Creating a focal point is always top of mind for us when designing a home. It makes a space and how you move through it feel intentional and meaningful. If doors have to be your focal point, make them special! ✨💙

These custom closet doors could have been boring, but they became the main character! Look at this transformation!

Pool days are right around the corner - who can believe that? Clean, crisp, and classic with a touch of Slim Aarons Palm Beach chic vibes.

Who needs a vacation when this is in your backyard?

A peek from inside the pool house at our Modern on Misty project - still so dear to me.

The custom built banquette bench with black and white cabana stripe bolsters…be still my heart 🖤🤍🖤🤍

I love the way the punched opening frames the outdoor pendant, centered perfectly on the main house window. I could stay here a while… 🥂☀️

It all begins with an idea. Trash paper, sketching plans, layer over layer, then elevations, then the idea gels… and I have to get it out. ✍️

Creating these renderings is probably my very most favorite part of my job. Along with seeing my clients reactions to them. Visualizing what their space could be for the first time. It’s magical. ✨

It takes lots of hard work and patience (and often some inconveniences) to see it through to reality, but it’s always worth it.

I can’t wait for this one to come to life. It will be special!

This pool house is giving Palm Springs vibes in Birmingham! 😎 The cantilevered roof gave it presence, but it wasn’t providing a focal point from the main house.

A new feature wall with a picture window changed that, creating a cozy banquette for poolside lounging and perfectly framing the pendant light. Finished with potted boxwoods for a touch of softness. Now we have something lovely to look at from the main house. ✨

It’s quiet, a little bit glamorous, and exactly where I’d want to spend a sunny afternoon… what about you? As seen in Birmingham Home & Garden Fall 2025

At first glance, this space reads soft and neutral, but look closer and it’s doing a lot. Mohair, shagreen, aged brass… layers that keep it from ever feeling flat. And then that hit of black threading through (the table base, the accents) pulling everything back to the architecture and the steel beams that quietly define the house.

Calm, but confident.
Subtle, but very intentional.

We’ve been scouted!! 🎉 Harper Harris Design is featured in Volume 10 of The Scout Guide Birmingham!

When I stepped away from the expected corporate architecture path to start my own firm, I hoped to build something thoughtful, personal, and lasting. Being included in a publication that celebrates the best of Birmingham’s local businesses feels like a meaningful milestone.

If you see the new guide around town, pick one up and take a look. You’ll find us inside.

Thank you to the clients who trust me with their homes and to a city that values beautiful design. 🤍

A little front elevation glow up never hurt anybody. ✨
Swipe to see the sketches we explored with our clients before settling on the dressier portico option.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Horizontal board and batten in bold black, a crisp white portico marking the entry, warm gas lanterns, and rebalanced windows for better light and proportion. Elevated, but still true to the home. 🏠
