Living Room, Janie Wilburn, The Jane Group
A response to the living room’s soaring ceilings and classical architecture detailing, interior designer Janie Wilburn furnished the space with uncommon, one-of-a-kind antiques alongside contemporary pieces with a nod to classic forms. “The architecture of that room demanded something commanding,” she says.
An antique Oushak rug inspired the muted orange and teal hues peppered throughout the space. Colorful ocelot-patterned pillows, for example, pop against the mushroom-colored armchairs alongside the fireplace. Solid orange and teal pillows likewise enliven a tailored alpaca sofa underneath a large-scale abstract painting. “It’s a youthful, energetic space that’s also beautiful,” says Wilburn. Indeed, composed of Murano glass discs with a shagreen-like finish, a spherical chandelier lends the space a sense of modernity despite the many rich wooden antiques, which include an Italian console, occasional tables and an Empire secretary. “This space is incredibly sophisticated and rich, but there’s a lightness and brightness that’s a bit ethereal,” she says. “It feels fresh, cohesive and balanced.” —Tate Gunnerson

Keeping Space, Mudroom & Powder Room, Kati Hardwick, B.D. Jeffries
An extension of the open-concept kitchen, the warm, inviting keeping space was conceived for entertaining and family gatherings. Taking her cue from the room’s architecture, Kati Hardwick of B.D. Jeffries custom-designed a large yet airy rattan chandelier to complement the soaring ceiling, whose Italian plaster finish also inspired the room’s organic-looking furniture and accessories, such as a sunbleached burlwood coffee table and an antique wooden trough repurposed as a planter. Likewise, the room’s pair of rounded wingback chairs and a curved sofa were chosen with the ceiling’s dramatic arch in mind. Working with a neutral color palette that highlights the greenery outside the window, Hardwick repeated the keeping room’s earthy, textured design concept in the hallway and mudroom, where a stone bench and antique runner are joined by a striking jar sculpture and mixed-media painting. “I’ve always felt like neutrals are so inviting,” says Hardwick. “I wanted a space that was warm but still allowed you to appreciate the natural surrounds.” —Jennifer Boles

Kitchen, Breakfast Area & Interior Specifications, Kingdom Woodworks & Lauren Davenport Imber, Davenport Designs, Ltd.
Boldly mounted in front of the large arched window, a painted range hood with nickel strapping adds a contemporary flair to the traditional English-inspired kitchen designed by Marcel Olariu of Kingdom Woodworks and decorated by Lauren Davenport Imber of Davenport Designs, Ltd. Flanked by copper gas lanterns, “It’s very cozy and warm,” says Davenport Imber, who also served as the home’s interior specifications designer. Deferring to the white Venetian plaster-covered barrel-vaulted ceiling, the designers selected a complementary white color for the furniture-like cabinets, two of which have walnut drawers. “It’s a rich kind of detail that’s very European,” says Olariu, noting that the same applies to the cabinetry’s thick door frames and high toe kick. One of many black accents throughout, a modern chandelier casts glowing pools of light on the reflective Venetian plaster overhead. An abstract painting likewise contrasts the more traditional influences in the breakfast room, where a custom bench with a scalloped edge anchors an antique French wine table surrounded by Queen Anne chairs. “The push-pull of the old world and the new world creates warmth, depth and comfort,” says Davenport Imber. “There’s a moment for everyone.” —Tate Gunnerson

