ABOUT ME

Alexia BUtts

Hi! I’m Alexia, owner and principal designer at Apt. 5 Interiors. I have been a professional interior designer since 2013. However, creating beauty within living spaces has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I feel that your environment can increase happiness, comfort, and well-being. A well-designed home can enhance your life. It allows for peace of mind, comfort, and reduces stress.  

Even though I’ve been in the interior design industry for almost a decade, I hadn’t always embraced my passion.  You would have thought I had a clue when I was the one to make the final decision for our family home at age 17 when my family relocated from Hartford, CT to Atlanta, GA. Instead, I decided to become a “real professional” after high school and went to college as a marketing major. It wasn’t long before I realized that it wasn’t for me. So, I got a B.A. in Fine Arts from Georgia State University and a B.F.A in Interior Design from SavannahCollege of Art and Design.

After graduation, I worked at a few boutique design firms before going out on my own. I created Apt. 5 because I wanted the opportunity to design spaces based on my own design aesthetic and principles. Working and choosing my clients allowed me to grow much faster as a designer. I love the challenge of making something that is not only beautiful but functional. Much of my work is inspired by fashion, and I wanted my company to reflect that. The number 5 represents home to me. Apt. 5 is an actual place. It is the real home address of my closest family members, who always encouraged my creative endeavors. To me, it represents warmth, happiness, and the beauty of home. 

At Apt. 5 Interiors we promise to deliver quality from start to finish. We treat every project with individual care and attention while creating an authentic design that is infused with your personality and style. We approach our design projects from a holistic lifestyle perspective. Timeless over trendy. Quality over quantity. Creating balanced form and function while always being innovative and unexpected. It is our mission to make you fall in love with your home time and time again.
