This feature, “Celebrating Southern Design,” highlights Nashville designer Eric Ross’s passion for bespoke furnishings and traditional Southern aesthetics in his luxurious spaces.
He shares his favorite Nashville spots, including the Hermitage Hotel, built in 1910, which showcases Beaux Arts architecture and luxurious materials. For dining, he enjoys Bourbon Steak for its glamor and stunning views from the 34th floor, and 5th & Taylor for its down-to-earth, comfort food offerings. He also praises the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, a classical yet Art Deco gem commissioned by Martha Ingram, which showcases Nashville’s cultural depth. Ross’s recommendations reflect his love for the city and its rich design heritage.
“A building is baked in a language; someone created it to look and feel a certain way, and I think my job as a designer is to preserve that.”
