Interiors that feel collected,
not decorated.


A Chattanooga studio working across Tennessee and the Southeast since 1995. New builds, renovations and single rooms are given the same attention: good proportion, materials that age well, and the patience to let a house come together slowly.

Meet Kathy

Thirty years of rooms
meant to be lived in.


Kathy Patton founded the studio in 1995 on one conviction: a well-designed home should be beautiful and deeply personal. She grew up in a Southern family where hospitality was daily practice, and learned early what makes a room worth sitting in.

Thirty years on, the method has not changed. She listens for what feels authentic to a client, then builds the room around it — balancing proportion, material integrity and craftsmanship so the result feels natural rather than imposed.
