Alyssa Grace Lackner

I’m Alyssa Lackner, founder and principal designer of Graceful Interiors. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the way a home can bring people together. My mom and grandmother taught me early on that home was never really about the house itself—it was about the people within it.

That belief has stayed at the heart of my work. I love creating homes that feel personal and considered, bringing together the details, materials, and ideas that reflect the people who live there and the way they live.

I earned my degree in Interior Design from O’More College of Design at Belmont University and have spent nearly a decade working in residential design. My work has been recognized as part of the industry’s Thirty Under 30 and featured in Architectural Digest.

Graceful Interiors is, in many ways, an extension of what home has always meant to me—warm, personal, welcoming, and made for the people who fill it.

Outside of design, you’ll usually find me with my husband and our chocolate lab, Findley (who runs the show around here). I love to paint, I’m perpetually trying to keep my garden alive, and we love to travel. When we’re home, I’m probably starting the day with a matcha and ending it with a lemon drop on the porch.

Thirty Under 30 Award Winner

In 2023, I was honored to be named one of the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s Thirty Under 30, a recognition given to emerging professionals who represent the future of the kitchen and bath industry. I received the award at the KBIS Industry Show in Las Vegas, and it’s been a meaningful milestone in a career I’ve been building with care and intention. I’m proud to be part of the growing community of designers who are shaping the next chapter of Nashville’s design scene.
