Hinged doors and velvet portieres frame this guest bedroom in our Alys Beach project with @davidbaker_tsb @tsb_architecture. The room is wrapped by @janhalesstudios hand-stenciled blackberry-colored walls and velvet-upholstered shuttered doors open up to bright views of the ocean.

This double-height great room, wrapped in blue gray pine is filled with pieces that were reimagined: the console was a found industrial table and the lamps were made from mechanical parts. This is a wonderful rustic retreat by @mcalpinehouse which celebrates the natural beauty and textures of wood.

Shearling pillows, chocolate-colored cedar walls, tree trunk lamps dipped in silver, and a vintage metal KNF apothecary cabinet combine to give this attic bunk room a rustic and cozy atmosphere.

This bathroom overlooking a duck pond is wrapped in texture: striated, smooth onyx and rougher dark stained wood. The ladder in the background is used as a towel bar. This was a special project for long-time clients and we loved collaborating with @tsb_architecture.

I love this image taken during a photoshoot of a project. It’s filled with myriad textures and elements…velvety chartreuse figs nestle in a silver serving dish, which in turn rests on an aged iron cocktail table. #susanferrier #susanferrierinteriors #artofthehouse #interiorportrait #stilllife

Happy New Year from this soaring room, filled with

Happy New Year from this soaring room, filled with light and air, in a new house I collaborated on with @mcalpinehouse. Three separate seating areas are layered across this space, the main salon, which combines living and dining areas, and overlooks dramatic views of rolling green hills. The subdued palette in undulating shades of white, ivory, and light gray, is calming; these colors, along with the curves of the furniture, add a softness to counter the strength and straight lines of the architecture. Here is to a great 2022. Architecture: @mcalpinehouse; Photo: @vitalephoto

On the eve of New Year's Eve...fireworks of cherry

On the eve of New Year's Eve...fireworks of cherry blossoms! I love this image from the entrance hall of a new house with @mcalpinehouse where everything works in concert. The space, anchored by smoky Belgian bluestone blocks, and with towering steel mullions and oak paneling wrapping the walls and ceiling, called for large, durable pieces. A sculptural milk jug from @jerrypair, custom-designed wood and steel bench, and monumental painting all rise to the occasion, matching the scale, strength, and solidity of the architecture. Happy New Year! Photo: @vitalephoto #susanferrier #susanferrierinteriors #artofthehouse #interiorportrait⁠

The lines of the scalloped foxed glass cocktail table and camel back sofa follow the curvaceous form of the bronze Moroccan lantern hanging in the porch beyond. I love the lighting in this living room corner…pair of tall brass pulley lamps on tripod feet with shimmering antiqued silver shades…and how its verticality offsets the rounded volumes of the furniture.

Wrapped in ⁠deep stained wood walls and with fur

Wrapped in ⁠deep stained wood walls and with furniture covered in dark hide, the master bedroom of a new hunting lodge in Alabama I collaborated on with @davidbaker_tsb @tsb_architecture is an intimate refuge. The sculptural brass fixture in an oil rubbed bronze finish is by @jonathanbrowninginc @therhugheslifestyle. ⁠Everything in this house, from the dark colors to the durable fabrics and pieces, was designed to withstand frequent family gatherings, lots of dogs, and muddy boots!

A desk area, with a collection of creamy-hued objects and finds from the beach, is tucked away off of the kitchen in a new house in Alys Beach. Open to the living and dining room (a kind of grand salon), the kitchen is enveloped in the same pale oak walls and includes gleamy accents, such as the gilt-framed mirror at right and pewter countertop, making the space rise up to the formality of the adjacent entertaining spaces.

A close-up shot of Michael Marlow’s @deepfriedpaint painting of an almost ghostly southern landscape we hung between sets of French doors which open onto an expansive view of treetops. The organic colors in the painting seem to blend in with the views outside especially in the evening when the light makes the treetops appear hazier.

We filled this lake house deep in the woods with both rustic and more worldly goods and materials like the watery blue printed damask on this chair….these touches of glamour seem to rub shoulders with the rough-sawn walls, unembellished pine floor, and other special finds from nature.

To fill the great scale of the dining room in this new house by @mcalpinehouse which was inspired by the neighborhood's 1920s English-style houses, we hung an enormous iron Italian chandelier…the lighting has to relate and respond to the architecture, not necessarily the furnishings! Other unique lighting sources are the Corinthian capitals which we had made into lamps.

White oyster dishes on a stone table top…painted with the fewest, broadest strokes, moments of white in an interior create a sense of calm and balance.

A detail shot from Mary Holland @hollandmacrae’s bedside…a 17th century reproduction Italian iron bed dressed with white-on-white crewel fabric by #oldworldweavers is paired with a lamp we created from a 19th century oak architectural carving. I love designing new objects, such as lamps, using antique and often architectural fragments.

In this lake house dining room, strokes of cool whites seen in the linen curtains, strings of shells on the leather console, and the slipcovered chairs work to soften the dominance of the unfinished cedar which wraps the walls in a warm honey color.

We placed the mirror in this guest bath in front of the window but slightly off-center so that the window is still fully functioning and the light filtering in from the open ocean views is as abundant as possible!

Plush textures and panels of soft draperies appear throughout this new house, which @mcalpinehouse designed with materials of permanence like steel, stone, and glass. Especially in the master bedroom, plush textures, in shades of white and light gray, make the room feel like an oasis within the bold vigor of the architecture.

My dog Piper takes center stage in this photo of my own bedroom! To fill the height of the vaulted room, I hung dramatic 13-foot high curtains around the bed which has an especially voluptuous carved wood gilded headboard. Photo: @ericageorgedines via @verandamag⁠ #susanferrierinteriors #bedroom ⁠

A great overall shot of the main living area in a new house in Alys Beach with @mcalpinehouse @davidbaker_tsb where I filled the space with romantic textures and luminous colors of the sunrise and sunset. Linen velvets, silks, glints of gilding, and shades of violet, blush, aubergine, and cream, along with @janhalesstudios’s pale oak wall finish recall the gauzy colors of the early morning and evening sky above the ocean just outside.

An antique stone Buddha's head and shells from Tanzania rest on a creamy leather console. The strokes of white in this dining room are a counterpoint to balance and cool down the strength of the honey-colored cypress-clad walls. The wonderfully curved wrought-iron lamps are vintage architectural elements. Photo: @susan.sully #susanferrierinteriors #susanferrier #diningroom #collections

A master bedroom filled with pieces of great scale

A master bedroom filled with pieces of great scale, such as the mirrored lighthouse fixture and undulating long white chest, which meet the strength of @mcalpinehouse's architecture for this new house in Virginia's countryside. The curtain wall behind the slate velvet-upholstered bed gives the large room a feeling of intimacy and allows the bed to float in the space.
