A STUDY WITH AN EDGE

Amy Lee's approachable, yet elevated aesthetic has been developed during her 20 years of experience in custom home design and remodeling. Her full service interior design firm, Artistic Interiors, serves Lake Norman, Charlotte, and beyond.

This study, part of a project completed at The Point in Mooresville, started off with Amy Lee’s client asking for a place to relax and watch TV, read a book, or entertain if another couple was over.

“My client told me to think fire and alcohol when designing this space,” Amy shares. “She is very classy and edgy, and I wanted to invoke her personality into the room design.

This meant I needed to produce a unique design that was bold, yet cozy.”

With the room’s very high, vaulted ceilings, Amy knew she’d need to be intentional to make the space feel cozy.

“I went with a black paint color for the custom bookcases and walls,” she said. “This provided the perfect backdrop for the warmer, lighter colors in the room and made the room feel less expansive.”

The art was commissioned from local Charlotte artist Kent Youngstrom. The leather loveseat is Verellen, the swivel chairs are from Highland House and the ottoman is Bernhardt. —
