Allen listened to what I wanted, presented me with a design that I loved and the finished product is better than I had hoped for. I highly recommend Allen and am already planning my next room transformation. Allen is a Pro- reach out to him today! **★★★★★ — Laura Thornhill, Jan. 2021** > We had a great experience with Allen, our designer, with Southern Decadence. He helped us with a transformation of our downstairs including a bathroom remodel, an update to our kitchen and. a redesign to our fireplace. He was so helpful with selecting new flooring, paint color, tiles, backsplash and modern lighting throughout, We would highly recommend Allen and his team for future projects. He was very professional, gave us lots of ideas, and was easy to work with in all areas. **★★★★★ — tina\_tot, Oct. 2020** > Southern Decadence Design worked with us to design our new-build kitchen, which we loved so much that we asked them to do another room, then another, then another! Allen and Team listened to our likes/dislikes and brought a vision to life that made our house a home. Worried about the cost? Trust us, it's a lot less to get things right the first time! They also store everything and will set it up in a day or two. It's just like the unveiling on HGTV. We love our home and couldn't ask for a better experience with SDD. **★★★★★ — edubay2013, June 2019** > Allen has worked with us to make our house a home! Together we’ve completed our kitchen, den, dining room, powder room, guest bathroom, nursery, toddler’s bedroom & the kids’ playroom. Somehow, he manages to stick with our budget! I have even learned about & gained confidence in my own style through our work together. I can’t say enough great things about Southern Decadence & I look forward to our next project. **★★★★★ — Ashley Foxx, March 2018** > We hired Allen to design our living room and foyer. Being new homeowners, we were starting from scratch. Allen met with us in person, discussed the processes and was able to work present over ideas and styles I never would have put together. He created an amazing design that fits perfectly in our space and did it all on a limited budget. His ability to source items and match styles, while listening to the clients wants/needs, is impressive! We cannot wait to continue more projects with him in the future. **★★★★★ — T 2017, July 2017** > Allen is such a talented designer. He came out to help me with paint selections to start with. He has so many great ideas. He is also very patient and genuine. **Comment from Southern Decadence Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind review. I look forward to working together again. **★★★★★ — Alice Caldwell, March 2017** > There are no words to describe the fabulous experience I've had using Southern Decadence Design and Allen Sutton. I started with Designer For A Day. Allen came in, took a look at what I had and began organizing. He hung pictures in ways that I would have never thought of, and made sure that my treasured ones were prominent. I'm a "color" person and he tied them all together with my drapes. He will be coming back again later in the month and we're going shopping! **★★★★★ — 4831007, Feb. 2016** > I highly recommend Southern Decadence Design. They totally transformed my outdated living room into a beautiful modern living space.. . I definitely plan to use Southern Decedence Design again!! **★★★★★ — slross42, Feb. 2016** > Allen has a trained eye when it comes to interior decorating. He has helped my husband and I pick paint colors, select furniture, design layouts, and design and build a greenhouse. His pricing is great, and he works well with any price range or project. He is very professional and knowledgable. He's a pleasure to work with, and I'd recommend him to anyone! **★★★★★ — barbara norman, Feb. 2016** > Contacted Southern Decadence Design to plan a complete renovation of the master bedroom, closet, bathroom, and laundry room. South Decadence Design provided superior design service with excellent vision for the space. Excellent follow up and very attentive to detail. We were faced with challenges in design and budget. Southern Decadence Design has the knowledge to know what materials would work well to create the perfect space -- and functionality -- paying attention to the little details we would have overlooked had he not been so insightful. Looking forward to seeing this all come together upon completion! **Comment from Southern Decadence Design:** > Thank you Barb for your kind words. Your project is a very exciting one! It is not everyday you get to take out every existing wall to create the ultimate master suite area. > > I look forward to the completion as well. ## Selected projects - [Award Winning Lake Norman Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/award-winning-lake-norman-living-room-pj-vj~2524636) - Location: Iron Station, NC - Photos: 17 - [Mooresville Traditional Kitchen Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mooresville-traditional-kitchen-design-pj-vj~2524630) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 1 - [Davidson Luxury Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/davidson-luxury-master-suite-pj-vj~2524634) - Location: Davidson, NC - Photos: 2 - [Outdoor Living Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-area-pj-vj~5689250) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 1 - [Mooresville Traditional Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mooresville-traditional-design-pj-vj~2524628) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 