Our Story
Tucked between Georgia's Blue Ridge foothills and the elegant buzz of Atlanta lies a winding stretch of history, Highway Nine. Once a vital passage for traders, storytellers and Southern dreamers, this route now inspires the heart of Studio Nine South. Born from the spirit of journey and rooted in place, we design and source interiors that honor both the beauty of movement between time, space and story. At Studio Nine South, we curate memorable environments where every detail is considered, and every piece has a purpose. Whether nestled in the quiet of the mountains or humming with urban charm, our interiors reflect a sense of place, elevated by locally sourced furnishings and timeless Southern hospitality.​
