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 a captivating residence that showcases the designer’s keen eye for style and attention to detail. The living area immediately grabs your attention with its striking oversized chandelier, creating a focal point in the room. Frill-free window treatments and shades of charcoal gray contribute to the sophisticated ambiance of the space, exuding a sense of modern elegance.
Moving into the dining area, warmth and style take center stage. The room is adorned in warm charcoal wool with nailhead trim, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Curvy chairs in a lavender hue add a touch of playfulness and charm to the space, striking a perfect balance between traditional and contemporary elements.
The dining room in Paces seamlessly blends farmhouse aesthetics with modern touches. A custom wood base table with a zinc top anchors the room, serving as a focal point that marries rustic and industrial elements. The addition of long back chairs and a gold metal chandelier further enhances the contemporary flair, creating a dining area that is visually intriguing and unique.
The kitchen in Paces embraces a gray color scheme and features an eggplant-hued barstool that adds a pop of color and personality to the space. The custom wood base table in the dining area extends into the kitchen, creating a cohesive and harmonious flow between the two spaces.
An office table conveniently placed beside the master bedroom offers a functional and private workspace within the home. This thoughtful addition allows for a seamless transition between work and relaxation, catering to modern lifestyle needs.
Circular stairs with a light-brown staircase and a black stair handrail add architectural interest to the home. This design choice combines natural warmth with a touch of elegance, creating a visually captivating element that connects different levels of the house.
The master’s bedroom in Paces is a luxurious retreat. A purple velvet bed becomes the focal point, exuding opulence and comfort. White-lacquered and mirrored pieces add a touch of glamour to the room, complementing the overall charcoal gray color scheme and creating a serene and sophisticated space.
The outdoor spaces of Paces are equally inviting. A supersized stone table in a covered gazebo overlooks the pool, providing ample seating for gatherings and creating a perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. A comfortable hanging lounge chair offers a relaxing space to unwind and enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s for lounging or even taking a refreshing nap.
Paces by Amy Morris is a testament to the designer’s ability to create spaces that seamlessly blend style, comfort, and functionality. With careful attention to color, texture, and the incorporation of contemporary and traditional elements, this residence exudes a timeless elegance that is sure to captivate anyone who enters its doors.
