About Studio
AMY MORRIS creates artful, tradition-steeped interiors that function beautifully in the modern world. Since founding AMY MORRIS INTERIORS in 2005, this Atlanta-based designer has built a collaborative, client-centered practice dedicated to shaping residential environments marked by warmth, simplicity, and seamless continuity between past and present. Every Amy Morris room reflects the possibilities that come to life when designers, architects, and homeowners share an appreciation for craftsmanship, clean lines, and sculptural objects—old and new.
Her talent for layering interiors with elegance and ease, history and surprise was elevated by formative instruction under the award-winning experts at Gandy/Peace Inc. (the prestigious Atlanta firm founded by designers Charles Gandy and Bill Peace), and Barbara Westbrook, of Westbrook Interiors. A graduate of the Art Institute of Atlanta, she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design and travels internationally to source one-of-a-kind antiques, artworks, and custom furnishings for her clients’ homes.
The firm’s work is showcased regularly in regional and national design publications. Amy Morris was named Southeast Designer of the Year in 2016, joining a respected list of designers honored by ADAC (Atlanta Decorative Arts Center). In Spring 2019, she will launch her first collection of handcrafted lighting for Avrett.
Paces by Amy Morris is an exquisite example of artful and tradition-steeped interiors seamlessly blending with the demands of the modern world. From the moment you step into the warm and expansive entry hall, adorned with a stunning Phillip Jeffries wall covering, you are transported into a realm of timeless beauty.
The family room in Paces showcases interesting vignettes and a subtle yet captivating color scheme. Hints of lavender and eggplant are delicately accented with shades of gray and a sunny yellow, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and visually intriguing.
In the breakfast area, tall back host chairs upholstered in a lavender Bruno triplet fabric add an elegant touch to the space. These chairs beautifully complement the ends of the breakfast table, creating a cohesive and harmonious setting for shared meals.
The dining area in Paces is a study in texture, where every element is carefully curated to create a visually captivating experience. From the chevron-paneled carpet to the plush velvet upholstered chairs and the striking light fixture, texture takes center stage, adding depth and interest to the space.
A unique-shaped tea table finds its place beside a window, providing a cozy spot for relaxation and warmth. This thoughtful addition enhances the overall comfort and functionality of the home.
The newly renovated kitchen is a true highlight, featuring an ultraviolet gas range and oven that seamlessly blend into the white-coated wall-to-ceiling design. This modern and sleek space is a testament to the seamless integration of contemporary elements within a traditional framework.
An expansive staircase, enclosed with a white-coated wall and ceiling, leads to the bedrooms. This design choice maintains the home’s cohesive aesthetic while providing a sense of grandeur and elegance.
The master bedroom in Paces exudes a calm and inviting vibe, with its carefully chosen textures and colors. Double bedside tables offer functionality and balance, while an entire wall covered in the fabric adds a touch of luxury and softness to the space.
The bathroom, designed in an all-white minimalistic style, features a white porcelain bathtub that adds a touch of elegance and simplicity to the room.
Even the porch in Paces harmoniously complements the overall decor of the house. With matching furnishings and a large-scale light fixture, this outdoor space seamlessly extends the home’s style and provides a cozy spot for relaxation and enjoyment.
Lastly, the property boasts a stunning swimming pool surrounded by numerous purple sun loungers. This vibrant addition adds a pop of color to the outdoor area and provides a luxurious spot for soaking up the sun and enjoying leisurely moments.
Paces by Amy Morris is a testament to the designer’s ability to create interiors that embrace tradition while incorporating modern elements. The attention to detail, thoughtful color schemes, and careful selection of textures make this home a true masterpiece that seamlessly blends style, functionality, and timeless beauty.
