SHOWHOUSE SPOTLIGHT
House Beautiful Whole Home
The fifth annual Whole Home marked a first for House Beautiful. Rather than building a new home, 12 of today’s most compelling designers were invited to reinvigorate an existing property in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, GA.

Kitchen Classics
Inspired by the home’s Tudor details, Whittney Parkinson reimagined an English-inspired kitchen for a modern family. Floor-to-ceiling windows and two O’Connor Chandeliers by AERIN above the kitchen island are reflected in a mirrored glass tile for the ultimate brightening effect.

Dash of Drama
In the wine niche and scullery, Parkinson embraced the moodiness (and the lack of windows) with Farrow & Ball’s Hopperhead, whimsical Morris & Co. wallpaper, and glamorous lighting. To the right, hand-painted lampshades by artist Sarah Blomfield of the Cotswolds align with the English influence.

With twin loves of art and architecture, Zoë Feldman added interest with an arched window and Old World touches like zinc lanterns to the combination living room, garden room, and sunroom.

Cozy Corners
Two Thomas O’Brien sconces flank a built-in settee covered in a Morris & Co. floral velvet with custom Fabricut trim. The open space “begged for these little vignettes that would offer so many different moments of engagement,” Feldman told House Beautiful.

Tasteful Touches
An informal dining lounge pictured on the left by Jonathan Savage of Savage Interior Design was envisioned as funky and playful. “We wanted to have an overall feeling that you could put your feet up,” Savage said. On the right, Savage devised “a welcoming yet interesting powder bath” near the entryway thanks to graphic pattern play and art placed throughout to feel like a gallery. A custom vanity in coastal grey by Caesarstone pairs with a vinyl wallcovering by Arte and a mosaic floor by Ann Sacks.

Green Galore
The vision for the owners’ suite all began with the Sanderson drapery, Mark Williams and Niki Papadopoulos told House Beautiful. Embroidered with leaves and acorns, its palette of greens naturally flows through a series of rooms designed for the primary homeowners.

Occasion for Opulence
Lighting at different levels draws the eye to the 14-foot vaulted ceiling — where the glass crystal beads of the triple-strand Sean Lavin chandelier makes for a luxurious moment. To the right, fluid forms and tone-on-tone palettes in the primary bathroom create harmony.

Open Air Mix
“The sitting room is really like a living room for the owners,” Papadopoulos told House Beautiful. “We wanted it to be a place where you could sit down in the morning, read the paper and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the fire.” The cast-stone fireplace occupies center stage as “the star of the room,” Williams added. An oak ceiling meets a rough textured stone floor and Bancha-saturated walls. Suzanne Kasler’s articulating floor lamps define the garden-view space.

Cristol Large Tiered Chandelier by AERIN | Interiors by Leanne Ford | Photography by Rustic White Interiors
Inviting Neutrals
Leanne Ford put her signature minimal style — as well as her Crate & Barrel line — in the teen suite. Plush textures and a palette of warm neutrals (including walls and ceiling painted in the same color for a cocooning effect) create coziness. Slipcovers and a wipeable high-gloss finish make it livable for kids!

Irreverent touches like the rope-draped chandelier and hand-drawn charcoal crownwork along the ceiling by mural artist Carolyn Kelly keep the space fun and relaxed.

In the Mood
“I like to create moods, and lighting is the most important factor in a room,” designer DuVäl Reynolds told House Beautiful. “You don’t have to move furniture; just flick a switch.” In the dreamy studio apartment-like space, Reynolds sourced more than ten different light sources, from floor lamps to flush mounts, to achieve an enchanting retreat.

Lasting Impression
Light plays a large role in the office. With her penchant for shapes, Ariene Bethea knew instantly she wanted the updated paper-lantern pendant in the conference room, she told House Beautiful.
