Southeastern Designer Showhouse
For the Southeastern Designer Showhouse, we set out to create a garden-inspired retreat that feels as light and fresh as a Southern spring. Designed to be versatile, this suite functions as a sophisticated children’s bedroom that can easily pivot to welcome adult guests. We wanted the space to spark imagination in a child while offering a moment of restorative calm for an adult -- a whimsical sanctuary where old-world motifs meet a happy, modern colorway.

We began the design process by falling in love with a stunning Anna French wallpaper by Thibaut. Its floral motif is a nod to the 19th-century Indian fabrics popular in Europe, but reimagined in a fresh, citrusy palette. Because of the room's unique vaulting, we decided to completely envelop the space in the pattern, carrying it from the walls onto the custom Roman shades to create a seamless, cozy cocoon.

A small vestibule leads from the bedroom into the bath, where we introduced a textural grasscloth called Pergola. We chose this for its small-scale, graphic pattern that adds a touch of glimmer and warmth to the walls. By continuing the "happy green" theme into this space, the entire suite feels like a cohesive, sun-drenched escape.

The room is anchored by a pair of Victorian-style iron twin beds, which we paired with custom-made cornice boards for a sense of understated elegance. Every detail was handled with care, from the bespoke lampshades crafted here in Atlanta to the custom trim that pulls together layers of citron, milky blue, and soft greens. It is a space that feels both playful and deeply refined.

Leading into the bedroom, we curated a gallery of Susan Hable pieces that echo the spirited nature of the interiors. These works bring an extra layer of color and joy to the hall, serving as the perfect introduction to the garden-inspired world inside. We hope this space inspires as much joy in our guests as it did for us during the design process.
