Creating spaces you will love.®

Residential Interior Design and Construction Consulting

We believe every home should begin with a love story—yours.

Your home isn’t just where you live. It’s where your life unfolds…where you rest, gather, grow, and celebrate the moments that matter most.

We’re here to make sure every inch of that space reflects who you are and what you value.

With over two decades of experience, A Houck Designs founder and principal designer Andrea Houck leads every project with a rare blend of creative instinct and meticulous attention to detail.

Her work is both personal and precise—soulful spaces built to last, whether traditional, modern, or somewhere in between®.

Creating spaces you will love to live in, grow in, and return to.

Our clients want more than beauty. They want to feel seen. They want to feel taken care of. And they want a home that feels unmistakably theirs.

We don’t follow trends. We follow your lead—and trust our instincts to bring your vision to life, often in ways you didn’t expect, but instantly recognize as right.

We design homes that feel as good as they look. Homes with heart. Homes with purpose. Homes that love you back.

“Design is personal. We don’t just create beautiful spaces—we help our clients fall in love with how they live.”

Our Expertise

Whole-Home Renovations and New Builds

Whether you’re renovating a home or building a new one, we are with you every step of the way. We bring the eye of an art director and the instincts of a seasoned designer so that every detail aligns with your vision (even the ones you didn’t know to ask for). We collaborate with your architect and builder to create a legacy home built to last.

Kitchen and Bath Design + Remodel

We design kitchens and bathrooms with intention and thoughtful detail, taking into account how you live and how you use your spaces. By narrowing the sea of choices, we help you conjure your dream kitchen or bath—and enjoy the process along the way. We bring together an expert team of tradespeople to beautifully execute the plan and craft the luxurious experience you crave.

Full-Service Interior Design

With projects ranging from several rooms to a whole house, we manage the entire design process, from initial concept to final installation. We create soulful, enduring spaces that feel like a true reflection of who you are (and not just what’s in style). We work in your style so that your home feels timeless, personal, and entirely your own.

Custom Furnishings

We design bespoke furnishings tailor-made to fit your space, your lifestyle, and your aesthetic. Our custom designs provide layout solutions, enhanced functionality, personalized style, and lasting quality. We combine the finest materials and work with skilled makers to bring the one-of-a-kind designs to life and to elevate your space.

Space Planning

We develop custom floor plans and furniture layouts that are functional, intuitive, and practical. We combine artistry with technical precision so that your spaces flow seamlessly and support the way you live. Our cohesive plans consider focal points, sightlines, and outlet placement—all the finer aspects that combine to create spaces that feel good and function smoothly.

Interior Architecture

We bring artistic vision to the interior architecture of your home, creating magical moments that add both enduring beauty and functional ease. Bespoke built-ins to house your beloved collections. A window seat to curl up in. Wainscoting to evoke timeless elegance. We coordinate with your architect and builder to craft harmonious, personalized spaces that speak to you.

Styling and Art Placement

We believe that the personal details and final touches truly make the house a home and help to uniquely tell your story. We develop richly layered schemes, from comfy pillows that allow you to sink into movie night, to artwork that evokes memories of your world travels. We showcase your prized collections and treasured mementos—and add curated touches that complete the cohesive narrative.

Project Oversight

We lead every project with expert project management so that you can trust the process, relax into the experience, and feel taken care of from start to finish. We manage the details, large and small, with thought and intention. Your home is where life happens and memories are made, and our goal to make you fall in love with where you live.

Every project begins with careful consideration of materials and finishes that will shape how a space looks and feels. From textures and tones to subtle details, these early selections help us define the direction of the design and ensure the final result feels cohesive, and personal.

This foundational step allows us to create spaces that truly support the way our clients live. Learn more about our design process on the creating spaces blog. Link in bio.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a bright, hopeful new year.

This Capitol Hill dining room brings an updated take on classic Southern style. With clients who love gardening, we knew the design needed to reflect their passion for florals while still honoring the history of their row house.

We matched the home’s existing gold-toned grasscloth in the hallway and wrapped it around the dining room, then added a complementary floral-patterned grasscloth on the accent wall to deepen the garden-like palette. Velvet and raw silk dining chairs introduce soft, blossomy tones, while a green Murano glass mirror and a floral painting by Atlanta artist Susie Pryor add color and charm.

It’s a space that feels warm, personal, and welcoming—perfect for the holiday season and gatherings throughout the year.
