Tour an art-filled home in a Buckhead high-rise that embraces traditional elegance with a modern twist

An antique 19th-century chinoiserie commode from Huff Harrington and a mirror from English Accent Antiques anchor the entryway. A Hunt Slonem original artwork offers a preview into the home’s spectacular art collection.

The kitchen-adjacent living room is designed for comfort and style, with a plush custom sectional beneath a sculptural Fibonacci custom light fixture in natural brass with opaque milk glass globes. The Holland & Sherry rug adds warmth.

No design moment is wasted in this condo in the sky. An antique Turkish Suzani textile from William Word Fine Antiques makes a statement.

The library, an entirely interior room, is clad in alpaca wool fabric by Sandra Jordan through Holland & Sherry and paired with a coordinating rug. A sofa is covered in Zak+Fox mohair fabric and creates a cozy seating area.

The neutral-hued living room is sleek and elegant. Floor-to-ceiling windows, framed by ethereal sheer window treatments, capitalize on spectacular views of the lush forest that earned Atlanta its “city in a forest” nickname.

The antique 19th-century Bor Oushak rug—with its unusual hues of chartreuse, blush, and lavender that Bozeman found at Art Rugs on Atlanta’s Miami Circle—anchors the dining area. Vintage Marlboro chairs in original leather from Travis & Company and a Murano amber glass chandelier from Foxglove Antiques & Galleries complete the look.

Leathered Taj Mahal countertops whisper an echo of the chartreuse hue used throughout the home, while white cabinetry from Bell Cabinetry & Design with Matthew Quinn Collection hardware keeps the space bright.

A Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering created texture for this charming guest room, with a Serena & Lily four-poster bed dressed with custom linens by Jenny Johnson Allen. Emerald-hued bedside lamps from Dixon Rye complement the green framed intaglios.

This guest room, with its Élitis wallcovering and plush custom bed in Jane Churchill fabric, feels like a luxe hotel suite. A vintage flower pendant from The Nicholson Gallery and marble plinth cube nightstands give it a collected air.

The primary bedroom is designed to be a zen-like haven for the homeowner. The walls are clad in Fromental embroidered silk, accented by Larsen wool sateen drapery fabric on the expansive windows. An Oly four-poster bed completes the look.

The primary bathroom’s deep soaking tub is a spa-like getaway high above the trees. The floor-to-ceiling windows are framed by sheer Casamance fabric.

A mirrored-front vanity from Bell Cabinetry & Design offers ample storage in the primary bathroom. Statement sconces by Best & Lloyd, set against the Winfield Thybony vinyl grasscloth by Kravet, add an artful touch.

Prioritizing art and color were the main imperatives interior designer Susan Bozeman was given when she was hired to craft a new home in the Graydon Buckhead. Bozeman, whose firm outfitted the common areas for the entire Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio-designed building, was a natural choice. She set about making the high-floor flat, which features expansive views to the east, west, and north, something special. “Since we took over well before the unit was finished, we customized everything,” says Bozeman of the finishes.

Though the new condo represented a downsize from the client’s previous single-family house, Bozeman and her team made sure that the three-bedroom home felt vibrant and special—an upgrade, even. It started with serendipity: Early on, she found an antique Turkish Bor Oushak rug in an alluring combination of chartreuse, lavender, and blush that inspired the colorways for the entire home. “I wasn’t even shopping for her. I saw that rug and thought, ‘Oh my god, it’s just so unusual. It’s fabulous,’” recalls Bozeman.

While some might have balked at such bold shades, this homeowner was game. “I didn’t have to push anything,” says Bozeman. “I normally don’t decorate with as much color, but she really embraced it.”

With that showstopping piece in place, other compatible items and design decisions quickly followed. A mixture of bold colors and calming neutrals creates a cohesive design that feels both exciting and comforting. A prime example: The library—with no windows—has walls upholstered with saturated chartreuse alpaca wool fabric and matching portiere curtains, punctuated by large-scale art. “It’s so charming. It’s an interior room, so it makes it the perfect opportunity for that [type of design],” says Bozeman.

In contrast, creamy, bright neutrals create a soothing canvas in the open-floor plan living space, with custom white cabinetry in the gourmet kitchen, a plush custom sectional in the living room, sculptural lighting accented by a mix of metals and plush rugs underfoot. The muted palette served to best showcase fine art—some of the very few pieces the homeowner brought from her previous abode—including two Picassos and a Hunt Slonem original painting.

Though Bozeman started from scratch, the home’s mix of antiques, custom furniture, rich wallcoverings, and fine art feels as though it could have been collected and curated over a lifetime. “It was fun mixing new pieces with found pieces to make this home feel really special,” the designer says of her handiwork. “It feels very evolved.”
