Comfortably Collected

Honey Collins, Honey Collins Interiors | Living Room

Boston- and Atlanta-based designer Honey Collins returned to her Atlanta roots as honorary chair of this year’s showhouse. The large, light-filled living room with Venetian plaster walls created a luminous backdrop for her curated mix of one-of-a-kind upholstered pieces, antiques, and contemporary art. “All of what I used has personal significance to me, reflecting my belief that a room should be filled with things you love and that tell your story,” she says. Finding inspiration in the home’s English style, she chose a palette of soft greens, browns, and taupes and layered traditional chintz fabrics with rich textures and modern silhouettes. She pulled in upholstered furniture from her own Honey House line and customized a pair of antique chairs from her mother—the legendary late Atlanta decorator Susan Wilcox—reupholstering them in Donghia tiger velvet, to create multiple seating vignettes in the expansive space. Says Collins, “The result is a rustically elegant room—inviting and full of character—that embodies warmth and comfort while remaining distinctly refined.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Natural Selections

Evan MillÁrd, MillÁrd | Foyer

A welcoming space richly endowed with oak wall paneling and wood flooring offset by a marble border, the foyer pays tribute to the natural world. “I wanted the interior to feel like an extension of the home’s setting and lush landscape,” says its designer, Evan Millárd. “The room is a celebration of natural beauty, translated through a luminous and collected lens.” Botanical accents are a notable feature of the space, highlighted by a budding branch-like brass chandelier that casts a soft glow over the room while also enhancing the luminosity of the Venetian plaster ceiling above it. Other nods to nature include white porcelain floral sculptures, a pair of cast-iron cranes perched on an oak table, and an archival pigment print that portrays a butterfly in an imagined setting. Black metal art easels, which Millárd designed with KLC Studios, stand in sleek contrast to their natural surroundings. —Jennifer Boles

Secret Garden

Melanie Turner, Melanie Turner Interiors | Dining Room

The recent England travels of designer Melanie Turner and the Cotswolds manor-reminiscent architecture of the home provided ample inspiration for this dining room that Turner describes as “English grandma chic with a fresh, unexpected twist.” She commissioned a custom wallcovering—scaled larger to fit the room’s generous proportions—to set the scene and embraced a color palette that leaned heavily into what she terms “Gucci pistachio” and burgundy, a vibrant and unexpected combination. A duo of rugs—an Oushak layered over sisal—and dramatic pistachio-hued draperies add texture, while a round, custom lacquered dining table surrounded by vintage Sheraton dining chairs dial up the drama. An oversize Maitland Smith snail from Turner’s personal collection, surrounded by moss and botanical elements, lends an Alice-in-Wonderland quality to the room. Says Turner, “It’s elegant, inviting, and ready for a beautiful gathering—just the way a dining room should be.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Liz Godwin, Elizabeth Godwin Interiors | Mudroom

In designing the mudroom, Liz Godwin wanted to create a back-of-the-house area that was both functional and stylish. Inspired by the Whimsy Woods wallpaper from Columbus-based artist Teil Duncan Henley, with its blue and green palette and charming collection of animals, Godwin says, “It set the tone for a space that feels fresh, inviting, and full of character.” The designer, who recently relocated from Atlanta to Columbus, was motivated to find other local creatives to flesh out the room. Potter Haley Calhoun created a custom glaze and pattern for a wall display of pottery, and the duo of sisters behind Varnish Collection added wicker baskets. An antique Oushak rug adds warmth, and custom cabinetry by Kingdom Woodworks—with plenty of shelves, hooks, and nooks to conceal clutter—lines the walls, ensuring endless functionality. “This mudroom isn’t just a drop zone,” says Godwin. “It’s a well-designed, welcoming transition between home and the outside world.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Book Nook