2 - [Mooresville Contemporary Bathroom Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mooresville-contemporary-bathroom-design-pj-vj~2524646) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 2 - [Colorful Townhome](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-townhome-pj-vj~5689252) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 8 - [Boy Nursery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boy-nursery-pj-vj~5689264) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 10 - [Breakfast Nook Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/breakfast-nook-remodel-pj-vj~2592262) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 4 - [Hancock Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hancock-project-pj-vj~5467906) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 23 - [Powder Room Wall Paper](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-room-wall-paper-pj-vj~5689290) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 3 - [Billards Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/billards-room-pj-vj~5689281) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 11 - [Kitchen Face Lift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-face-lift-pj-vj~5689260) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 5 - [Living Room Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-room-update-pj-vj~5689256) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 10 - [Denver NC Lake Front New Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/denver-nc-lake-front-new-build-pj-vj~5689244) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 25 - [Marble Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marble-bar-pj-vj~5689308) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 7 - [Fire Truck Boys Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fire-truck-boys-room-pj-vj~5689297) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 16 - [Guest Bath Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-bath-update-pj-vj~5689275) - Location: Denver, NC - Photos: 5 - [Guest Bathroom Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-bathroom-update-pj-vj~2592241) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 6 - Description: Guest Bathroom Update - [Mooresville Transitional Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mooresville-transitional-bedroom-pj-vj~2524644) - Location: Mooresville, NC - Photos: 3 [See all 22 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/southern-decadence-design-pfvwus-pf~1042131020) ## Ideabooks - [fireplace surround](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/89207415/list/fireplace-surround) — 6 ideas - [Bar/kitchenette](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/89178386/list/bar-kitchenette) — 6 ideas - [breakfast nook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78834461/list/breakfast-nook) — 7 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/southerndecadencedesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: where color is the back splash and counter top** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello Jewel32, The backsplash is Carrera Marble- gray and white and countertop is black. I hope this helps! **Q: Brand of tub?** *(in Photo Questions)* What a gorgeous bathroom! We are just beginning our build process and are looking for a freestanding tub similar to this style. Do you happen to know the brand and dimensions? Thank you kindly! A: Hello, I don't have the brand or dimensions on hand, but I can tell you where to look. Vintagetub.com has a great selections of freestanding tubs at a very competitive price. Hope this helps! Best of Luck. **Q: My reading , makeup room???** *(in Design Dilemma)* Need help with placement of furniture and advise on color scheme. I like white, grey, blush and wine colors. Need to change the carpet and paint, window treatment and more......the room is 11 ft to the closet long by 9 ft wide . Would appreciate any advise, thank you A: Gray walls will allow you to use many accent colors and use of your red chair. Light to mid shade grays will be best to keep your room feeling larger and more open. **Q: what window coverings for kitchen?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We're looking at either woven wood blinds for the kitchen window. Was originally thinking woven wood would tie in with the wood floor. But the white faux wood blinds are easy to care for and you can open the slats as opposed to the shades where you have to have them up or down. My photo isn't great but tile is kind of a warm grey. The adjacent room will have white side curtains. A: I agree with Don. The woven will definitely give you a better texture and more visional pop. **Q: Need help designing living room** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello! I'm in desperate need of some great advice on designing my new smaller home's living room. Unfortunately I'm stuck with the heavy black reclining sofa set, but everything else ( walls, floor rug, other furniture and TV/cabinet, curtains) can be changed. Not sure what to do with the deep nook- so I put a curio cabinet in it. Also, one wall is small and angled. The black oversized sofas are too big for the space, as they hang over the edge of the wall and can't fully recline because of the cramped space, but again, I'm hoping there is some sort of solution to keeping them. Thanks for helping me. A: I agree with Beverly. Your sofa and love seat need to be swapped. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-04.*
