A legacy rooted in art and design.

Andrea’s love for interiors runs deep. Raised in North Carolina, she credits her grandmother—a decorative arts painter at Drexel Heritage—with inspiring her early passion for craftsmanship and creativity.

That foundation still informs her work today, along with a lifelong curiosity and commitment to staying ahead of industry innovations.

Design that evolves with you.

Whether you’re refreshing several rooms or renovating an entire home, we approach every project with the same care, precision, and personalized attention.

We prioritize materials and technologies that support how you live—performance fabrics, home automation, and thoughtful functionality that stands the test of time.

We work with individuals and families at every stage of life: busy professionals, empty-nesters, repeat clients, and those stepping into a new chapter. What unites them is a desire to fall in love with where they live—and a trust that we’ll help them get there, beautifully.

“Inspiration can come from anywhere—a piece of art, a family story, even a walk through nature.

The key is knowing what speaks to the client before they even know it.”

Andrea Houck

Founder + Principal Designer

Andrea Houck is a seasoned interior designer known for creating soulful, story-rich homes that reflect the lives and values of the people who live in them. With a background in art direction and over 25 years of experience, Andrea brings a refined eye, an intuitive process, and a deep commitment to every detail—making her a trusted partner for clients who want to fall in love with where they live.

Andrea’s love for design began early. Raised in a small town near Hickory, North Carolina, she grew up surrounded by the craftsmanship of her grandmother, who painted decorative furniture for Drexel Heritage. She still remembers pointing out—at the age of four—that her bedroom wallpaper had been installed upside down. That early instinct has guided her ever since.

Today, Andrea leads a boutique team based in Washington, D.C., offering full-service design and project management with a signature blend of beauty, functionality, and emotional depth. She stays current with the latest in home technology, performance materials, and design innovation—not just for the sake of trend, but to ensure each space is built to last and live beautifully.

She is a regular attendee of High Point Market, participates in designer show houses and home tours for inspiration, and remains actively engaged in the design community. Her work has been featured in Elle Decor, Flower Magazine, The Washington Post, and Home & Design, among others.

Andrea believes every home should begin with a love story—and she’s honored to help her clients tell theirs.

We don’t follow trends—we follow you.

We listen deeply, design intuitively, and bring decades of expertise to every decision.

Because to us, this isn’t just decoration, it’s personal.

Our work reflects who you are, how you live, and what matters most to you.
