ABOUT Us

 

proud to be one of atlanta’s top interior design firms.

 

cg interiors group was founded on the simple notion that good design is magic; that each space tells a story all its own.  

Since our start in a Candler Park storefront in 1999, Atlanta interior designer cg interiors group has grown to include a broad and award-winning portfolio of residential and commercial projects across the country. 

Our diversity of styles and experience mean your home is about you, not us. Each new project sees fresh ideas leap off the drawing board into reality, and it’s truly a thrill. For us, design is personal, it is joy and comfort, a sense of well-being, and magical music all in one. Individuality of design and keen attention to detail are our hallmarks.

Each of our projects is different - decidedly so. Each is a collaboration, designed around you. Your dreams, your goals, your style. It’s all about how you want to feel when you step through the door - telling your story is at the heart of everything we do.

With twenty-five years in the business, we have a wealth of resources, long-standing relationships, and experience navigating both construction and design challenges. 

Specialties include single-family home and condo renovations, custom kitchen and bath design and full-home decorative solutions. And, Atlanta’s Midtown building boom has sharpened our expertise in high-rise renovations, with our team providing architecture and design services, material and finish selection, permit documentation and project management from concept to completion.

Drop us a line, and begin to dream.

Q and A with Caryn:

Caryn Grossman

What inspired you to become an interior designer?  

My initial career was as a writer specializing in architecture and design. As time went on, I found my clients’ work to be so much more intriguing than mine. While I was dealing in one dimension - the written - they were working in a multitude, telling a story through movement, volume, color, design and more. I was fascinated by what they did; how they arrived at a concept then saw it fulfilled. I went back to school and enrolled in an interior architecture program, followed by a Master of Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design. Twenty-five years later, I’m still learning and discovering every day.

What do you enjoy most about your career?

It’s difficult to choose just one area, but I’d have to say what I enjoy the most is the discovery process. No two projects are ever the same - each fully engages my curiosity and presents untold opportunities to learn and explore. I’m also a huge architecture geek, so the design and construction process itself fascinate me.

What has been your favorite experience so far in your career?

We were invited to design a competition entry for the Museum of Design Atlanta, a division of the Smithsonian Institution. Each design team was given a color, an object and a space in which to design. Our color was blue, our object was cake, and things just took off from there. With a drag performer at center stage, we premiered our own version of  Marie Antionette’s parlor, with larger-than-life baroque furnishings, giant duotone portraits, an original 18 mm silent film (hand-tinted blue, of course), and more than 50,000 silver rose petals. We had a tremendous time, and won first place, competing against teams from all across the Southeast.

what tips do you have for someone looking to change the design of their home?

Learn a bit about the field of interior design, and how you might benefit from hiring a professional designer. Don’t hesitate to ask questions - believe me, we’ll ask tons of you during our discovery process. Understand your budget and have realistic expectations as regards time and expense. Develop a portfolio of images that appeal. Pinterest and Instagram are great sources. So are some of the more quirky European magazines. We’re always happy to recommend. Also, think about your goals and your needs. Some good questions to ask yourself are how your family will use the space, what activities will take place, and how you want to interact. And, allow yourself to dream a little.

What advice do you have for an aspiring interior designer?

Stay curious, and absorb everything you can, not just in the interior design field, but also in fashion, architecture, sustainability, graphic design. Look at design internationally, follow new product introductions, Instagram feeds and design firms with a reputation for mixing styles and working with objects and furnishings acquired over time. It’s an amazing time to be a designer, and no source of inspiration is off limits.
