In a world full of neutral tones and white walls, there’s Trish Roe, the owner and creative mind behind The Georgian Goose Interiors, who’s committed to moody palettes, layered prints, and intentional decor. For Trish, design is personal.
In this featured project, Trish brings her signature “approachable luxury” concept to a newlywed couple’s Atlanta home, creating a space that’s bold, original, and deeply reflective of their Southeast Asian culture and the life they’re building together.
Trish’s well-traveled clients had a vision. They wanted something distinctive. Drawn to boutique hotels and their refined retreat aesthetics, the couple desired a home that felt intimate and functional.
While Trish describes herself as a maximalist, her mastery lies in duality—it’s layered, expressive, and filled with personality, yet always grounded with intention. It’s “more,” but it’s meaningful.
The duality of boldness and warmth is evident throughout the home. A tropical-inspired vibrancy fills the rooms, while layered textures and rich prints, deliberately sourced from women-owned and boutique textile makers, carry seamlessly throughout the house. In the entryway, guests are welcomed by luscious, jungle-inspired wallpaper that climbs alongside the staircase and adds depth to the space and instantly sparking conversation.
Then there’s the sky-blue wallpaper in the powder room that at first glance appears to be a traditional chinoiserie style, but reveals itself as an underwater sea world with narrow etchings of fish, lobster, and seahorses, prefacing the beautiful pool steps away. The imperfect mirror and an aged rug that accompany the delicate printed walls add an edge that feels intriguing, while the chunky wood counter anchors the space with solidity.
In the couple’s shared office space, Trish opted for an oversized dining table in place of conventional desks to facilitate connectivity. The ceiling, treated as a fifth wall, is wrapped in a dreamy blue printed wallpaper that gives layered character and cohesion to the room with the coordinating fabric paired on the woven window treatments. The contrasting terracotta wall hue is warm and distinct, intentionally blurring the lines between work and play, and Trish wouldn’t have it any other way.
The home, originally custom-built for its previous owners, came with oversized ceiling fans with black cords, silver pendant lights, and gray paint. “It just didn’t feel like a room you’d want to fall asleep in,” Trish recalls as she describes the initial condition of the primary bedroom. To expand the space and give additional dimension, she replaced the stern lighting with sculptural fixtures, a brighter palette, and a plush, oversized rug. To soften the large room, she added lush drapery panels, palm-printed textiles, and a statement canopy bed.
Throughout the house, the couple’s collections of perfume bottles, law books, and travel treasures are showcased as art pieces for both display and function. As Trish puts it, “It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s personal. You should love what surrounds you —it sets the tone for how you start and end the day.”
This home is more than a well-styled space. With Trish’s thoughtful eye, this home feels like what every home should: personal, lived-in, and loved. A space not saved for later, but fully and beautifully lived in now.
“Don’t wait,” Trish says. “Paint the wall. Wear the outfit. Drink the good wine. Live beautifully—now.”
