Georgia on Her Mind

For busy actors, a new job often requires relocating to a new home. That was exactly the case for Jamie Chung when she took the role of Blink on FOX series The Gifted, which films in Atlanta, Georgia.

Jamie and her husband, actor Bryan Greenberg, bought a stunning loft in the vibrant Midtown district that’s close to everything the city has to offer and gives her a quick commute to the set. After such success with their previous  design projects in their LA home, a gorgeous mid-century bungalow living room and a vintage-inspired kitchen remodel, they came back to us for more!

A Tranquil Transformation

While their Atlanta condo had plenty of character, thanks to its location in a converted historic cotton mill, Jamie wanted to tone down the more industrial influences to truly make it feel like home. Since her busy filming schedule left little time for a redesign, Jamie called upon Creative Director Jessica McCarthy to bring her vision to life. Jessica beautifully interpreted Jamie’s personal style with furniture finds from Bed Bath & Beyond, along with artwork from Artfully Walls. The result? A comfortable, chic environment that’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

The Refined Vibe

Jamie wanted her home to have a little bit of West Coast charm, as well as a cozy atmosphere. Instead of incorporating popular Los Angeles trends like boho and surf-inspired décor, Jessica translated the vibe of the region with color.  Jamie wanted a refined look for her living room and dining area that embodied that chic California feel with warm neutrals, gray, blush, and olive green, with enough seating for entertaining and throwing parties,  she said.

A Bright Transformation

The extensive product selection at Bed Bath & Beyond meant that Jessica had plenty of options for finding furniture in just the right hues. She anchored the living room with a white sofa that had subtle gray undertones and a warm pecan base that coordinating with the wood side table and leather accent chair. The ivory rug defines the seating area while adding pattern.

A Distinctive Dining Space

Jessica rose to the task of creating two living spaces within the open-concept loft by giving each area a distinctive look. A sleek pedestal table makes a modern counter to the refined living room. Black side chairs and end chairs stand out against the crisp white of the table.

Massive Art Impact

Grouping an array of smaller artworks gives them a more massive effect that’s perfect for the large walls in Jamies loft. Jessica chose a few abstract and figural pieces from Artfully Walls that brought a dynamic element to the wall. To unify them, she opted for slim frames in black and gold.

Additional Ideas

Celebrity designers have successfully transformed Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg’s homes in both LA and Atlanta, showcasing their expertise in creating stylish and personalized spaces for busy individuals. As a growing trend, more celebrities are turning to interior designers to curate their living spaces, reflecting not only their personal style but also providing functionality to accommodate their hectic lifestyles. This trend highlights the importance of creating sanctuaries at home where celebrities can relax and recharge amidst their demanding careers.

As professional designers continue to cater to high-profile clients like Jamie and Bryan, expanding their services to offer virtual reality (VR) design walkthroughs could revolutionize the interior design process. By allowing clients to virtually experience their redesigned spaces before implementation, designers can ensure complete satisfaction and minimize costly mistakes. Additionally, incorporating custom-built furniture pieces tailored to the specific needs and preferences of celebrity clients can elevate the level of personalization and luxury in their homes.
