ABOUT

Chelsea Afnani Yancey is an Atlanta-based interior designer creating refined, quietly expressive homes rooted in personal narrative. Guided by the belief that interiors should feel collected rather than decorated, Chelsea works closely with clients to distill what resonates most, translating those influences into spaces that feel effortless and deeply considered. Her aesthetic is informed by a timeless European sensibility - airy proportions, restrained palettes, layered textures, and an emphasis on natural materials. The result is work that feels elegant yet livable, designed to serve as a calm backdrop for daily life. Before founding The Chelsea Atelier, Chelsea trained under several talented and respected Atlanta designers, refining her eye and developing a thoughtful, detail-driven approach to residential design. That foundation continues to shape her work today. Chelsea resides in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and their black Labrador, Charlotte.
