Melissa McCarthy’s Former Home Shows Off Her Love of Vintage Lighting
See how designer Ryan Austin Hagood reimagined the interiors for the actress and her family.
When actors Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone purchased their Atlanta home in 2018, the couple was eager to move into the classic brick, ranch-style house—but not before attuning it to their taste. They enlisted Ryan Austin Hagood of r.a.d Interiors to lightly renovate and cosmetically overhaul the property on a tight timeline, turning it into the soothing environment they craved. Months later, it became clear the home demanded a bigger renovation to fit their needs.
Designers agree you should avoid decorating with these colors during summer – and what to use instead
Steer clear of these hues for a home in keeping with the seasons
Not only will dark colors feel too heavy during summer, but they can also be associated with the winter months. Ryan Austin Hagood, principal designer at r.a.d. Interiors adds: 'I generally recommend steering clear of darker, heavier tones that evoke a wintry feel, such as dark greens and reds, particularly in patterns like plaid which can conjure images of Christmas. These hues, along with heavier blankets and cozy textures, are better suited for creating a warm ambiance during the colder seasons.'

Art can also add to the atmosphere your bathroom evokes, as Ryan Austin Hagood, principal designer at r.a.d. Interiors, explains: 'Bathrooms, often the most intimate spaces in the home, provide an ideal setting for displaying beloved artwork or photography. Whether it's something intriguing, humorous, or meaningful, having art enriches the time spent in these personal retreats daily. Art is always a wise choice when it resonates with you and complements the space.'
