Strategic interior design and curation for North Georgia's lake homes, custom builds, and thoughtful renovations.
Floresta Designs partners with homeowners who are building, renovating, or reimagining a home that should outlast trends - lakefront retreats on Lake Lanier, custom builds in North Georgia, family homes with good bones and a long future ahead.
If you've ever felt that the standard design process moves too fast, skips the why, or treats your home like a transaction - you're in the right place.

A home isn't built in a single moment. It's built in three: the strategy, the transformation, and the soul. Floresta works in all three.

Before the first hammer swings, we look for the "why". Most architectural plans focus on structure, we focus on living. We perform a deep-dive review of your blueprints to identify missed opportunities for natural light, intuitive flow, and the rhythm of how you actually move through a home.
The Goal: Prevent costly change-orders and ensure your home feels right the day you move in.
The Deliverable: A refined architectural roadmap with optimized spatial layouts.

We step in as your high-level advocate, managing the complexities of a remodel so you don't have to. We curate a tactile palette of materials - from reclaimed wood to custom stone - and oversee the site to ensure the vision is never compromised by the construction process.
The Goal: A seamless execution where every finish feels intentional and every detail is managed with precision.
The Deliverable: Complete material specifications and on-site design liaison.
Every project begins with clarity. View our tiered investment structure before your first conversation.

A truly timeless home requires the patina of time. Through our curated collection of vintage and heirloom wares, we source one-of-a-kind objects, storied furniture, and unique textiles that break the mold of modern mass-production.
The Goal: To infuse your home with a sense of history - so it doesn't just look designed, it feels inhabited.
The Deliverable: A collection of unique pieces that will compliment your home's specific aesthetic.























Whether you're staring at blueprints, mid-renovation, or ready to find the one piece that finishes a room - there's a way to start.

Patti Carruth founded Floresta Designs after decades working at the intersection of space, product, and human behavior — shaping environments for brands like Ralph Lauren and Gap Inc. where how a room felt determined whether people stayed or left.
That eye for how people move through and inhabit space was always there — Floresta is simply where it finally found its right home.
Her approach is shaped by three convictions: that every home deserves a considered floorplan before a single finish is chosen, that the construction process should be advocated for — not endured, and that the most cherished homes are the ones that weren't built all at once.
Floresta is the practice she built around that belief — strategic by nature, curated by heart.
"Every home already knows what she wants to be. My job is to help her say it."
