Imperfect Cocktail Hours on IG LIVE

Cocktail hours are one of my favorite ways to get out, have fun, and mingle with friends and colleagues. After months staying at home, I felt the desire reconnect and collaborate (virtually) with other creatives like me. Cut to my Imperfect Cocktail Hour series on my IG Live, where I interview friends across industries about... Read more

Moodboard Monday : Living Room w/ Statement Wallpaper

Two concepts for a client’s family room. Our client fell in love with this Pierre Frey wallpaper so we knew we would use it on a statement wall. We also knew we had to work around her existing grey sectional. We created a fun modern vibe that updates the mid-century bones of her home. Which... Read more

Conical Lamps Roundup

Lately, I’ve noticed a trend (and maybe you have too) to a more traditional, very tapered, if not conical lampshade shape. Up until now drum shades were the norm unless you were doing something highly traditional, but more and more I’m seeing contemporary lamps with a conical shape and it’s oddly refreshing. Here are some... Read more

Moodboard Monday : Master Bedroom Schemes

We had a lot of fun doing a softer, more feminine and a bolder, masculine scheme for this master bedroom. And as you can tell we love mixing high and low. These staple pieces will be mixed in with the client’s existing art, vintage sourced pieces and fun linens. Stay tuned to see how it turns out... Read more

Kitchen Sketches On Display

It’s so dreamy to envision a space that is soon to take shape through a hand-drawn sketch. For a new Atlanta-based project, Jess Davis sketched these kitchen concepts based on the clients’ request that they have plenty of storage. The generously sized floor plan allows for ample storage for the standard kitchen clutter, as well... Read more

Moodboard Monday : Jewel-Box Dining Room

Atelier Davis is working on a current project where the creative direction is “jewel-box”, which is a particularly fun design inspo for living and dining rooms. With a few existing family pieces like the dining table and credenza, and the Cole & Sons Nuvolette Soot/Snow wallpaper preselected, our job is to fill in the blanks... Read more

Wild Things Roundup

Animal decor is versatile and can be found in various mediums ranging from prints, patterns, chairs, tables, area rugs and hardware. Incorporating a piece into your space is a great way to show your personal affection or connection towards one species and helps bring levity to your environment. The history behind animal decor is interesting,... Read more

Moodboard Monday : Making an Entrance

We featured the powder room from this project a few weeks ago, which is visible from the main entryway. That powder room has statement Cole & Sons wallpaper that needs to be considered from the vantage point of the foyer. We’re suggesting a dark contrasting wall bejeweled with statement lighting and a wall mirror, and... Read more

Moodboard Monday : Chic Dining Room

For a young family who loves to entertain, Atelier Davis created these dining + kitchen area schemes filled with fixtures and furnishings that are in line with their mid-century modern aesthetic, but lean a tad more contemporary and stylish. Furnishings with distinctive forms plus sparkly mixed metals contrasted with stark bits of black keep the... Read more

Cheeky Trend Alert: Body Talk

We could all use a bit more levity these days, and lately we’ve noticed body part decor popping up everywhere. What’s more grin-inducing than an unexpected bum? While this trend definitley has a modern sense of humor, it’s rooted in Classical and Renaissance style. So why the current resurgence? Maybe with all of us working... Read more
