Classic Timeless Design
Transform your Space to Transform your Life
Our spaces often reflect our true selves for better or for worse. We help put together all of the little details to create a space that truly reflects your ideal life.
a Reflection of your Values
Why Hire an Interior Designer?
Our professionally trained designers take all of the headache, guesswork, and decision fatigue out of design to create a beautiful space that is perfectly tailored to you and your lifestyle.
Reimagined & Redesigned for You
Does your space truly capture and reflect your ideal life? Does it speak of your travels, your accomplishments, and bring you closer to friends and family? Or does it remind you of dysfunction or frustration that things aren’t quite right?
We know you are busy and just want to come into to YOUR perfect space and breathe “Ahhh”. No more driving around town looking at furniture, and finishes trying to envision things down to the detail. Not to mention measuring and ensuring they actually match, fit and don’t blow the budget. We take care of all of the details and figure out what pieces will go perfectly with your existing style to ensure the flow works for your layout and your lifestyle.

Your space tells the story of your life. It speaks to your values, your priorities, and your style.
We start every design getting to know you, your favorite places and spaces, and what you wish you could change about your life. We go through a comprehensive Wishlist to understand your true priorities and from there we create the perfect space for your needs that will bring you joy.

Design Should be fun in 4 easy phases
Our Interior Design Process
We start with you to capture and create the essence of your space. The Floor Plans, Finishes and Furniture are just the cherry on top.
Project Documentation
Our initial step is all about getting to know you better and documenting your space and key elements of the project. We will assist you in completing a Wishlist and Design Questionnaire to better understand your design goals, budget and timeline.
We document your existing floor plan and create shared Idea Boards for your input via Pinterest so we can capture the true vision for your space.
Floor Plan Layouts & Design
We love exploring different layouts and will use sketches to develop schematic design options for your space. We often prepare up to two floor plan layouts and design options and review those with you to see which fits your lifestyle better. We then make some tweaks and the new floor plans can be used as needed for coordination with a contractor or for communicating ideas to your construction team.
Finish Selections & Ordering
Hello, materials boards and look books. Finishes create the backdrop look and feel of your space. We select flooring, paint, lighting, hardware, tile, and trim and then have you in to our Materials Bar to see and feel all of the selections come together. From there we confirm final quantities and pricing from our vendors and then you place your order in our online client portal, MyDoma. Easy peasy.
Furniture Selections & Ordering
We will assist you in selecting and incorporating furniture into your final floor plan and design. There are likely key pieces you want to incorporate into your space, and we fill in any needed pieces to complete the look. Furniture selections may also include selection of textiles, rugs, tables and chairs, seating, bedding, lamps, artwork, etc. After selections are approved, we coordinate ordering and finalizing the entire look down to the detail.

We love that over 80% of our Business comes from Referrals and Happy Repeat Clients.
We could not speak more highly about Southern Athena. They helped us to purchase and then renovate our 1940's bungalow. Liz had the vision for what our house could be as soon as we walked in, and then helped our dream become a reality. Our house would not be our home without them! Their unique skill set and #1 focus of doing what is right for their customers truly sets them apart.

Homeowner
I’m beyond satisfied and grateful I was able to meet and have Elizabeth as my realtor. I have been trying to open a business for almost 4 years now and have hired over 10 realtors to help me find a building in Nashville. Elizabeth was a game changer. She took care of everything in two weeks. Instead of several months. She always responsive and got things done! I can not express how grateful I am. Thank you Elizabeth, I hope the absolute best for you and your business. You are awesome!!!!

Owner, Artwerks Tattoo Studio
We are so thankful for Elizabeth and all at Southern Athena! From finding our spaces to drawing up the plans and being involved on a daily basis throughout our build out of two businesses, Liz was amazing! Very few people would go over the top to make sure things were done...but she did! It's hard to find anyone with such dedication and desire these days. Should we start another business there would be no question on who we would call!

Partner, Float Nashville
Having worked with many Realtors and contractors in Nashville, I have found working with Elizabeth; she is extremely knowledgeable in her field. She's intelligent, ellegant, sophisticated, yet pragmatic and down to earth. A wonderful mixture of Southern beauty and charm, mixed with excellent business sense, class, and insight. I highly recomend Southern Athena if you are looking to build or buy a home, or even if you're just interested in knowing what your options are for modern updates in your current home.
