLARTA REAL Podcast recently featured a conversation between CRATE Interiors’ founder, Debra Stevenson, and Jen from Expatsi, a global relocation service that helps people plan their move overseas. The discussion explores six steps for turning the idea of living abroad into a successful relocation. Watch the full conversation on YouTube.
The company also offers guidance on mattress selection through its CRATE Sleeps Program. Its mattress guide explains the differences between good, better, best and premium construction, helping owners choose suitable options for personal use or guest accommodations. The company also promotes warranty and aftercare services designed to make furnishing a property less complicated.
