Welcome to Farragut!
An interior designer's guide to the place she calls "home"
Almost 30 years ago, Knoxville natives Alfie and Mitch Rowan chose to raise their family in Farragut, Tennessee. Decades later, their children have fled the nest, they’ve spent over 20 years growing Rowan Hall Interiors, and they still call Farragut “home.” Who better to weigh in on the Knoxville suburb than them?!
Farragut is one of East Tennessee’s favorite places to raise a family. The top schools, safe neighborhoods and convenient location make it a premier choice for parents looking for a small-town atmosphere for their children to grow up. Rowan Hall’s office sits within the Farragut city limits where our interior design team is lucky enough to serve this great community.
Ghosts of Decades Past
The Knoxville suburb’s history dates back to the Civil War, but it wasn’t officially incorporated until 1980. The homes and neighborhoods do tend to reflect that late 1900s style. Dark, dated kitchens from the 90s and 80s floral wallpaper aren’t uncommon in Farragut homes. The good news is that most of these homes have excellent bones and quality craftsmanship due to the neighborhoods’ high building standards. You may not fall in love with a 30-year-old home at first glance, but, lucky for you, we know a Farragut interior design firm with plenty of experience turning an outdated home into a place you love!

Throughout the years, our Farragut clients have welcomed Rowan Hall’s team of interior designers into their homes to breathe more modern life. We’ve created classic and timeless kitchens, cool and contemporary bonus rooms, and light, airy great rooms. We get to know our clients’ lifestyles and design preferences and give them spaces that welcome and inspire.
An office too depressing to work in is wasted space, and a bedroom that doesn’t feel like an oasis isn’t serving anyone well. We love when our clients trust Rowan Hall to give their homes new life and create spaces that function for their families. If your Farragut or Knoxville-area home doesn’t feel like you, our team of experienced interior designers is ready to give your place a facelift. We’ll work with what you have, design custom pieces that fit your lifestyle, and hand-select fabric and artwork that will inspire you for years to come. Schedule an initial consultation today and get to know our principal designer, Alfie Rowan. She’ll provide insight and expertise in this 2-hour working meeting, and by the end, you’ll be ready for a Rowan Hall refresh to make your home shine!
Fresh and Functional

One Farragut home has been the subject of several Rowan Hall renovations throughout the years. We began in their very brown kitchen, gave their basement bonus room a fresh new feel, said “goodbye” to a wood-paneled office from decade’s past, and touched just about every room in between. Now these clients enjoy a home that reflects their own personal style and will evolve with them for years to come.
If you’re looking to buy a home in Farragut, Alfie’s advice is to not get hung up on the outdated details. Fall in love with a neighborhood, find a home with solid bones and room for your family to grow, and understand that the vision may come later. If you can’t envision the potential, give us a call! We can provide design plans, visual renderings, and inspiration to make you excited about your new home. Better yet, we’ll put those plans into action while you sit back and enjoy your new town.
