Alexandria, Virginia

Our Manifesto

We design homes that feel undeniably alive — spaces that invite you to exhale, gather, and celebrate your story, every single day.

Our Story

Layered, soulful, timeless — we curate spaces with intention. Rooms where morning coffee tastes richer, hosting feels natural, and style whispers rather than shouts.

Founded in 2016 by principal designer Asha Maxey, Asha Maía Design is an award-winning interior design studio based in Alexandria, Virginia, serving Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and beyond. Our work blends classic and contemporary elements to create richly personal homes that are both beautiful and deeply livable.

We specialize in full-scope interior design for custom new builds and complete home furnishings. Each project is approached with care and creativity, balancing enduring character with ease of everyday living. From the bones of the architecture to the last collected accent, every detail is chosen to reflect our clients’ story — and support the way they truly want to live.

Asha Maía Design serves Alexandria, Virginia; Arlington, Virginia; Fairfax County; Loudoun County; Montgomery County; Washington, DC; surrounding areas, and beyond.

Home for the Holidays: Blending Tradition with Modern Comfort

Designing for this season isn’t about spectacle. It’s about subtle gestures and intentional layers. Think soft light, thoughtful textures, and a quiet nod to heritage mixed with the ease of now. It’s about blending what’s been passed down through generations (whether that be a family recipe or an antique piece of artwork) with what feels good today.

Moody Interiors: Embracing Depth and Sophistication in Your Home

At Asha Maía Design, we pair rich, soulful tones with layered lighting and textured materials to create interiors that feel timeless and inviting. Moody interiors do not mean darkness or heaviness. Instead, they embody comfort and understated luxury, like the calm of a crisp evening wrapped in a woolen throw. These spaces are designed to comfort, inspire, and tell a story.
