In Case You Missed the Southeastern Designer Showhouse...

Written by Natalie Aldridge.

There is always something especially exciting about showhouse season. Each year, the design calendar fills with homes across the country, each with its own personality, charitable mission, and roster of designers eager to leave their mark. The 2026 Southeastern Designer Showhouse presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles closed this week, but we are revisiting some highlights today in case you missed it…

With rooms by designers including Suzanne Kasler, Isabel Ladd, Kim Mauney, Lauren Lowe, Alexandre Fleuren, and more, the house has range of perspectives while still feeling incredibly cohesive from room to room. While we admittedly tend to gravitate toward spaces with a bit more layering and exuberance, there is something deeply appealing about the restraint seen throughout this show house. Each space feels fresh, tailored, and beautiful.

Let’s take a look inside!

Elegant, fresh, and remarkably well restrained, it is the sort of house that allows craftsmanship and thoughtful decoration to speak for themselves. The newly built Chastain Park residence features modern architecture softened just a bit and refined through airy interiors, layered textures, and clean lines that feel incredibly fresh right now. It is polished without feeling formal, sophisticated without feeling untouchable, and filled with the sort of details that quietly reveal themselves the longer you look.

From the moment you enter, the home feels remarkably composed. Curved plaster walls temper the structure of the architecture, while herringbone floors, warm natural stone, tailored millwork, and layers of soft texture create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply livable. The palette throughout is sophisticated, allowing proportion, materiality, and craftsmanship to take center stage.
