J. Peterson Design works with homeowners in Scottdale, Georgia, located in DeKalb County just east of Atlanta. Jill Kearns leads our Atlanta studio and designs homes throughout the Scottdale area. We design homes that are considered, comfortable, and personal.

Homes in Scottdale

Scottdale features a mix of housing styles, including 1950s ranch homes in neighborhoods like Scottdale Park, often with original galley kitchens that homeowners want to open up to living spaces. Many homes in the Avondale Dunaire area are 1920s bungalows, where we often address smaller bathrooms or create more functional Mudroom spaces. Newer construction, such as the 2000s townhomes near the Scottdale-Decatur border, often benefit from Furnishing & Styling or Color Consultation to personalize their interiors. We also work on 1960s brick ranches in the areas around North Avondale Road, frequently updating Kitchen Design and Bathroom Design.

What homeowners in Scottdale ask for

Homeowners in Scottdale frequently seek Kitchen Design to update their 1950s ranch kitchens, often involving removing walls to create open-concept living. Bathroom Design is also common in 1920s bungalows, where original layouts are often small and dated. We also complete Full-Home Design projects for families moving into 1960s ranches, looking to update all living spaces. Basement Remodel projects are popular for adding functional living areas in homes with unfinished lower levels.
