Making dreams a reality
CREATIVE ELEMENTS IS BASED ON RELATIONSHIPS AND AWARD-WINNING DESIGN

Lucie Hasek started painting with a friend about 23 years ago. As homeowners began requesting other features, Lucie added services, building her company, Creative Elements, that today designs elegant home spaces through custom remodeling.
You might say design runs in Lucie’s blood. Her father was a remodeler and custom home and yacht builder. Lucie grew up studying architecture in the Czech Republic and moved to the U.S. in search of freedom and opportunity in 1980. She first settled in Seattle, pursuing a business degree and starting a family. When her youngest child entered school, Lucie made her start in home remodeling.
Now in Texas, she serves Southlake, Colleyville, Flower Mound and other North Texas communities. Lucie still partners with some of the same subcontractors she worked with early on.
She’s big into listening and helping homeowners find a “feeling” for their home that provides a comfortable retreat and relaxation at the end of the day.
Her most popular requests are for kitchen and bathroom updates.
“People want to go lighter and brighter now,” Lucie says, “with more storage and functionality.”
Covid-19 saw a lot of streamlining. People wanted less cluttered, more functional spaces for working from home. They sought warm, inviting rooms for work, play and kicking back. With kids also studying from home, more doors and quiet spaces were needed. People added home gyms, game rooms and other conveniences, changing how they utilized their space, which is why so many homeowners are staying where they are today.
Closet updates with built-in cabinetry and room for TVs, kids’ bunk beds and the like are popular now. Some families are looking for a cosmetic freshen-up in other areas. Some bring pictures and ideas, while others explain what they don’t like and want to change.
What’s important, Lucie says, is building a relationship. Most of her business comes from referrals or return clients. From the estimate to project start and throughout, Creative Elements takes you smoothly through the whole process with continual updates.
“The key is to get what you really want,” Lucie says. “Remodeling is an investment, but it’s so worth it.”
