Peach Tree Battle, designed by Atlanta interior designer Amy Morris, pays homage to the century-old Tudor architecture while infusing it with a modern touch. With a focus on neutral colors and an array of textures, Morris expertly showcases the home’s character and elevates it with the use of wood accents and mixed metals.

This expansive property boasts a main house and a guest house, offering a total of five bedrooms and 5 ½ baths in the main house and two bedrooms and two full baths in the guest house. The project, which spanned two years, involved a complete renovation of the main house, including the addition of a garage and the guest house. Collaborating with architect Stan Dixon, Morris ensured that every aspect of the design reflected the homeowners’ vision and the home’s original architecture.

Drawing inspiration from the Cotswold region of England, Morris crafted a timeless aesthetic that combines a clean, contemporary feel with old-world charm. Creams and neutral colors serve as a backdrop, allowing the storied home decor to take center stage. With carefully sourced pieces from Atlanta, Charleston, Paris, and London, each room exudes a sense of history and sophistication.

One standout space in Peach Tree Battle is the scullery, which Morris describes as the heart of the home. Seamlessly integrated into the design, this room exudes a sense of timeless authenticity, as if it has always been an integral part of the house. The attic, cleverly converted by Dixon, now serves as a full living space complete with a bedroom, bathroom, sitting area, and library. The homeowners were committed to utilizing every nook and cranny of the house, resulting in a space that maximizes both functionality and beauty.

Throughout the main level, black leather doors with nail head details add a touch of luxury and elegance, becoming prized features of the home. These carefully selected pieces not only serve a functional purpose but also contribute to the overall aesthetic and design narrative.

Peach Tree Battle by Amy Morris is a testament to the designer’s ability to seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary elements. By embracing the home’s original architecture and infusing it with carefully curated decor and thoughtful design choices, Morris has created a space that is both timeless and inviting.
