Who is Amelia James?
Amelia James Interiors was founded in memory of my late parents, Jim and Amelia—two people whose love of travel, culture, and meaningful details shaped the way I see the world. When our family moved to Tokyo during my childhood, it sparked a lasting appreciation for beauty, history, and the way spaces tell a story.
Their passport signatures are woven into the Amelia James logo—a personal tribute to the legacy they left me. At Amelia James Interiors, I carry that spirit forward: creating homes layered with antiques, heirlooms, and thoughtful design that feels collected, elegant, and deeply personal. Because every home should tell a story—and every client should feel truly at home.