Calvin Watt, the C’Vion Company | Office

Intended for both work and quiet reflection, the office is a sanctuary-like space that its designer, Calvin Watt, describes as “maximalist in spirit and intentional in curation.” A feeling of serenity is fostered by neutral-colored anchor pieces, including a built-in desk painted in Farrow & Ball’s classic shade Mouse’s Back, a coordinating channeled-leather desk chair, and a rug whose light hues harmonize with the room’s cream walls. For some visual rhythm and glow, Watt introduced gold and bronze-toned accents in the form of an abstract-patterned window shade and curtains, towering brass desk lamps, an antique bar cart, and a collection of gold picture frames. Stacks of leather-bound books speak to the room’s transportive atmosphere. “Literature invites us to escape, reflect, and dream,” says Watt. “I wanted to translate that emotional richness into a space that feels as layered and intentional as a well-written novel.” —Jennifer Boles

Striking Elegance

Pamela Williams, Pamela Williams Interior Design | Back Hall & Powder Room

The English Cotswolds architecture inspired the back hall and powder room by designer Pamela Williams. “The arches, soft curves, and grand sense of warm formality gave me the idea to create areas of pause and presence,” says Williams. “I envisioned creating a journey that seamlessly revered the gilded grandeur and timeless elegance of French Baroque decor with a modern undertone to invite casual comfort.” The result is a space that radiates with refinement. In the hallway, the arched ceiling and openings, both finished in Venetian plaster, create a sculptural effect. To draw the eye into the arches, Williams chose lantern-style pendant lighting. “It’s like a beautiful piece of jewelry,” she says. “A low-contrast floral design painted on the underside of the doorway arches added an eye-catching yet subtle layer of visual interest as one passes through the space.” In the powder room, Williams focused on “pattern-drenching” by layering the wallpaper with nature-inspired art and accessories, bringing organic texture to the bathroom’s intimate scale. —Nicole Letts

Visual Feast

Marcel Olariu, Kingdom Woodworks; Mary Coley Stevens, Studio MC | Kitchen & Scullery

A space that its decorator, Mary Coley Stevens, calls “European cafe meets Southern city ease,” the kitchen and scullery brim with striking details. The custom wall cabinetry and islands designed by Kingdom Woodworks, which were inspired by old apothecary cabinets with their many drawers, are wood-crafted masterpieces enriched by custom brass hardware and Rosso Viola marble. “I was drawn to the home’s unique architecture, especially the detailing in the plaster beams,” says Marcel Olariu. “I wanted the kitchen and scullery to feel like a natural extension of that style, which inspired the sculptural shelving above the coffee bar.” Playing off the room’s richly toned finishes, Stevens introduced velvet fabrics in complementary colors, such as the moss green banquette and patterned barrel-back chairs which surround a contemporary dining table. “I wanted the kitchen to carry a stylish edge, which came through in the luxe velvet upholstery,” says Stevens. Echoing the cooktop’s curved marble backsplash, a dramatically sweeping sheer curtain was inspired by European cafes. Although styled similarly to the kitchen, the adjacent scullery stands apart with its checkerboard floor and beveled marble tile that embellishes walls and the ceiling. —Jennifer Boles

Lush Loggia

Liz Williams, Liz Williams Interiors | Covered Porch

The outdoor terrace is a true extension of the home’s lavish interiors, where designer Liz Williams pulled in the surrounding lush landscape, using green as her inspirational base color. “The starting point for the space was the Carolina Irving Palmetto fabric,” she says. “Its beautiful green tones and bronze background felt like the perfect foundation for an outdoor setting.” Next came a space layered with both aforementioned colors as well as splashes of blue to create a cohesive palette that feels, in Williams’ words, both timeless and lively. The designer chose to incorporate new and vintage furniture to create a sense of character and nostalgia. “The result is a perfect mix of freshness and familiarity, creating an outdoor room that feels as curated and comfortable as any indoor living space,” she says. Creative details give the space pizzazz. For example, Williams incorporated a green tape trim down the curved arms of the swivel chairs. “It’s a subtle design moment that draws attention to their sculptural shape and adds a thoughtful, tailored finish,” she says. —Nicole Letts