Dreaming in Color
Scullery, Pantry & Powder Room, Kingdom Woodworks & Amber Guyton, Blessed Little Bungalow
Lacquered in a rich shade of teal, a formal display cabinet with polished nickel Crémone Bolt latches lends a sense of grandeur to the butler’s pantry while beautifully coordinating with the lighter blue, decidedly less formal cabinetry in the adjacent scullery. “It’s rooted in historical values but streamlined to match today’s transitional style,” says designer Marcel Olariu of Kingdom Woodworks. Adding a youthful flair, designer Amber Guyton covered the ceiling in both spaces with a vibrant multicolored wallcovering by Lindsay Cowles. “It’s truly a work of art,” she says. “Sculleries are often described as the ‘dirty kitchen,’ however, this space is anything but.” That energy likewise infuses the nearby powder room, where, painted in a powerful shade of fuschia, the ceiling and baseboards play off a boisterously colorful patterned wallcovering inspired by the painted Victorian and Italianate row homes that Guyton admired while living in San Francisco. “It’s inspiring and motivating,” she says. “The powder room is a perfect place to go big or go home.” —Tate Gunnerson

Dining Room, Lauren DeLoach, Lauren DeLoach Interiors
Enhanced by the reflective Venetian plaster-covered ceiling, a cream embroidered linen wall treatment establishes a visually stimulating milieu in the bright and spacious formal dining room. “Linen is a little more casual, but the embroidery adds some interesting texture that’s unexpected,” says interior designer Lauren DeLoach. The designer used the same textural fabric for the drapery trim, its scallop-like edge framing a tailored slipcovered bench alongside an antique Spanish dining table and chairs. “The mix is a bit more relatable and very comfortable,” she says. “I strive for that kind of push and pull.” Inspired by the built-in wine cabinet, DeLoach created a second seating area on the other side of the room. There, a pair of tall antique chairs float in front of an enfilade paired with an intricately carved and gilded mirror—an ideal spot for the future owners to enjoy a glass of wine. “This room is cozy, like a hug,” she says. “Everywhere you look, there’s something interesting for your eye to rest on.” —Tate Gunnerson

Foyer & Hallway, Dan Belman & Randy Korando, Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts
Using the home’s open, airy layout as their guide, Dan Belman and Randy Korando of Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts took a minimalist approach when designing the foyer and first-floor hallway. “As the foyer was designed to be an open, light-filled space, we felt it should be an open, lightly decorated space as well,” says Korando. Working with a neutral color palette of white and off-white that amplifies the room’s natural light, the designer assembled a few choice pieces for the space, namely, a soft-colored rug, pale wood center table and a sparkling chandelier that adds a dazzling touch. In the adjoining hallway, furnishings are also quietly graceful and include a bleached-wood chest, gilt mirror, and a charming plaster bust, which altogether create a neutral backdrop for the space’s main attraction: large, abstract paintings in shades ranging from vivid oranges and greens to dark, moody hues. Says Korando, “Without question, we wanted the incredible and bold original artworks to be the star of the show.” —Jennifer Boles

Verdant Views
Library & Hallway, Jessica Bradley, Jessica Bradley Interiors
Located off of the foyer, the library was designed to be dual-purpose: a work space by day and lounge by night, according to the designer. “I wanted a place that was lovely and inviting during the day, where you could do work, and then turn moody and sexy in the evening to enjoy a nightcap.” Because the space lacks windows, Jessica Bradley gave the room its own unique vista by choosing a dynamic blush, blue and green wallcovering, whose large-scaled pattern resembles handpainted leaves. To help marry the contemporary wallcovering with the rustic, reclaimed-wood ceiling, the designer added a pair of leather lounge chairs and a burlwood desk, which is joined by a sleek metal chair. A bleached-wood chest and paneled mirror lead the way to the adjacent hallway, where blush-and-cream wallpaper, a pale blue Louis XVI-style commode and an Oushak runner repeat the colors used in the library. —Jennifer Boles

Primary Bedroom, Patricia McLean, Patricia McLean Interiors, Inc.
An antique Persian rug in shades of red, blue and cream sets the stage for the rich, layered milieu in the spacious primary bedroom, which has a soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling and a dramatic arched window overlooking the backyard. “The rug is celebratory and kind of explosive,” she says. “It almost looks like it’s on fire.” Complemented by pops of champagne in the form of draperies, sumptuous bedding and a comfy sofa with a fringe detail, sage green walls create a soothing backdrop for a mélange of large-scale antiques that hold their own against the room’s lofty dimensions. “It’s elegant yet warm and cozy,” explains McLean. Leopard and zebra prints lend the space a collected, global vibe, while a plush skirted armchair covered in a dazzling linen floral print adds a healthy dose of personality. “Layering is the key to creating a space,” says McLean. “It’s lively but calm at the same time.” —Tate Gunnerson

