DESIGN + HOSPITALITY STUDIO | NASHVILLE, TN + BEYOND
The intersection of beautiful living, experiential design and extraordinary hospitality.
We create spaces and experiences that invite people to gather, linger and feel completely at home.
DESIGNED TO BE FELT
We believe the most memorable spaces aren't defined solely by how they look, but by how they make people feel.
Through interiors, floral artistry, creative direction and thoughtful hospitality, we create layered environments that invite people to gather, linger, celebrate and feel completely at home.
Every detail is considered. Every element has a purpose. And every space is designed around the experience of the people within it.
A different kind of design studio.
DESIGN IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Each project begins by asking a different question:
What do we want people to feel here?
The answer shapes everything that follows - from the flow of a room and the flowers on the table to the smallest moment of welcome.
Because beautiful spaces may capture attention.
Meaningful experiences are what people remember.

THE STUDIO
From private homes and boutique stays to editorial environments and seasonal installations, each offering is connected by one philosophy: thoughtful design should shape the way a space is experienced.

Creating places people want to experience.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Long before Alissa Lawton Design became a studio, Alissa was learning what it means to make people feel cared for.
Her career began within the hotel industry, where she experienced firsthand how thoughtful service, atmosphere and attention to detail can shape the way a place is remembered.
She went on to spend thirteen years designing and planning weddings - creating deeply personal celebrations and orchestrating countless details behind the scenes.
For the past five years, her work has expanded into interiors, floral artistry and creative direction, bringing those experiences together through a singular point of view.
Today, Alissa Lawton Design is evolving into a boutique design and hospitality studio devoted to creating beautiful places and meaningful experiences - from private homes and intimate gatherings to unforgettable stays.
“I have never been interested in creating something beautiful for beauty’s sake alone. I want people to walk into a space and immediately feel something - welcomed, inspired, connected and completely at ease.”
-Alissa
THE NEXT CHAPTER
Introducing a more thoughtful approach to boutique hospitality.
We are expanding our work beyond the design of individual spaces and into the creation of complete guest experiences.
Through hospitality-focused interiors, property positioning, guest journey development and ongoing creative direction, we help distinctive short-term rentals and boutique properties become places people intentionally seek out—and return to.
This is the foundation of the forthcoming ALD Collection: a curated collection of beautiful stays united by exceptional design, thoughtful hospitality and a true sense of place.

I believe…
“A home should be a reflection of the lives that reside within its walls.
Good design can be done with the most simple items.
Beauty is what resonates with your soul.
Flowers can make anything better.
Magical spaces can be created without breaking the bank.
Meaningful experiences are the foundation of life”
-Alissa
