Walter Attaway crafts personal, intelligent interiors mindful of comfort and function. His aesthetic remains faithful to the classic and traditional tenets of design while incorporating many styles and periods to deliver interiors that are relevant and fresh. Walter curates and creates with an eye for quality and “good design.” Ever wary of the inauthentic interior, Walter strives for character along with visceral impact for engaging and expressive interiors.

Walter came to interior design as an artist struck by the field’s interdisciplinary virtue. Following interior design studies at the University of Georgia, Walter interned and enjoyed employment with an esteemed interior design firm in Georgia. Walter topped off his design education at the prestigious Cambridge-sponsored Christie’s Education program in London, where he degreed in Fine and Decorative Arts with a concentration in furniture.

In 2004 Walter opened his own design studio in his hometown of Rome, Georgia, an hour northwest of Atlanta. After a decade of regional design with projects in cities like Savannah, Charlotte, and Atlanta, Walter brought his perspective and talent to the world of retail and opened Walter Attaway The Shop.
