Founded in 2016, Grace Frederick Design quickly made a name for itself with interiors that balance timeless tradition and joyful individuality. Based on Johns Island, just outside Charleston, South Carolina, designer Grace Frederick brings a spirited Southern sensibility to every project—anchored in classic design but never too serious. “We create spaces that are layered, livable, and exciting,” she says. “Sophisticated, but always with soul.”
Grace’s path to interiors started with a childhood spent trailing her mother through antiques shops and developed an eye for detail, history, and a deep love of storytelling through design. She earned a Fine Arts degree from Auburn University and transformed her passion into a career—designing residential projects filled with inherited treasures, colorful fabrics, and curated art that feels personal, not prescribed.
Her full-service firm specializes in gracious, custom-designed homes, whether they’re across town or across the globe. “Our process is highly tailored,” Grace explains. “We get to know how each family lives and then craft a design that grows with them.”
That attention continues long after the install, with clients often calling on the firm for everything from holiday styling to dorm room décor. The Grace Frederick aesthetic—“traditional with a touch of whimsy”—also comes to life in her charming brick-and-mortar shop on Johns Island, The Atelier. This local favorite is filled with antiques, custom pieces, and one-of-a-kind finds. At Grace Frederick Design, it’s never just about the room, it’s about creating the backdrop for your most meaningful moments.
