Sara Hillery’s bedroom design for the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles 2023 Southeastern Showhouse, “Nouveau Départ,” is a menagerie of bits and pieces of her signature style. For this space, Sara pulled a color scheme from nature: her backyard garden in Virginia during the spring months. Sara’s appreciation for both distinctly Virginian and French design is greatly encapsulated by the work of Bunny Mellon and her elegant yet humble and relaxed style. For this space, Sara continued to draw inspiration from Mellon’s former Virginian estate via a fresh color palette, deliberate use of natural elements, and botanical details including local floral specimens adorning the wall. Moreover, natural textures such as linens and wicker playfully lift their more luxe and vivid counterparts resulting in a space that is both elegant and charming. Above all, Sara designed this space to feel collected and sought to blend an eclectic mix of found and history-rich pieces with fresh and airy elements.
