Meet Zoë

After a notable obsession with yellow houses, historic homes, and glossy magazines as a child, Zoë found her way as the Senior Home & Garden Editor with Southern Living crisscrossing the region to produce inspiring interiors, entertaining, and holiday stories while also overseeing the Idea House franchise. After spending more than a decade in publishing, friends started calling Zoë for decorating “help.” Projects accumulated and the life-pausing pandemic pushed her to launch Zoë Gowen Interiors.

Pulling from a liberal arts background, years of shelter journalism, exposure to the American South’s great buildings and designers, and natural curiosity, the style of Zoë Gowen Interiors can best be described as eclectic within a truly classic framework. The firm approaches interior projects as an editor would: uncovering clients’ stories, hearing their needs, and combining the right furnishings and accessories for them to live beautifully and comfortably in highly personalized spaces. When not decorating with ZGI, you can find Zoë tending to her other business, El Shoppo, and occasionally freelancing for her favorite magazines.
