Shopping in Atlanta: Ballard Designs

It’s been a few years since I have been to the flagship Ballard Designs Atlanta store. They opened the new store on Chattahoochee Ave. in 2018 and I haven’t been in too many times since then. I usually go to the outlet if I’m looking for a deal and that’s where I’ve found my best bargains, but the regular Ballard Designs store is so fun and inspiring to visit. They have it all set up with beautiful vignettes of rooms and you can see how the products are used in a room environment. It’s great to see things in person too if you want to buy. I have a few things in my home from Ballard Designs and love them. They are a little on the pricey side, so I’m particular about what I buy. If you’re in Atlanta, I’d definitely say to go and visit the store in person!

While we were down on Howell Mill Rd., Mark and I stopped into Ballard Designs since it’s so close.

The store is filled with beautiful furniture and accessories straight from the Ballard catalog.

I do love the style of Ballard, they have a classic style that is tried and true. They don’t veer too far off of classic and I like that.

Beautiful fabrics and rugs.

New collaboration with Carson Kressley.

They have beautiful outdoor pieces and rugs.

It’s a treasure trove store.

Outdoor table and chairs.

Their accessories are beautiful.

Outdoor umbrellas and pillows.

They have always had a lot of blue and white pieces.

Love this banquet with table and chairs.

Beautiful upholstered pieces.

Patterned lampshades.

Beds and bedding.

These are so classic and pretty.

Stools and benches.

Sectional with lots of coffee tables and side tables.

Rugs galore.

Love this room with the leopard ottomans and patterned rug.

Faux flowers.

Office furniture and accessories.

Pretty table and chairs.

Love this room and they had some beautiful furniture pieces in gorgeous shades of green.

Love this lamp!

And this chair!

Media cabinet and sofas.

Dining table and chairs/bench.

Another beautiful bed.

Love this green sofa and that patterned chair and the burled coffee table.

Pretty blue and white banquet.

Living room vignette with a gorgeous rug. Love the colors!

And another beautiful bed.

Did you enjoy all that eye candy? I know, it’s so pretty to look at. My house is filled to the brim, so I’m not looking to redo much these days, but it’s fun to look! Thanks for shopping along with me!
