Award-winning designer Megan Molten elevates Lowcountry aesthetic | People to Watch
Interior designer Megan Molten, founder and chief creative officer of Megan Molten Design + Shop, received an ARTs retail award this year as a first-time nominee. The award honored her ability to combine custom interior design services with a curated shop that offers both brick-and-mortar and online shopping options. Since founding her design business in 2018, Molten has also partnered on product collections including lighting, mirrors and wallpaper with companies like Mitzi Lighting and Cooper Classics. This year, the company reached new milestones. “Our design work has elevated to a new level of luxury. Lowcountry living is now gaining international recognition. In the shop, our new website launch, concierge service and expanded reach have allowed us to serve clients beyond our local scope. Like many in the industry, we faced the lows of 2021–2022, and then the challenges of 2023, but those seasons forced us to get creative and set big goals,”
Molten said. “Seeing those dreams become reality — and watching our team and business grow — has been the accomplishment I’m most proud of.” For 2026, Molten plans to go international. “We can’t wait to install furnishings on our very first boat project headed to the Bahamas as well as a family home. A personal dream has also been to attend the Paris market, and I am hopeful 2026 will be the year it finally happens,” she added.