Primary Bathroom & His-and-Her Closets, Sande Beck, Sande Beck Design
The craftsmanship of the elongated custom vanity by Kingdom Woodworks and sumptuous shower and tub backdrop entices guests to linger in the primary bathroom. In the shower, large-format Ancient Marble porcelain in a glossy finish is book-matched four ways to show different use of the pattern, while a dramatic groin-vault ceiling enhances the grandness of the space. To not distract from the bathroom’s wow-factor, designer Sande Beck implemented textured accessorizing, seen in wicker, mercury glass, modern sculptures and embroidered towels. The bespoke primary bathroom’s neutral tones of browns and gray inspired Beck to bring bursts of color into the closets that bookend the space. “Pink and green are two of my favorite colors,” says Beck. A hot pink ceiling, raspberry velvet pillows and abstract art accentuates the happy in “her” closet, where Schumacher’s Citronier fabric adorns the cornice, window seat and pillows. In “his” closet, Schumacher’s Lotus Garden pattern evokes the feel of a hunting lodge, while patterned ottomans with fringe detailing and a bright green ceiling capture a warm and earthy feel. —Lori Johnston

Stair Hall, Upstairs Laundry & Hallway, Crystal Corder, Crystal Corder Interiors
Responsible for three connecting spaces, designer Crystal Corder chose an often overlooked room for the starting point of her design: the laundry room, which she lavished in appealing shades of blue, including textured wallpaper, painted cabinetry designed by Kingdom Woodworks and a bird-print fabric window shade. Beginning just off the foyer and carrying upstairs to the second-floor landing and hallway, Corder “really wanted the spaces to feel cohesive, so I pulled in varying textures and shades of blue that are accented with neutrals.” A metal side table and black-wood armchairs are partnered with blue accents, seen in upholstery, paintings and a wall display of ceramic flowers that leads to the neighboring hallway, where a gallery-style assemblage of artwork gives the space a curated look. Culminating at the end of the hall, a piece of concrete art and a pair of bold charcoal black stools lend authority to the walkway. —Jennifer Boles

Bold Beauty
Upstairs Lounge, Tavia Forbes & Monet Masters, Forbes Masters
The upstairs lounge exposed guests to Forbes Masters’ Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles showhouse debut, and, located right at the top of the stairs, what better place for the designers to see visceral reactions to their expression of feminine freedom and joy. “It was like an aha moment,” says Tavia Forbes. “Some said it felt like a spiritual space.” The Arte wallcovering in garnets, violets and pinks presents a tasteful depiction of women, says Monet Masters. Designing for “sophisticated women who are quick-witted, ambitious and love to laugh,” they combined modern selections, such as opulent, blush wingback chairs, chrome studded pillows, a white silk shag rug and antiques like the stately British cabinet. Furnishings and artwork selections balance sensuality and softness that “follow the curves of a woman’s body,” says Masters, with substance and intention like the women they honor. Terracotta African busts were a serendipitous find and the duo selected the whimsical arboreal chandeliers for the barrel-vault ceiling. “It feels like it showcased our eclectic nature and how we love to juxtapose different time periods, design styles and curation through art,” says Forbes. —Lori Johnston

