Artist-led interiors with a global point of view for residential and hospitality spaces.

Spaces that breathe + settle the soul.

We create highly personal interiors shaped by art, architecture, place and the people who will inhabit them. With an artist’s eye and decades of global hospitality design experience, we listen deeply, establish a clear vision, and lead every detail from first concept through final installation.

Who we are

Batten Court Design is a high-touch, low-volume interior design consultancy creating residential and hospitality spaces in the Carolinas and beyond. Led by Elizabeth, our studio combines an artist’s instinct for composition and curation with the rigor of international hospitality design. We don’t work toward a signature look. We uncover the idea at the heart of each project and build something that could only belong to the people and place it was created for.

What we offer

Residential Interior Design

Bespoke interior design for custom homes, refined renovations and elevated living whether it’s an apartment in the city or a beach or mountain home.

Our approach begins with how you want to live. We consider the architecture, the setting, the art, and the details that make a home feel distinctly yours, then establish a clear creative direction that guides every decision that follows. The result is a deeply personal home with a strong point of view, not a signature look imposed upon it.

Commercial & Hospitality Interior Design

Interior design for full-service hotels, lifestyle hotels, resorts, boutique hotels, food and beverage, mixed-use, multi-family and retail.

We create properties rooted in narrative, shaped by a global lens and designed around the experience of the people who use them. Wellness-focused, immersive and atmospheric, our spaces respond to their location and purpose rather than feeling dropped into place. From the first impression to the smallest detail, every element works toward a clear idea—and an experience that is difficult to forget.

Procurement Services

White-glove purchasing and delivery of furnishings, decorative lighting and our expert styling managed from source to final placement. Our white-glove service includes every step of the procurement process: we source each piece, manage purchasing, inspect items upon arrival, resolve damages or replacements, coordinate warehousing, oversee delivery, assemble and place each item with care, and remove all packaging and waste, so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Selected Works

RESIDENTIAL

Homes that feel inevitable, not assembled. Our process results in a home that feels cohesive because it was conceived that way from the beginning.

COMMERCIAL

Timeless spaces that reflect a strong sense of place, built in close collaboration to elevate experience and drive lasting value.