Grand Dame

Jared Hughes, Jared Hughes Design | Primary Bedroom

Upon entering the primary bedroom by designer Jared Hughes, the towering tassel-trimmed drapery immediately draws your eyes up. And while the drapery allure is breathtaking, the real surprise rests in the room’s ceiling. Designed by Source, it’s reminiscent of the plaster work in grand manor homes of the English countryside, and Hughes seamlessly selected complementary pieces. The wallpaper, for example, is reminiscent of the one found in Lady Sybil’s bedroom in Downton Abbey. “She had a beautiful, slightly geometric wallpaper in shades of camel and sand paired with a chintz drapery in a similar palette. I found it so fresh and inviting, different from my usual taste, and like a room I would love to be in,” says Hughes. Hence his choice of the chintz fabric for the drapery paired with bed hangings inspired by ones done by The Land Gardeners at their home, Wardington Manor, and their chateau in Normandy. “They feel very Italian in shape, and the softness breaks up the geometric pattern in the bamboo paper,” he says. In the rest of the space, Hughes played with lighter, more neutral tones, choosing to use color for more prevalent statements, such as the massive buffet deux corps with the original marble paper-lined interior. —Nicole Letts

Soaked in Style

SOURCE | Primary Bathroom

Far from being simply utilitarian, the home’s primary bathroom was an opportunity for an extra touch of luxury. “This bathroom was designed for someone who appreciates the beauty in subtlety—someone who starts their day with intention and ends it in restoration,” says Source co-founder and creative director Cydney Mitchell. The freestanding, glass-clad shower with tile pony walls is a showstopper. “We treated the shower like a freestanding jewel box. It anchors the space while still feeling open and elegant,” explains Mitchell. For the creative and functional centerpiece, Source partnered with Waterworks to adapt the exposed shower set to mount directly onto the glass for a custom application. Plus, Kingdom Woodworks installed custom cabinetry throughout, including a functional and stylish built-in vanity tucked behind the shower, designed in collaboration with Source. The light-filled space—boasting expansive windows framed by sapphire-hued draperies—balances classic European influences (think Venetian plaster, warm wood tones, and natural stone) with modern-day comfort and function, thanks to heated floors and a thoughtful layout. The result? Says Mitchell, “It feels warm, soft, and timeless—more like a private spa than a traditional bath.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Dapper Duality

Marie Cloud, Indigo Pruitt Design Studio | Primary Closets

Designer Marie Cloud of Indigo Pruitt Design Studio approached the primary closets as though they were more than simply chic storage. “My vision was to transform these often-overlooked spaces into destinations of their own—boutique-style environments that reflect individuality, lifestyle, and daily rituals,” she says. Her goal was for each closet to feel like a seamless extension of the person who uses it, but particularly grounded in sophistication and function. Designing each space with its own point of view, Cloud layered “her closet” with soft curves and expressive textiles while “his closet” is more tailored with understated polish. Using fabrics and wallpaper created by the designer herself from her partnership with Spoonflower, Cloud built floor-to-ceiling texture. “I love redefining what luxury looks like, especially in spaces that are often treated as afterthoughts,” she says. “These spaces gave me the freedom to express narrative and intention in a compact footprint.” Fun, unexpected accents—such as the oversize ottoman in one closet and a bar cart and stepladder in another—introduce playful yet intentional moments of livable luxury. Cabinetry by Kingdom Woodworks was built to be beautiful and functional. Says cabinetry designer Marcel Olariu, “Every inch serves a purpose, from the versatile drawer and shelving configurations to the hidden stealth lock systems discreetly concealed beneath custom felt-lined drawers for jewelry and valuables.” —Nicole Letts

Conversation Starter

Michael Habachy, Habachy Designs | Upper Lounge

Inspired by the Art Deco-style parlors of early 20th-century estates, Michael Habachy tailored the upstairs lounge for sophisticated socializing. “I wanted to create a room that felt nostalgic and would transport you to an era when rooms were a bit more formal and were designed for social gatherings and conversation.” Attired primarily in oxblood, rust, and blue hues, the room draws attention with its gingham-patterned rug and furnishings made of marble, particularly a Claret Dolomite console table and a Calacatta Viola marble lamp. Seating that facilitates conversation, such as a velvet-covered, 1920s-inspired slipper chair and a pair of curvy chairs clad in bouclé, give off Art Deco vibes. Another inspiration was Savile Row, which prompted Habachy to incorporate fabrics reminiscent of classic menswear, including worsted wool sateen used for window treatments. The room’s deep blue walls spotlight a curated collection of art, including a large felted-wool piece depicting stylized trees. —Jennifer Boles

