JACQUELYNNE
LANHAM From elegant homes to celebrated clubhouses, Atlanta’s grand dame of decorating, the inimitable Jackye Lanham, has designed timeless interiors for discerning clients around the globe. WRITTEN BY Suzanna
Cullen Hamilton
Early Days
Jacquelynne P. Lanham Designs Inc.
top right Interior designer Jackye Lanham has put her signature stamp on interiors across the globe. above When renovating a 930s-era, Georgian-style home, Lanham painted the dining room ceiling blue and upholstered walls in a Jasper fabric.

Lanham formed her own firm in 1987 and bought the Buckhead office building where her firm still resides. From stately historic homes in Buckhead to sprawling, relaxed beach houses to prestigious private golf clubs, Lanham has always catered to a discreet clientele, whom appreciate her ability to create interiors that are both refined and comfortable. The River Course Club at the Kiawah Island Club, the Piedmont Driving Club, the Capital City Club, East Lake Golf Club and the Lodge at Doonbeg in Ireland (now Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Doonbeg) are examples of Lanham’s extensive golf-related projects.
The Pinnacle
In recognition of her distinguished career, the Southeast Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) presented Lanham with the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award. Her work has advanced the tenets of classical architecture and timeless design, epitomizing the principles of Philip Trammell Shutze.
On the horizon
“Just because I won the Shutze Lifetime Achievement Award does not mean I’m retiring,” says Lanham. She’s currently working on projects on Kiawah Island, St. Kitt’s and Maui while also acting as the honorary chair for Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2017 Southeastern Designer Showhouse and Gardens, debuting this month in Buckhead. Additionally, Lanham is now on the board of directors for the Southeast Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and aspires to continue decorative arts education.

Lanham graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in interior design and immediately plunged into an international career with Hayes-Leger Associates. “I traveled alone to Europe, England and Asia to buy antiques, decorative arts and baskets to import back to America. It was quite an educational experience,” says Lanham.

clockwise, from left Lanham’s love of fabrics is evident in this skirted dining table, slipcovered chairs and pleated valance. The designer filled this cottage with heirloom furnishings and treasures. Soft colors and tailored touches create a calm and collected feel in this bedroom. The sofa is strategically positioned to take full advantage of this beachfront property’s breathtaking views.
“My style is ‘undecorated decorated’. I want rooms to feel comfortable, inviting and edited, but not cluttered.”

The lattice-inspired Nina Campbell wallpaper offers an updated retro effect and, as designer Carole Weaks notes, interacts beautifully with the overscaled Pam Heavner drapery print in the same shade. Beneath these, a layer of billowy sheers frames a breezy path to the porch.

The sophisticated scroll pattern on the valances comes from an Osborne & Little fabric, beautifully flanking a small collection of the homeowners’ own colorful pottery. opposite and below The living room features a mix of neutrals and bold color, seen in the pillow fabrics, Nina Campbell wallcovering and fine art. The energetic abstract is from Tew Galleries in Atlanta.
“BECAUSE WE HAD WORKED TOGETHER FOR SO LONG, THEY KNEW THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO LEAD THEM ASTRAY. WHEN THEY SAID, ‘LET’S DO SOMETHING FUN; LET’S DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT,’ I JUST TOOK THE BALL AND RAN WITH IT.” —CAROLE WEAKS 49