Bedroom & Bath, Chris Holt, Holt Interiors
One of the space’s many verdant hues, light blue-green walls establish a soothing backdrop for a pleasing mix of furnishings, textiles and artwork in the guest bedroom suite. “The different shades create a lot of depth and interest,” says designer Chris Holt. “I wanted the room to be calm and serene.” However, there are moments of drama: The interior of the deep tray ceiling is covered with a chartreuse grasscloth that plays off the polished cotton draperies. And flanked by mismatched whitewashed oak side tables, a white canopy bed makes a striking focal point. “Waking up in a canopy bed is enveloping, cozy and comforting,” he explains. The palette flows into the en suite bathroom, where a dark green floral wallcovering complements the handsome white vanity and light stone countertop. “This suite is approachable, tasteful, light and fresh,” says Holt. “A place where people will want to relax and hang out.” —Tate Gunnerson

Ancient Inspiration
Bedroom & Bath, Evan Millard, millárd
Accented by a custom three-dimensional ceiling border, a light fabric wallcovering with an abstracted Greek column pattern is just one of many Grecian touches that interior designer Evan Millard incorporated into the light-filled bedroom suite. A trio of plaster figurative sculptures by Alan LeQuire, for example, create a focal point over the bed. And, referencing Greece’s Mediterranean climate, a brass palm-shaped floor lamp adds a touch of whimsy. “There are lots of layers, but it’s not stuffy or overwhelming,” says Millard, pointing to the books and objets d’art displayed behind the curio cabinet’s brass-framed glass doors. Indeed, pops of emerald, coral and a soft pale pink punctuate the neutral envelope, which is rendered in multiple shades of white and cream. A subtle nod to the jewel tones, a faceted mirror flanked by contemporary sconces elevates the en suite bathroom, which includes a Grecian urn filled with a lively mix of flowers. “This is a wonderful, warm and welcoming jewel box-like space,” says Millard. “It’s like a breath of fresh air.” —Tate Gunnerson

Bedroom & Bath, Whitney Tingle, Madi Gray & Leigh Ann Harris, Christopher Collection
Travel and memory-making drove the design narrative of a guest bedroom by Whitney Tingle, Madi Gray and Leigh Ann Harris of Christopher Collection, where the trio pictured a young adult retreating to relax in upon returning home or visiting relatives for the holidays. The wallcovering’s modern coloration of dark teal, rust, persimmon, brighter blues and a hint of pink was their starting point, while the green-painted ceiling and an Arteriors gold chandelier are a dramatic backdrop to the luxuriously appointed poster bed. Textures like the bed’s nubby upholstery, faux-fur pillows, gray velvet chairs and fringed leather stools are chic and cozy. To curate a traditional and modern space, the clean lines of geometric embroidered draperies and a custom steel console juxtapose the wallcovering’s traditional design and antique pieces. A bold abstract painting tones down the sweetness of the fauna. “From serene and classic to this room, which is a little bit more wild, we do it all,” says Harris. —Lori Johnston

Masterful Mix
Bedroom & Bath, Kerry Howard, Howard House Interiors
A transitional-style suite that leans modern, the guest bedroom and bath are a blend of tailored pieces and creative accents, like the bedroom’s striking mosaic-patterned wallcovering that inspired the room’s design scheme. “I felt like it was the perfect jumping-off point because it reminded me of a kaleidoscope,” says Howard, who repeated the wallcovering’s teal hues throughout the bedroom. Teal window drapery, made from a slubbed silk-like fabric, is trimmed with an emerald Greek-key embroidered tape, a color combination which was also chosen for the bedding. The room’s lighting has artistic flair, especially the chandelier, which adds an eye-catching modern twist to the space. The same goes for the wall decor, a mix of carved wood panels and paintings. For the bathroom, Howard selected warm neutral shades to complement the tilework in this soothing, tranquil space. Standout pieces include a taupe-colored vanity by Kingdom Woodworks, alabaster-framed mirror and soft-patterned accent rug. —Jennifer Boles