Fresh & Clean

Ashley Miller, Ashley Miller Design | Laundry Room

Designer Ashley Miller hoped that guests would feel a sense of peace when they entered her serene second-floor laundry room. Inspired by the freshness of nature and the whimsy of classic English interiors, she created an alluring, multiuse environment rooted in an earthy palette of organic colors. “The space is designed to feel open to creative use—more of a garden studio than just a laundry room,” says the Atlanta-based designer. The soft hue of the pale sage green wall tile is subtly echoed in the piping on the custom cabinetry. Miller covered the ceiling with softly textured striped wallpaper to draw the eye upwards. Roman shades and ottomans are clad in happy floral prints, and antique pottery and botanical artwork reinforce the textured, soulful theme. Says Miller, “This room is a love letter to the idea that even the most functional spaces in a home deserve beauty and intentionality.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Feminine Charm

Carolyn Kendall, Alcott interiors | Junior Primary Bedroom & Bathroom

The home’s English-inspired design led Carolyn Kendall of Alcott Interiors to think about a suite for the daughter of a homeowner. For Kendall, Patrick Pietropoli’s portrait of a young woman, which hangs proudly above a brass-and-glass console, embodies the room’s would-be resident. “The design has a graceful balance of femininity and tradition, with a delicate fusion of vintage charm and contemporary beauty,” says the designer. She incorporated pieces sourced from Europe, including the game table, bedside chests, and chinoiserie triptych art panels, while a four-poster bed and multiple seating vignettes add comfort and style. The adjoining blush pink bathroom features a sculptural soaking tub, complete with feminine curves, floral-inspired brass fixtures, and layers of charm thanks to blush fabric and wallcoverings. The result? A suite that would allure a woman of any age or era. Says Kendall, “We aimed at blending old-world charm with modern sensibilities to create a space that exudes  genuine character.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Ellie Christopher Interior Design with English Village Lane, Varnish Collection, and Elliston House | Guest Bedroom & Bathroom

With its floral chintz fabrics and potted porcelain foxgloves, Ellie Christopher’s guest bedroom evokes an English setting. “I wanted the bedroom to have that cozy warmth you think of with the Cotswolds,” she says. Blue-and-white geometric-patterned wallpaper and coordinating window and bed curtains blanket the room in subtle pattern. A mix of antiques and modern pieces offers further charm, including an 18th-century Swedish commode, wicker sofa, rattan accents, and vintage scroll-armed chairs that are covered in watercolor-like fabric. To “make the room sing,” Christopher introduced a few green and citrus-colored accents, like a pair of ceramic jars and a colorful abstract painting. In the adjoining bathroom, a patterned marble floor inspired the brown color story for the room’s other furnishings, particularly the chocolate grasscloth wallcovering. Bedecked with pineapples, the wallpaper energizes the small space. “I wanted it to feel like a jolt of coffee in the morning.” —Jennifer Boles

Point of View

Imani James. Imani James Interiors | Guest Bedroom & Bathroom

Overlooking the home’s pool and garden, the guest bedroom was designed in accordance with its delightful outdoor views. “Every element, from the placement of the bed to the selection of drapery, was chosen to frame and honor the view,” says Imani James. Watercolor-patterned drapery, nature-inspired artwork, a gilt sunburst mirror, and a gold- and silver-leaf chandelier that resembles bird-of-paradise forge a strong connection to the outdoor landscape. So too do the soft aqua, celadon, and peach hues that accent the space, particularly the watery blue velvets selected for the upholstered bed and its companion bench. Ivory-colored walls, a soothing rug, and furniture with cream and taupe-colored finishes cultivate a peaceful environment. The adjacent bathroom, finished in ethereal shades of white, is equally serene. An antiqued mirror is partnered with a pair of mirrored sconces, whose quatrefoil shape mimics the pattern on the bathroom’s gray and white marble mosaic floor. —Jennifer Boles

