Our Insiders’ Guide
Angie Persson
As the owner and principal designer of Swell Décor in Charlotte, Angie Persson brings over 20 years of experience in interior design. Her passion for design was sparked in childhood, inspired by her mother’ s love for antiques and home transformations. With a deep appreciation for both Southern charm and Scandinavian aesthetics, her design approach blends timeless elegance with a fresh, modern perspective.
While design school taught Angie the basics, she realized real life experiences and experimenting are the best ways to learn. She does not always follow textbook rules when designing spaces. The juxtaposition of old and new elements that tell a story speaks to her more than a prescriptive design formula.
Extensive global travels, particularly summers spent in Sweden, have influenced Angie’ s distinctive style, which embraces creativity beyond traditional design rules. She believes in crafting beautiful, livable spaces that reflect her clients’ personalities, fostering a collaborative designer-client relationship built on trust.
Whether starting with a blank slate or curating a space rich with history, Angie finds joy in every project, guiding it from concept to completion. Beyond her work, she enjoys antiquing, traveling with her family and continuously evolving her own home with new inspirations.
