Modern Georgian Home Designed With Warmth and Personality

This house, a 2017 build with Georgian bones, had architectural grandeur — soaring ceilings, formal living and dining rooms — but it felt sterile and impersonal. Over two years, Meghan Jay Design transformed the home room by room, layering in character, comfort and collected beauty. A unique challenge was designing with the client's color blindness in mind. Designers focused more on texture, pattern and tonal contrast to ensure the home felt rich and nuanced beyond just hue.