Ethereal Whimsy

Janie Wilburn, The Jane Group | Guest Bed & Bathroom

A scalloped wall served as an instant statement in the guest bedroom designed by Janie Wilburn. “That scallop—designed by Source to give the smallest bedroom with a soffit visual gravitas—demanded emphasis,” she says. Taking cues from the feminine lines and accentuating that cutout detail, Wilburn chose a chinoiserie grasscloth wallcovering, complete with vines that almost protrude from the facade. “An installer broke it over the scallop detail; it just felt like it was always there and truly meant for the space,” she says. The bed is neatly tucked under the wall detail, creating a cozy canopy. Wilburn says the room is a departure from her usual clean and edited style. “It was so fun for me to step out of my self-imposed constraints. I leaned into what the room was telling me it needed. I love pleats and ruffles, flowers and birds, pink and green, and this room let me embrace all that, but I kept it tailored and clean with every detail having a purpose and relationship so that it would be sophisticated and strong.” The secretary, for example, is handsome and neat but still imparts the romance of the space. The Jack-and-Jill bathroom continues Wilburn’s enchanting design. Noting the combination of green, cream and white in the tile, Wilburn created a custom stripe wallcovering in durable vinyl with a linen look and feel. —Nicole Letts

Refined Retreat

Alexandre Fleuren, Alexandre Fleuren Interiors | Bunkroom

What might have been interpreted as a children’s sleeping quarters was instead imagined by designer Alexandre Fleuren as a communal resting place for partied-out adults. “When I was asked to design the bunkroom, I considered some of my favorite Agatha Christie mysteries. What would it be like to be a houseguest in an Agatha Christie manor?” says Fleuren. Spinning the typical bunkroom on its head, Fleuren punctuated the setting’s moody blues with shades of peach and tangerine, notably seen in the coverlets designed specifically for the beds. “I wanted the room to feel like it was filled with treasures from travels abroad. Although the coverlets look like luxurious silk, they are completely washable. I enjoy lovely things, but I am eternally practical,” she says. John Selby prints in oversize gilt frames and porthole bunk windows emphasize the imaginative far-off setting. “It was a lot of fun, if just for a little while, to create a space worthy of an Agatha Christie setting for her complex characters.” —Nicole Letts

Center of Attention

Courtney Walker, C. Walker Designs | Upstairs Hallway

Unlike many passageways whose design has been ignored, this upstairs hallway benefits from thoughtful curation. “I approached designing this hallway as a fun opportunity to blend functionality and style,” says its designer, Courtney Walker. Patterned wallpaper in neutral hues creates a subtle-yet-spirited backdrop for an array of enticing furnishings. Wide enough to accommodate a settee whose upholstery matches the wallpaper, the hallway also houses a slim carved console table accessorized with a ceramic lamp, books, artwork, and a collection of horn boxes. An unusual sunburst mirror made of wood hangs above it. Large, colorful paintings, including one placed at the end of the hall, provide additional character. “I chose art that added vibrant pops of color and that complements the hallway’s color scheme,” explains Walker. A crystal chandelier serves as a crowning touch. Down below, a runner in subtle shades of blue and green unifies the space. —Jennifer Boles

Rozanne Jackson, Mollie Evans, Amber Arnett, & Kayla Moretti, The Iron Gate | Lower Lounge

The walls envelop visitors in the garden-level lounge, where designer Rozanne Jackson chose a whimsical wallpaper with labyrinth and deer motifs to be the room’s narrative thread. “I envisioned a space that felt welcoming to everyone, while offering a distinct and immersive experience upon entering,” says Jackson. While at first glance the space leans masculine with its earthy tones, Jackson brings in femininity with ruffled tassel trim on the barstools, overstuffed chairs, rounded hard surface edges and the waved-edge rug. “I envisioned a couple living in this room, enjoying the moody, cozy atmosphere, which provides an intimate space to have meaningful conversations away from the hustle of the world. The deep greens and soft lighting create a perfect backdrop for quiet moments together,” says Jackson. The custom bar by Kingdom Woodworks complements the room’s intention as a space for stylish, relaxed entertaining. To the left of the game table, built-in wine fridges give a sculptural feel to the storage. —Nicole Letts

