As you know, I am in Atlanta fairly frequently since it is the nearest design hub for me. I do at least a couple of buying trips a year, as well as the yearly design show at the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center. And when I can, I like to tour the Decorator's Showhouse in Atlanta. Regional showhouses feature many of the same area designers almost every year, so we all usually have one or two favorites that we look forward to each year. Joy McLean is one of the designers that I always look forward to. Her style is very classic and clean.
Her use of antiques and beautiful reproductions is something that draws me to her work.
I like the way she keeps her signature look evident here in this sunroom. It still has that edited, traditional feel, but comfortable and casual as well.
A beautiful vignette in an entryway. The mirror reflects a clean-lined window treatment and gorgeous crystal chandelier.
This looks like a keeping room. Elements I love here are the lantern, comfy chairs, and the curved banquette.
Joy McLean uses beautiful blues a lot in her work. Very serene.
Here again she anchors the room with classic furniture and adds tailored window treatments in pretty fabrics.
A warm and inviting library.
Another soft and pretty bedroom.I hope you have enjoyed this quick little tour of some of Joy's work. Her rooms are even prettier in person. Classic furniture and soft, livable colors always endure.

Beautiful grouping of rooms! Thank you so much for the introduction to Joy McLean. Being a child of the South - I have leaned on these sorts of interiors as my favorites for years and years, even now - actually. Simple stunning. And thank you so much for your glowing compliments of me and my talent. I agree that it was a blessing in disquise. :)

Hello Southern Chateau!
By accident, I came across some of my own work on your site.
Thank You for displaying some of my favorite rooms and for some of the comments that came from your fellow bloggers.
The comments that were included under each photograph were excellent and I appreciate the feedback.
Warm Regards,
Joy McLean
There are many companies that provide modern furniture at affordable prices. These may be designs of famous furniture architects, but are manufactured on an assembly line & hence can be priced low. Sometimes separate parts of furniture manufactured and later assembled to give them different shapes. This is called modular furniture & is generally available at markedly lower rates than single-piece furniture.