Luxe Hideaway
Guest Suite, Trudy Stump, Heather Parker & Wren Caples, Huff Harrington Design
The designers envisioned a ladies retreat in this quiet, private office suite, but they didn’t want to hide the ceiling pitches that defined the architecture. “We felt like embracing them and creating a warm, neutral space with curated textures,” says designer Trudy Stump. A snakeskin Thibaut wallcovering, French antiques and modern twists—like the fringe ottomans and lucite tables—resulted in a smart space where a well-traveled woman can work and converse with friends. The vintage Hermès scarf—art in itself—inspired the color palette of the pearl wallcovering, blush botanical Schumacher draperies and custom velvet swivel chairs. The designers’ belief that old and new belong together is further accomplished with the gilded mirror and lean lamps on an acrylic console. To emphasize beauty and function, a desk from the South of France paired with a modern metal chair demonstrates how you can “marry old brown furniture with new sexy furniture, and it’s amazing,” says Stump. “It comes alive again.” —Lori Johnston

Game Room, Elizabeth McKay, Venture Games
A masculine version of a champagne bar, custom brass-framed étagères displaying bottles of bourbon punctuate the veiny dolomite marble backsplash on the terrace level. The first thing visitors see as they descend the graceful staircase, it’s a dramatic backdrop for a fluted game table and forest green velvet chairs underneath a sparkly orb-shape crystal chandelier. “I wanted this space to feel special,” says Lizz McKay, who designed the spaces with husband Chris McKay. “You’re sort of transported into your own boutique hotel.” Scaled to the dimensions of the oversize wooden billiard table underneath it, a contemporary gold leaf chandelier with white shades likewise elevates the game room, which also includes a furniture-like shuffleboard table underneath framed black-and-white photographs of ’60s and ’70s-era musicians such as Janis Joplin. “The wow factor has been amazing,” says McKay of the public’s response. “It’s a little glam and a little rock and roll.” —Tate Gunnerson

Loggia, Grayson Pratt, Grayson Pratt Interiors with Universal Furniture
Designed with both the home’s interiors and surrounding landscape in mind, the covered loggia is an outdoor space with an indoor feel, best expressed through the furniture from Universal Furniture, which Pratt says is “all made for outdoors, but with the look and quality you are used to seeing indoors.” A neutral slipcovered sofa is dressed up with an assortment of throw pillows, whose exuberant blue-and-green patterning was chosen to complement the home’s lush greenery and nearby pool. “By using these colors, we worked with the beautiful landscaping instead of fighting it,” says Pratt. “The result is an outdoor room that extends beyond the walls.” Wicker and rattan pieces, such as a club chair and pedestals with urns lend a crisp, classic feel to the space, as do a teak dining table and stylish fretwork chairs. Unexpected accents include a console table that holds a collection
of blue-and-white ceramics and artwork displayed on exterior walls. —Jennifer Boles

Elegant & Elevated
Design-build, KBD Development & Construction, Harrison Design, Floralis Garden Design
The design-build team’s splendid work shines in the sun-filled estate perched on an acre in Buckhead. Spanning 10,505 square feet, the contemporary take on an English estate by KBD Development & Construction, Harrison Design and Floralis Garden Design honors British architect C.F.A. (Charles Francis Annesley) Voysey with its oversize arches, generous gables and swooping pitches. “The style is from the late 1800s but still very relevant today,” says architect Rick Hatch. “It’s an admired look.” Materials such as stucco, stone and timber present the timeless design elements sought by today’s homeowners. The floating staircase in the glass stair entry is a conversation piece in its own right, while Venetian plaster, barrel-vault ceilings and groin-vault ceilings celebrate craftsmanship. The free-flowing design further shapes the connectivity to the outdoors, which features a pool with a modern, streamlined design. In the front yard, the selection of boxwoods and trees—such as a Chinese snowball viburnum, deciduous magnolia and Japanese maple—frame the house and are deliberately minimal to let the architecture shine, says Lucinda Bray of Floralis Garden Design. And when the sun sets, the landscape and holiday lighting maximize the holiday glow. Says builder Chris Davis, “The house looks as good at night as it does during the day, which is really fun.”—Lori Johnston