Old-World Refresh

Kit Castaldo, Kit Castaldo Design, In-Law Suite

Kit Castaldo’s garden-level in-law suite is a place for guests to escape without the hustle and bustle of the main floor. Even though it’s subterranean, light pours into the room, illuminating its clean walls and shadowy linens. Castaldo imagined the space as a room for a well-traveled couple visiting their children. Rich, earthy tones—olive green, deep moss, burnt umber, and bark brown—evoke images of walking through an English park or the Italian countryside. The grand windows, framed with floor-to-ceiling drapery, showcase views of the surrounding landscape. Inside, Castaldo chose linen, velvet, and wool upholstery to bring in texture. The room’s reading nook is sprinkled with personal mementos. “Handcrafted pottery and a curated collection of books and artwork reflect the parents’ love for creativity and culture,” she says. The room is inviting without being fussy, giving guests a spot to sink into relaxation. In the corresponding en suite, Castaldo mimics the bedroom’s natural elements, choosing a stunning shell mirror paired with bronze sconces. —Nicole Letts

Rich Retreat

Ronald Jones, R Jones Designs | Media Bar & Room

Atlanta-based interior designer Ron Jones of R Jones Designs knew that he wanted the home’s media room to be used for more than its stated purpose. “I was inspired by the idea of cinematic luxury creating a moody, elevated space that feels as much like an art gallery as it does a place to unwind,” he says. Jones started with a rich palette of deep espresso-hued walls, layered with soft, inviting creamy tones. A coffered ceiling adds architectural depth, sconces cast a subtle, flattering glow, an adjacent built-in bar puts refreshment at guests’ fingertips, and bold abstract art adds visual interest. A plush sofa and a duo of club chairs, accented with cozy down-filled pillows and a faux-fur throw, provide ample spots to curl up for a movie or a deep conversation. “I wanted this room to feel like a warm cocoon, where every detail—from the lighting to the layering of texture—plays a role in the experience,” he says. “This is a room for someone who values beauty, comfort, and soul.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Wellness Boost

Source | Wellness Room

With her design for the home’s serene wellness spa, Source co-founder and creative director Cydney Mitchell proves that an area dedicated to health need not be void of smart, visually interesting design. “We were inspired by the idea of creating a space that felt like a true escape—a place to disconnect, exhale, and recharge,” she says. The dry sauna features curved bench seating and directional lighting integrated into the wood slats, while the adjacent wet sauna is wrapped in hand-laid pebble mosaic tile for a textural look and feel that engages multiple senses. The design team thought of extra ways to delight would-be homeowners and their guests, adding convenient wall-mounted robe hooks, built-in marble shelving, dramatic art, and a filtered water station. For an unexpected focal point, a dried floral ceiling installation incorporates artful and unexpected natural elements. Says Mitchell, “This space is more than just a wellness room—it’s a physical representation of calm, a true sanctuary in every sense.” —Jennifer Bradley Franklin

Well-Manored

Cole Construction, William T. Baker & Associates, Source, Land Plus Associates | Design-Build

Influenced by both Cotswolds-style cottages and classic European detailing, the 10,000-square-foot house built by Cole Construction is a melting pot of luxurious design. Conceived by William T. Baker, the home’s exterior is clad in fieldstone in the spirit of a traditional English manor house. The interior architecture, which was custom-designed and specified by Source, features a soothing mix of warm wood tones, natural stone, and Venetian plaster finishes. “The vision was to design a wellness retreat that felt both organic and elevated,” says Source’s Cydney Mitchell. Marble was used lavishly and inventively, particularly in the kitchen and scullery, where it was utilized for countertops, checkerboard flooring, and even deeply beveled wall tile. Richly colored wood finishes are another material highlight, starting with the foyer’s detailed wall paneling and archway. The home’s classical landscaping, which was designed by Chris Holden of Land Plus Associates, includes fieldstone hardscaping, boxwoods, and flowering and evergreen shrubs. The pool’s layout is noteworthy, and a pickleball court amps up outdoor play. Says Holden, “We emphasized the depth of the property by orienting the pool lengthwise, which draws your view outward toward the private wooded area beyond.” —Jennifer Boles
