A sophisticated Memphis penthouse in the heart of Central Gardens – one of the city’s most historic neighborhoods. This project was about making a stunning space feel complete, cohesive, and actually lived-in.

The Challenge

This Central Gardens penthouse had incredible bones – high ceilings, great natural light, beautiful architectural details. But it needed a complete style refresh to match the owner’s elevated taste.

The space required cohesive design throughout multiple rooms, thoughtful art placement, and a color palette that felt both luxurious and livable. Every room needed to tell its own story while flowing seamlessly into the next.

The Solution

We created a curated, gallery-like atmosphere throughout the penthouse, focusing on layers of texture, intentional color pops, and pieces that felt collected over time rather than bought all at once.

Custom Pillow Design

Created custom pillow combinations for every seating area – mixing patterns, textures, and colors that brought warmth and personality to each space. These weren’t afterthoughts – they were the color story that tied everything together.

Strategic Art Placement

Hung art to highlight the architectural features and create visual interest throughout. Gallery walls in the right spots, statement pieces where they mattered, everything at the perfect height.

Sophisticated Color Palette

Built a neutral foundation with carefully chosen pops of color through textiles and art. Rich jewel tones, warm metallics, and natural textures created depth without overwhelming the space.

Layered Lighting Design

Added lamps and adjusted lighting to create ambiance and highlight key areas. The right lighting makes a $2,000 difference for $200.

Optimized Flow + Function

Rearranged furniture to maximize the space and improve how people actually move through it. Good design isn’t just pretty – it has to work for real life.

The Result

A cohesive, magazine-worthy space that feels both elegant and comfortable. Every room tells a story, and the whole penthouse flows beautifully from space to space.

This is what happens when you invest in professional interior design – not just pretty rooms, but spaces that actually feel finished and intentional. The kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel like someone who knows what they’re doing was involved.
